The Taylor Swift-Biden Conspiracy: How a Bizarre Theory Spread Among Trump Supporters

The theory that pop star Taylor Swift and President Joe Biden are secretly working together to undermine former President Donald Trump and his supporters emerged on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Parler in late 2023. 

The theory claims that Swift, who endorsed Biden in the 2020 election and has been vocal about her political views, is actually a deep state agent who is using her music and influence to brainwash millions of fans and sway public opinion against Trump. The theory also alleges that Biden, who is a fan of Swift and has praised her courage and talent, is in cahoots with her and is rewarding her with favors and privileges, such as inviting her to perform at the White House and granting her access to classified information.

The Evidence of the Theory

The proponents of the theory point to various pieces of evidence to support their claims, such as:

• Swift’s album Folklore, which was released in July 2020, contains hidden messages and symbols that hint at her allegiance to Biden and the deep state. For example, the song Cardigan is said to refer to Biden’s habit of wearing cardigans, and the song The Last Great American Dynasty is said to depict Swift’s role in bringing down Trump’s dynasty.
• Swift’s appearance on the cover of Time magazine in December 2020, which named her as one of the most influential people of the year, was a sign of her collusion with the mainstream media and the establishment. The theory claims that Swift was wearing a blue dress and a red ring, which represent the colors of the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively, and signify her intention to divide and conquer the nation.
• Swift’s performance at the Celebrating America concert, which was held on January 20, 2021, to mark Biden’s inauguration, was a blatant display of her loyalty to the new administration and her disdain for Trump and his supporters. The theory asserts that Swift sang Firework by Katy Perry, a fellow pop star and Biden supporter, as a mockery of Trump’s failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021, which involved fireworks at the Capitol.
• Swift’s documentary Miss Americana, which was released on Netflix in January 2020, was a propaganda piece that aimed to portray her as a feminist icon and a political activist, while demonizing Trump and his policies. The theory argues that Swift deliberately timed the release of the documentary to coincide with the start of the impeachment trial of Trump, which was initiated by the House of Representatives on January 13, 2020.

The Impact of the Theory

The theory has gained traction among some Trump supporters, who view Swift and Biden as enemies of the people and the country. The theory has also sparked backlash and ridicule from Swift and Biden fans, as well as from critics and experts, who dismiss the theory as baseless, absurd, and delusional. The theory has also raised concerns about the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories on social media, and the potential consequences for democracy, security, and public health.
