MAGA meltdown takes ugly turn as absurd Taylor Swift conspiracy theory erupts ahead of Super Bowl
NEW YORK CITY,NEW YORK: It seems that the Kansas City Chiefs' resounding win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game has stirred discontent among a faction of MAGA influencers, largely due to the influence of right-wing conspiracy theorists.
The Chiefs, under the stellar leadership of their star Tight End Travis Kelce, are on their way to the Super Bowl.
Yet, the game isn't the only thing capturing the media's attention.
Pop star Taylor Swift, who is said to be dating Kelce, has surprisingly found herself at the center of an odd conspiracy theory - allegedly to boost the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden.
MAGA's Swift conspiracy theory ahead of Super Bowl
Prominent MAGA media figures have begun to spread conspiracy theories about the pop icon, advancing the irrational idea that she is involved in an extensive psychological operations scheme orchestrated by the NFL and the Democratic Party to secure the 2024 presidential election for President Joe Biden.

The tension stems from Swift's 2020 endorsement of President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce's involvement, the Chiefs tight end who is Swift’s boyfriend, in a promotional campaign for the pharmaceutical behemoth Pfizer.
A New York Times article, which mentioned Biden's desire for Swift's endorsement again this year, further ignited the situation.

"I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month," Vivek Ramaswamy, wrote on Monday on X.
"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."

Ramaswamy's comments were in response to a post by Jack Posobiec, a known far-right conspiracy theorist.
Posobiec, during an interview with renowned actress Roseanne Barr, who has recently been drawn into the far-right online discourse, shared his version of the theory.
Posobiec suggested that the Democratic Party and other influential were "gearing up for an operation to use Taylor Swift in the election against" Donald Trump.
Barr concurred with this view, stating that Swift is "definitely somebody who has consented to speak the way the establishment wants to be spoken of" and her influence would be a key strategy in their attempt to gain an upper hand in the forthcoming election, per CNN.
Host Drew Hernandez tweeted, "Taylor Swift will be politically activated soon by the Democrat Party to further emotionally manipulate millions of American females (predominantly the youth) to raise another generation to commit infanticide and support the party that will save their so called right to do so."

Kandiss Taylor, a former MAGA candidate from Georgia shared a MEAWW news article from October and remarked, "I tried to warn yall back in October that the influence of @taylorswift13 on our youth with witchcraft was demonic, evil, and Luciferian. Of course, Satan wants to use her now to elect Joe back into the White House to destroy what’s left of America. No surprise here."

Internet reacts to Swift conspiracy theories
There is apprehension within the MAGA reportedly ranks that Swift might escalate her activism in this election with the aim of decisively defeating Trump. It remains unclear though.
As the MAGA meltdown swept across the internet and news platforms, individuals on social media responded with a range of viewpoints.
A user tweeted, "I've never given a shit about the Super Bowl before, but this year I really want the Chiefs (is that his team?) to win. The MAGA tears will be so sweet."
"The conspiracies aren't the source of their hostilities. Their hostilities are the source of their conspiracies." said another.
A person mentioned, "MAGA seems jealous of those that are happy and don’t need to blame others for their circumstances."
"This has to be their most pathetic meltdown yet," noted another.
"They hate her because she can get people to register to vote - it scares the hell out of them," claimed another.
