Watch: How Taylor Swift ended up being the latest victim of conspiracy theories from the right wing…

Recently, this week, the Kansas City Chiefs upset the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, but some of the attention was focused on one person in the stands, singer Taylor Swift. As Laura Barrón-López reports, major right-wing conspiracies are now revolving around the music icon and her football star boyfriend.

Now the women who run the Biden campaign want to set the big guy up. The most unpopular president of all time wants to have a relationship with Taylor Swift.

A year ago, a conspiracy took off when a former Texans running back joked that the NFL was scripted.

Then, on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs upset the Baltimore Ravens, fueling lies that the NFL changed the script to capitalize on these two, Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

And, more recently, a new element was added to the conspiracy theory. Right-wing news pundits are now calling the Swift-Kelce spectacle a psychological operation staged by Democrats to give Biden a big boost in his reelection bid.

And conservative figures like former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy chimed in, tweeting: “I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped up couple this fall.”

Donovan says over time, conspiracy theories feed on each other.

She says facts related to big cultural or political events, like the Biden campaign hoping for another Swift endorsement, and the Swift-Kelce relationship being worth millions in brand value for the NFL can quickly shift into full-blown conspiracy theories.

At any rate, fans still hope to see Swift in the stands on Super Bowl Sunday.
