He, he, he….
Ya can’t make this shit up….
A POP Star WOMAN possibly eclipsing Trump , the entertainer , in the coming two week march to the National Football League Super Bowl?
Whoa!
And these fans might be more Trump supporters?
Could Swift and her guy come out and endorse Joe Biden?
(Travis Klece has has done Covid and Bud Light commercials…)
Ouch!
For football fans eager to see a new team in the Super Bowl, the conference championship games on Sunday that sent the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers back to the main event of American sports culture were sorely disappointing.
But one thing is new: Taylor Swift. And she is driving the movement behind Donald Trump bonkers.
The fulminations surrounding the world’s biggest pop icon — and girlfriend of Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end — reached the stratosphere after Kansas City made it to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years, and the first time since Ms. Swift joined the team’s entourage.
The conspiracy theories coming out of the Make America Great Again contingent were already legion: that Ms. Swift is a secret agent of the Pentagon; that she is bolstering her fan base in preparation for her endorsement of President Biden’s re-election; or that she and Mr. Kelce are a contrived couple, assembled to boost the N.F.L. or Covid vaccines or Democrats or whatever.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Vivek Ramaswamy, the conspiratorial presidential candidate, turned Trump surrogate, pondered on social media on Monday. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
…
The right has been fuming about Ms. Swift since September, when she urged her fans on Instagram to register to vote, and the online outfit Vote.org reported a surge of 35,000 registrations in response. Ms. Swift had embarked on a world tour that helped make her a billionaire. Gavin Newsom, the California governor, praised her as“profoundly powerful.” And then Time magazine made her Person of the Year in December, kicking off another round of MAGA indignation.
The love story that linked her world with the N.F.L. has proved incendiary. Mr. Kelce’s advertisements promoting Pfizer’s Covidvaccine and Bud Light — already a target of outrage from the right over a social media promotion with a transgender influencer, Dylan Mulvaney — added fuel to that raging fire….

For further aggravation (as if Willie Nelson were not enouugh), these MAGA heads might recall that Taylor Swift got her start in hard-working patriotic right-thinking Christian Middle America’s holy-of-holies — country music.
Yup!
Travis Kelce did commercials FOR Covid?
CG, how did your reading of:
“The love story that linked her world with the N.F.L. has proved incendiary. Mr. Kelce’s advertisements promoting Pfizer’s Covidvaccine and Bud Light —”
Yup CG……
Looks into the camera about getting his shot and gets paid for the Pfizer commercial
so, it was actually more of an anti-Covid commercial.
NO!
He got the SHOT CG!
The Pfizer one not Moderna
Did he also get vaccinated against Bud Lite? Maybe you should read what you write.
“(Travis Klece has has done Covid and Bud Light commercials…)
Ouch!”
I only read the blue text for the laughs
Trump says he’s more popular than Taylor Swift…
Rolling Stone: “Behind the scenes, Trump has reacted to the possibility of Biden and Swift teaming up against him this year not with alarm, but with an instant projection of ego. In recent weeks, the former president has told people in his orbit that no amount of A-list celebrity endorsements will save Biden. Trump has also privately claimed that he is ‘more popular’ than Swift is and that he has more committed fans than she does.”
“Last month, the source close to Trump adds, the ex-president commented to some confidants that it “obviously” made no sense that he was not named Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year — an honor that went to none other than Swift in December.
Politicalwire
They both command a cult, but she draws bigger crowds.
And SHE HAS attention that Trump & Co ARE ANNOYED AT……
Maybe Trump should write a song about E. Jean Carroll.
Sure……..
Cost him maybe $100M and give her millions in residual’s‼️😁
Not if he doesn’t name her directly. T-Swift can give him some pointers.
“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, It’s me.” Words he will never say.
Hopefully, he will never ever ever be getting back together with the White House.
These kooks apparently don’t know that Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt is a Republican .
Indeed his grandfather H.L. Hunt was a major figure in the American Right Wing in the 60s who headed LifeLine which daily broadcast a coast to coast radio program .Hunt was a well known supporter of Barry Goldwater and a member of the John Birch Society whose crazy conspiracy theories rival the MAGA crazies.
Clark’s father, Lamar, was also involved in various Right Wing causes .
KC’s CEO doesn’t MATTER……
He, The NFL and others ARE making money off the couple like Travis IS……
Inane
Chiefs Coach Andy Reid accidentally referred to Joe Biden as “President Obama” at the last White House visit. Sounds like something Trump might do.
Them old GOPer’s can’t walk and chew gum st the same time, eh?
It obviously makes sense for MAGA to root for the 49ers to beat the Chiefs in 2024 in order to reverse what happened in 2020.
Many feel the refs will rig it for KC though.
The right wing meltdown over Taylo Swift possibly endorsing Biden is hilarious.
Just last summer they were jerking off over that low energy “Try That in a Small Town” song..
Now they are all about “politics and music should be separate!”. Lol.
Ask Kid Rock.
(And what would Merle say? Are the good times really over for good?_
They be Haters Scott….
Slightly off-topic, but this seems like the best place for this piece from The Guardian (U.K.):
…Seriously? Kinda. Elmo posted on X –
Elmo’s on X? Of course, along with Big Bird, Grover and the rest. Anyway, he made an apparently innocuous post: “Elmo is just checking in!”
Oh, he refers to himself in the third person. How annoying. Along with Donald Trump, among others.
What are Elmo’s politics, incidentally? Not important, although Big Bird did have an internet spat with the US senator Ted Cruz a while back – about Covid vaccines – but that’s also by the by. Anyway, Elmo’s tweet. He asked: “How is everybody doing?”
Seems totally in character; what’s the big deal? Well, some of his half a million followers told him how they were. Quite a lot of them, actually. At the time of writing, Elmo’s question has received 12,000 replies and been read 172m times.
And how is everybody doing? Not great.
Oh dear! Would they like to expand? “Elmo I just got laid off,” said one. “Elmo im depressed and broke,” said another. There was anxiety about the presidential election, departed spouses and disrespectful offspring. The journalist Kassy Dillon’s dog had just rolled in goose poo: “Thanks for asking Elmo.”
That’s hardly the end of world. Then I give you: “The world is burning around us, Elmo,” complete with an Elmo-in-flames gif. And: “Elmo each day the abyss we stare into grows a unique horror. One that was previously unfathomable in nature.”…
