Internet furious as theorists suggest Kansas City shooting was a ploy by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: The internet is abuzz with conspiracy theories linking the tragic Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting to pop icon Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
These theorists audaciously suggest that the incident was a calculated move by the duo to rally support for President Joe Biden and stricter gun control laws.
The speculation, which has been widely circulated by social media users, implies that the shooting was part of a larger scheme orchestrated by the celebrity couple to bolster backing for the Democratic party, as per Daily Mail.
Conspiracy theorists suggest Kansas City Parade shooting was Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's ploy
In the aftermath of a tragic Valentine's Day shooting that resulted in one fatality and numerous injuries, several posts have surfaced drawing an unusual link to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
These posts, largely shared by far-right conservatives and supporters of Donald Trump, suggest that Swift and Kelce would endorse Biden's re-election campaign if the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, the Daily Mail reported.
Furthermore, there were claims that the Super Bowl, which ended in a 25-22 victory for the Chiefs over the San Francisco 49ers, was manipulated for political ends.
One theorist tweeted, "Who else finds it odd that a shooting at KC Champions parade happened & suddenly now we have Travis Kelce talking about gun control?"
"Oh thats right he is dating anti gun activist Taylor Swift I find it funny that when Democrats are in charge we have more shootings in this country," they added.

"This mass shooting at Kansas City's Super Bowl parade seems like a perfect pretext for an impassioned gun control plea from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Just saying," added a theorist.
