This Taylor Swift & Biden Super Bowl Theory Claims The Super Bowl Is Rigged

Taylor Swift, Biden, Super Bowl theory

So what is Taylor Swift, Biden, and Super Bowl theory? Calling it a theory without the word “absurd conspiracy” to preface it would be giving it too much credit, but basically some right-wingers think the National Football League is rigging games so that the Chiefs win, therefore keeping Travis Kelce’s (allegedly, fake, they say) relationship with Taylor Swift in the spotlight. Thereby using her to endorse Biden.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Vivek Ramaswamy, failed 2024 presidential candidate who has spread conspiracy theories about the January 6 insurrection and the legitimacy of the 2020 election, tweeted on January 30. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”

Jack Posobiec, a far-right conspiracy theorist, claimed that the Democratic Party and other powers are “gearing up for an operation to use Taylor Swift in the election against” Donald Trump. A story published by The New York Times noted that Biden would like Swift’s endorsement, which added fuel to the fire.

“Taylor Swift is an op,” Benny Johnson, a right-wing media personality with millions of followers tweeted. “It’s all fake. You’re being played.”

“The Democrats’ Taylor Swift election interference psyop is happening in the open,” added Laura Loomer, a self-described Islamophobe who has been embraced by Trump. “It’s not a coincidence that current and former Biden admin officials are propping up Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. They are going to use Taylor Swift as the poster child for their pro-abortion GOTV Campaign.”

Democrats aren’t oblivious to her pulling power, however. “Taylor Swift stands tall and unique,” California governor Gavin Newsom told the Times in September. “What she was able to accomplish just in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and that they should have a choice in the next election, I think, is profoundly powerful.”

Taylor Swift’s political beliefs

As a music star with roots in country music, Taylor Swift has typically moved cautiously and hesitantly when it comes to politics; both the right and the left wanted to claim her as their own. She had made a habit of not making her political leanings public, leaving The Guardian to speculate in 2017 that Swift, not yet 30, was a “musical envoy for Trump’s values”, a year after the former reality TV star won the presidential election.

“Her silence is striking, highlighting the parallels between the singer and the president: their adept use of social media to foster a diehard support base; their solipsism; their laser focus on the bottom line; their support among the “alt-right”,” the newspaper argued. “Swift’s songs echo Mr Trump’s obsession with petty score-settling in their repeated references to her celebrity feuds, or report in painstaking detail on her failed romantic relationships (often, there is crossover). The message is quintessentially Trumpian: everyone is out to get me – but I win anyway.”

But in 2018, Swift famously broke her silence to speak out against Senate Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn and endorse two Democratic contenders in the race in her home state of Tennessee. The decision was captured in the filming of her Miss Americana documentary.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country,” she shared on Instagram at the time.

“[Blackburn’s] voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values,” she continued.

Swift famously endorsed Biden in the 2020 election: “I spoke to @vmagazine about why I’ll be voting for Joe Biden for president. So apt that it’s come out on the night of the VP debate. Gonna be watching and supporting @KamalaHarris by yelling at the tv a lot. And I also have custom cookies,” she tweeted at the time. In 2023, a single Instagram post of hers led to 35,000 new voter registrations.

Travis Kelce’s political beliefs

Travis Kelce’s political beliefs haven’t ruffled many feathers. Once in 2017, in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, Kelce took a knee during the Star Spangled Banner. More recently, he angered anti-vaxxers when he posted about his partnership with Pfizer and encouraged fans to get their COVID-19 shot. 

This was just months after appearing in a commercial for Bud Light, the beer brand that was boycotted by conservatives for partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. So it’s clear Travis Kelce has progressive values.
