"The Taylor Swift Conspiracy: Unraveling Right-Wing Attacks"
Right-wing conspiracy theorists are now targeting singer Taylor Swift and her football star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, suggesting that their relationship is part of a coordinated marketing campaign by Democrats to boost Biden's reelection bid. This conspiracy theory has gained traction among conservative figures, who are using it to critique Biden, stay relevant, and animate their followers. The theory has also been linked to historical issues with the NFL, such as Black Lives Matter and Colin Kaepernick, and researchers warn about the reinforcement of such theories by social media algorithms. Despite denials from Pentagon officials, the conspiracy continues to circulate, with some hoping to see Swift in the stands on Super Bowl Sunday.
