Is Taylor Swift helping U.S. President Joe Biden secure second term in 2024 election? What's the conspiracy? | Explained
Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, American football tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. And the singer and sensation also chose current U.S. President Joe Biden over Donald Trump back in 2020. These are some conspiracy theories floating around on social media.
Biden‘s supposed dig at Swift
Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl 2024 victory may have come with a lot of celebrations, however, US president Joe Biden may have had a humourous take on it, and guess what, it may have had a Taylor Swift connection.
A picture was shared by the president on his social media with the caption that read- ‘Just like we drew it up’.
For the uninitiated, this was a reference to the Dark Brandon meme.
How netizens reacted
At first I thought this was a parody account but what the hell is this,” said one user. Another user said, “which intern tweeted this”.
“Sir this is next level trolling. You are awarded 10/10,” said a third user.
When Biden used the meme for his campaign
The Brandon meme had evolved into a celebratory anthem for the 46th President’s campaign after it was utilised by various politicians and White House staff members in the past.
What do the latest polls say
Monmouth University conducted a poll and 18% thought Swift is involved in helping Biden secure a second term. And 46% have already heard of the conspiracy theories.
Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute comments
‘The supposed Taylor Swift psyop conspiracy has legs among a decent number of Trump supporters. Even many who hadn’t heard about it before we polled them accept the idea as credible. Welcome to the 2024 election.’
No performance by Swift at the Super Bowl
A performance by the star was rumoured to happen where she would support Biden again over Trump but she was absent from the event.
