With more than a week to go, the American people and world audiences will turn their eyes to the Super Bowl. But this year, the attraction of the Super Bowl lies not only in the fact that it is the most famous sporting event in American history, but also because of Taylor Swift – the girlfriend of football player Travis Kelce.

Super Bowl: political stage?

Swift will likely attend the Super Bowl to cheer for Kelce on February 11, when his Kansas City Chiefs team plays against the San Francisco 49ers. But the presence of this golden couple in the entertainment industry is being surrounded by doubts and conspiracy theories.

Recently, former Republican 2024 US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy mentioned the possibility that the Super Bowl results will be manipulated to help current President Joe Biden gain more support.

Although noting that it was “just some unfounded speculation”, Mr. Ramaswamy contributed to highlighting widespread conspiracy theories on social networks linking Swift and this year’s US election.

This conspiracy theory argues as follows: Swift supports Democratic candidate Joe Biden, and to achieve the best media effect, she will take advantage of her boyfriend Kelce’s (arranged) victory in the Super Bowl to publicly announced her support for President Biden.

Currently, Mr. Trump is almost certain to represent the Republican Party. And it is very likely that the former US president will meet Mr. Biden again at the “final” of the 2024 US election.

For this reason, singer Swift suddenly became a hot spot of debate amid the above potential rematch. The American press believes that Republicans are actively attacking Swift because they are afraid that she will publicly support Mr. Biden from the Democratic Party like in 2020.

In addition to Ramaswamy, Mr. Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro have also attacked Swift in the past few days, asserting that the singer should “stay out of politics” or emphasize that she is not Americans are in need.

Mainstream media in the US, most of which are understood to dislike Mr. Trump, also listed a series of conspiracy theories defaming the Swift – Kelce couple, including even a stream of information speculating that the couple’s relationship ” This “swelce” is just a staging by the National Football League (NFL) and the Democratic Party to make Mr. Biden receive more support. Kelce himself is also the target of criticism from conservative politicians for collaborating with Pfizer in a campaign to support the COVID-19 vaccine.

Taylor Swift focus

The name Taylor Swift is becoming overwhelming in the celebrity list. This singer born in 1989 is at the peak of his fame, with a name that goes far beyond the stage.

Last year, Swift stood out with the Eras Tour – the biggest tour in history, surpassing the $1 billion mark in revenue for the first time. People no longer just talk about the quality of her voice or her level of showmanship these days, but talk about Swift as a global economic phenomenon, and the “savior” of the economic situation under the President’s administration. President Biden can boost nearly 4.6 billion USD for the entire US economy.

The story of Swift and gross domestic product (GDP) was all over the news last year. And although many academics and economic experts criticize the press’s simplistic and sometimes naive thinking about this, it is clear that in terms of mass media, Swift is still a gift for everyone. Mr. Biden is Mr. Trump’s thorn in the media.

Rolling Stone magazine reported last week that Mr. Trump had discussed with Republicans and conservative media figures the prospect of Swift speaking out in support of Mr. Biden. Although Mr. Trump’s campaign did not confirm the above discussions, they did think about Swift and the election.

“Joe Biden can rely on Taylor Swift to save him, but voters are looking at these sky-high inflation rates, and saying: We will never be together again,” spokesman Jason Miller of the Trump campaign told CNBC.
