Swift and uncertain…
It’s likely that everyone has encountered someone in their circle who embraces conspiracy theories. In the past, those deeply entrenched in baseless narratives could at least access therapy for their paranoia. However, the current trend seems to reward such individuals with positions in Congress and other influential spaces.
This shift has extended to even the most trivial matters, such as Taylor Swift’s alleged romance with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite not following the NFL for years, the pervasive nature of conspiracy theories has made it impossible to escape them. There’s even speculation that Swift wrote an unpublished spy movie or novel called “Argylle” (which she didn’t), emphasizing the perception that there’s nothing Swift can’t accomplish.
While not a devoted Swift fan, there’s an acknowledgment of her ability to stir controversy merely through her existence, a trait admired like a cunning little sister’s mischief. What’s particularly irksome about Swift conspiracy theories is their increasing and senseless political nature. Swift’s advocacy for her work, women, and encouragement of voter registration has somehow become a source of controversy.
Over the weekend, Mike Crispi, a self-proclaimed experienced talk show host and political activist, tweeted a theory about the NFL being rigged for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift, and Travis Kelce, all part of a grand plan to spread Democrat propaganda. This notion is echoed by others, like failed presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, adding fuel to the absurd speculations.
The theories surrounding Swift and Kelce’s relationship range from suggesting she’s with him for his money, even though she’s worth over $1 billion, to the idea that she aimed to sabotage the Chiefs in favor of the Philadelphia Eagles. Other theories involve her alleged interest in dating Travis’s brother Jason, who is already married.
Numerous theories, including a supposed feud with Kim Kardashian and her connection to the Super Bowl halftime show, have surfaced. Some believe Swift is creating diversions to deflect attention or generate material for her projects. One theory even involves numerology, asserting that their birth years and jersey numbers add up in a meaningful way.
Amidst these wild speculations, the article suggests that perhaps people need more constructive hobbies and recommends taking a break from the internet. While acknowledging the existence of genuine conspiracies, it emphasizes that historical conspiracies that succeeded were characterized by proportion and a limited scope. The article concludes by sarcastically entertaining the idea that Swift and Kelce’s connection might be part of a grand plot to influence the 2024 election or even propel Swift into presidential eligibility.
