This IS gonna go on for a while…..
Grown men knocking a 30 something multi-millon dollar Rock Star for her political beliefs….
Ah?
The pop star DID back Joe Biden in 2020….
Fox News host Sean Hannity cautioned pop star Taylor Swift on Tuesday against endorsing President Biden as he runs for reelection in 2024.
“Does Taylor realize the guy that they want her to endorse is a kind of stumbling, bumbling mess, doesn’t have the energy to even give a 30-minute speech, let alone perform a three-hour concert like she does?” Hannity said of Swift and Biden on his nightly show. “He also is kind of very creepy. She may want to check out those creepy videos, they’re online.”
Hannity’s comments were first highlighted by Mediaite.
Swift has been the center of a right-wing conspiracy that has spread in recent days suggesting the NFL is rigging games to help the Kansas City Chiefs, the team her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays on.
The conspiracy theory alleges Democrats and propping up the Chiefs, who play in the Feb. 11 Super Bowl, to draw more attention to Swift so she can endorse Biden for president.
Swift has yet to state her support for any candidate in the 2024 cycle. In 2018, she backed Democrat Phil Bredesen against Republican Marsha Blackburn in a Tennessee Senate race, and she endorsed Biden for president about a month before the 2020 election.
Hannity accused Swift of hating on Republicans.
“Or maybe she just bought into all the lies about conservatives and Republicans, that they are racist and sexist and homophobic and xenophobic and transphobic and Islamophobic. And Republicans and conservatives want dirty air and water, and a total ban on all abortion with no exceptions,” he said. “If she believes all that, she is believing a lie. Because those talking points are simply untrue.”

A recent New York Times story outlined how the Biden campaign is reportedly interested in a “dream” endorsement from Swift, one of the most popular music and entertainment icons in the world….

More on Swift …Democrats and the younger voters….
Conservative media personalities are raging over a new enemy and onetime Biden endorser whose power has never been more undeniable: Taylor Swift.
Why it matters: The teams behind the two 2024 presidential frontrunners are zeroing in on a pop mega-star with a feverish fan base that actually does heed her calls to go out and vote.
- Swift has not yet endorsed anyone in the 2024 presidential race.
- The New York Times reported Monday that Biden’s campaign is courting her for a 2020 repeat, even jokingly considering the president appear at an Eras tour stop.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone reported that Trump allies are closely watching for Swift’s move.
Between the lines: Swift has countless young, passionate fans who not only are willing to spend big money to support her — but also are highly active online.
- Former President Trump and Biden will be vying for the youth vote as that bloc’s enthusiasm for either candidate is plummeting.
MAGA acolytes ranging from ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump lawyer Alina Habba to Fox News host Jeanine Pirro are publicly fuming over the singer, asserting she needs to “stay out of politics” or implying she’s not what America needs….
UPDATE….
Conservative senators tell the right: Drop the Taylor Swift fixation, enjoy the Super Bowl
“Everyone should embrace the Travis and Tay-Tay story,” Sen. Roger Marshall said.
Right-wing corners of social media currently contain plenty of unfounded conspiracy theories about the Super Bowl, NFL, Taylor Swift psyops and Joe Biden. But some conservative senators aren’t having any of it.
“There’s no truth whatsoever,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a former college football coach. “Football is football. Hopefully we stay closer to that than we can all this social media.”
He added: “I don’t think it’s gonna make any difference in this election.”
It was a sentiment shared by Senate supporters of Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs, who will head to Las Vegas to face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11….

Swift replied–” Sean who?”
He, he, he
He can’t touch her reach and money
The ‘Taylor Swift Psyop’ Freaks Need to Go Outside | Charles W, Cooke in National Review:
Jesse Watters wants to know if Taylor Swift is a “Pentagon psyop asset.” Jack Posobiec is worried that elites are “gearing up for an operation to use Taylor Swift in the election.” Benny Johnson has concluded that “Taylor Swift is an op.” Laura Loomer is fretting about “the Democrats’ Taylor Swift election interference psyop.” Vivek Ramaswamy believes that the outcome of the Super Bowl has been predetermined. Together, these people have a prime-time cable-news show, 10 million followers on Twitter, intimate access to the likely Republican nominee for president, and absolutely no idea what the country they live in is really like….
In a free country, it is not incumbent upon anyone to acquiesce to the majority’s view simply because it is held by the majority. But, in the game of democratic politics, it sure as hell helps to understand what normal people believe. For years, I have wondered whether the country’s most fanatical progressives have any idea how they sound to normal ears. Now, I must ask the same of our most fanatical conservatives. The internet is a collation mechanism: However esoteric one’s views, one can usually convince an audience of some type — perhaps even a large audience — to discover and come to you. The real world operates differently. Online, one can say that Taylor Swift is a “Deep State psyop” and prompt a million Lost Boys to clap their hands in glee. At a bar, a baseball game, a kids’ Christmas concert, or a church, such declarations would yield embarrassed confusion, the sound of feet slowly shuffling away, and a hasty investigation into the availability of straitjackets. There is nothing conservative, populist, patriotic, or authentic about frivolous lunacy; it is as toxic when it comes from the right as when it comes from the left. To point at a television in the presence of the normal person and say, “see that Taylor Swift, she’s a Defense Department spy,” is to disqualify yourself from consideration.
