Is this a reflection of the fear inspired by his great notoriety?
Taylor Swift once again finds herself at the heart of a conspiracy theory, this time alongside her boyfriend Travis Kelce, American football star, as well as Democratic President Joe Biden.
The relationship between the pop superstar who fills stadiums and sets records while maintaining an image of simplicity and the American football player from the Kansas City Chiefs, both party animal and “good guy,” does not pass muster. all.
It might even be too good to be true for some pro-Trump right-wing commentators and personalities.

This love story would only serve to prepare the ground for a public and resounding announcement from Taylor Swift announcing her support for the current president and Democratic candidate Joe Biden before the presidential election next November.
According to many conservatives, the Super Bowl on February 11, the high mass of American football in which Travis Kelce's team will participate, will be rigged to ensure that the Kansas City Chiefs win and do the business of the outgoing president.
“An artificially hyped couple”
“I wonder who will win the Super Bowl next month,” Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, candidate for the White House before rallying behind Donald Trump, pretended to wonder on X (ex-Twitter).
“And I wonder if a major announcement of support for a presidential candidate, coming from an artificially hyped couple, is not being prepared for this fall,” he added.
I wonder who's going to win the Super Bowl next month.
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.

“EVERYONE knows that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are a hoax and that the Super Bowl is rigged,” wrote Mike Crispi, a pro-Trump commentator.
EVERYONE knows Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is fake and the Super Bowl is rigged.
You're a whacko at this point if you DON'T believe it.

As for far-right commentator Laura Loomer, she asserts that "the Democrats' psychological election interference operation with Taylor Swift is taking place in broad daylight."
Among the people spreading this crazy theory, several took the opportunity to call Travis Kelce “Mr. Pfizer”.
Indeed, the player had promoted the pharmaceutical company's Covid vaccine, to the great dismay of anti-vaccinators.
An influence that scares Republicans
Long secret about her political ideas, Taylor Swift came out of the woodwork by sponsoring two Democrats in Tennessee in 2018.
In 2020, she officially announced her support for Joe Biden against Donald Trump, accusing the Republican of having “fanned the flames of white supremacism and racism throughout his mandate”.
Very popular among young people of voting age, the pop superstar seems to scare conservatives.
Last September, she succeeded in encouraging some 35,000 people to register on the electoral lists for the 2024 American presidential election.
For several months, she has been the subject of conspiracy theories according to which she is a pawn of the Pentagon or even that she does… black magic during her concerts.
