Stephen Colbert on the right's feud with Taylor Swift
On his late-night show, Stephen Colbert humorously tackled right-wing theories about Taylor Swift allegedly conspiring against Donald Trump's potential 2024 presidential success.
Colbert mocked Trump's claim of being more popular than Swift, humorously envisioning Trump selling out stadiums in Tokyo. He also playfully impersonated Trump, noting the absurdity of his assertion of having more committed fans than Swift.
Colbert jestingly questioned the idea of Swift endorsing Joe Biden, suggesting it might be beneath her dignity. Addressing conspiracy theorists like Vivek Ramaswamy and Jack Posobiec, Colbert highlighted baseless claims that Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce is politically motivated.
He also referenced a theory about Swift endorsing Biden during the Super Bowl's Halftime Show. Despite Swift not endorsing any candidate, Colbert pointed out her significant cultural influence, jokingly speculating on Biden's era-themed attire if she were to support him.

Biden skips Super Bowl interview again, sparks speculation of Taylor Swift endorsement
President Joe Biden has declined CBS News' request for an interview ahead of the Super Bowl on February 11, marking the second consecutive year he won't participate in a pre-game interview with the network hosting the event.
This decision breaks a recent tradition where presidents engaged in such interviews before the Super Bowl, with Barack Obama initiating the practice in 2009. Despite being an election year, Biden's move follows a similar decision by Donald Trump in 2018.
The reasons for skipping the interview this year are unclear, and it deviates from Biden's previous interviews with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell in 2021 and NBC News' Lester Holt in 2022.
Fans criticize Christian McCaffrey's mom for boycotting Taylor Swift ahead of Chiefs vs 49ers game
Lisa McCaffrey, mother of San Francisco 49ers' player Christian McCaffrey, has declared a temporary boycott against Taylor Swift.
The pop star is currently in a relationship with Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who will be competing against Lisa's son in the upcoming Super Bowl on February 11.
Despite being a self-proclaimed Swiftie, Lisa's decision adds an intriguing off-the-field sub-plot to the Super Bowl showdown between the 49ers and the Chiefs.
Lisa's comments about Taylor Swift received negative reactions on social media, with one Facebook user criticizing her as "jealous" and "petty."
Another sarcastically suggested that Lisa might buy the team, while someone else expressed confusion, stating, "There is no way to comprehend this ridicule rationalization unless you’re 13!"
Meanwhile, a comment highlighted the perceived problem with such boycotts, stating, "That's what's wrong with the world, boycotting one thing when it has nothing to do really with the other. Boycotts are really getting."
