Taylor Swift draws ire of conservatives after Chiefs win AFC championship, claim she's a 'psyop'
Some right-wing pundits have suggested without evidence that all the hype around Swift could be part of an orchestrated plot to drum up hype for the Democratic Party.

Conservatives: TAYLOR SWIFT DID THIS TO GET JOE BIDEN REELECTED!!!1!!
Plus Taylor Swift who has been immensely popular for like...What, over a decade now? Only now suddenly wielding her influence to run the government or something? Please, she's rich, popular, and in business, she basically operates as her own independent nation without needing to run anyone else's. 😂
She turns 35 just before the next president takes office, meaning this is the first election she could legally become president. Coincidence???
Absolutely a coincidence. This is all a marketing stunt, but the conspiracies have been fun to read.
She will be 35 in December and could be elected president in 2024.
She's also been doing get out the vote/voter registration campaigns since at least 2018. She has officially endorsed multiple Democrats in the past, including Biden in the general election in 2020. None of this is new or a secret. Conservatives think they have uncovered some grand plot though. Like Taylor Swift needs the NFL and she wouldn't have any publicity or influence without it. If anything it's probably the opposite, with NFL trying to use Taylor Swift to boost their own popularity more.
I heard NPR say that she's brought in roughly $300 million to the NFL because so many more women are now watching
Seriously. There is a conspiracy here, and it's to get the Chief's to win. /s. Probably. Not really. Yes I'm bitter.
All joking aside I miss when we could have "low stake" conspiracy theories. Now we have genuine flat earthers and the like, it's only a matter of time before someone weaponizes the "birds aren't real" meme. I swear god people will look back at pizzagate as the definitive marker where the world forgot 4chan was primarily a joke.
I'm bitter about the chiefs too. Also I feel like "the fix is in" and "script" jokes about the NFL have been ruined by people actually believing in something like that. If you joke about it now Poe's law will kick in, people won't know you're joking anymore. And the NFL is certainly not helping the optics by getting all buddy buddy with sports gambling.
I'm OK with the NFL having its popularity chipped away. It's a destructive sport that's held a privileged position in the US for too long.
It'd be nice if it was for better reasons, though.
I'm especially annoyed when these billionaire team owners with highly profitable teams get taxpayers to pay for their stadiums.
Now that I think about it, how about we convince them it's a leftist plot for them to destroy the NFL? We knew they would hate Swift's involvement, so we fixed the game in her boyfriend's favor in order for conservatives to turn against football.
Well she did dare to encourage her fans to vote! And that's obviously anti-democratic or something.
She's obviously a witch /s
She turned me into a newt.
... It got better.
Jokes on you, it’s Newt Gingrich
... it [sic] got worse.
they’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one
