An Exasperated Pentagon Responds to the Taylor Swift Conspiracy Theories

Published February 3, 2024 By admin with Comments 0

If you’re totally compos mentis, you already know that the right-wing conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Joe Biden, Super Bowl LVIII, and the 2024 election do not have any basis in reality. Nevertheless, given that they’re absolutely gripping certain segments of the population, the Pentagon has felt the need to officially weigh in to make clear that Taylor Swift is not at the center of a government plot—specifically a “psyop”—to reelect Biden.

In a statement, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told Politico: “To set the record straight—Taylor Swift is not part of a DOD psychological operation. Period.” While the conspiracy theories surrounding Swift reached a fever pitch this weekend after her boyfriend’s football team clinched its spot in the Super Bowl, the arguably most deranged moment came last month when a Fox News anchor went on the air and declared, not as a joke, “Around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.”
