Republicans believe that the relationship between the two is false and that it is only intended for electoral purposes. Fox News even asked: "Is Taylor Swift an asset of the Pentagon?" Taylor Swift was already known to be influential, but now Republicans are giving her villainous powers in a conspiracy theory.
This unbridled furor has its roots in a long-standing hatred on the right toward Swift, who in addition to being a global superstar is also openly liberal and anti-Trump. The singer supported Biden in his successful 2020 campaign and last September she used her influence to call on young people to register to vote.
