\n\tAll eyes are on Taylor Swift<\/a> and boyfriend Travis Kelce as the tight end\u2019s team prepares to go to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years. And while the Kansas City Chiefs more than earned their ticket to Feb. 11\u2019s Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas with excellent play and one of the best records in the NFL this season, there are some who think it\u2019s all a conspiracy, man.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift Reacts to Travis Kelce\u2019s Victory Speech as Chiefs Advance to Super\u00a0Bowl\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tJimmy Kimmel broke down the QAnon-like meltdown currently racing through the conservative media world on Tuesday night (Jan. 30), pointing out the outrageous tin foil hat-esque theories being amplified on Fox News and other right-wing outlets. \u201cYou expect to hear this from a couple of nuts and then it disappears, but if anything it\u2019s picking up steam,\u201d Kimmel said of the phantom dot-connectors he dubbed the \u201cNot-Too-Swifties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe host read a Jan. 28 tweet that helped kick off the fantasy football fiction, which posited, \u201cThe NFL is totally RIGGED for the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor Swift, Mr. Pfizer (Travis Kelce). All to spread DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA. Calling it now, KC wins goes to the Super Bowl, Swift comes out at the halftime show and \u2018endorses\u2019 Joe Biden with Kelce at midfield. It\u2019s all been an op since day one.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe also ran down another tweet suggesting that the Super Bowl is \u201crigged,\u201d featuring a complaint about the \u201cunneeded\u201d and \u201cunwarranted\u201d Swift coverage during games and calling the Chief\u2019s path to the big game \u201ctotally scripted.\u201d That one also conjured a similar image of TNT<\/a> at the game together and announcing their support for Biden.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor clarity, while Swift has attended a number of Chiefs games<\/a> this season to support her beau Kelce, and Kelce has appeared in a series of commercials encouraging Americans to get the life-saving COVID-19 vaccine, neither has made any political endorsements in this year\u2019s presidential campaign. And it is still unclear if Swift can, or will, make it back from her Eras Tour show in Japan on the night before the Super Bowl to cheer the tight end on.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Oct. 2020, Swift made a rare political endorsement when she announced that she would be voting for Biden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel continued, reading a tweet suggesting that the Super Bowl will be \u201crigged [just like our elections],\u201d parroting the incessant refrain from one-term former president Donald Trump falsely claiming that he actually won the 2020 election over President Joe Biden. The bit included a tweet from failed GOP presidential nominee Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who suggested that \u201cthere\u2019s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLet me get this straight,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThe same people who think that Joe Biden has dementia and needs [Vice President] Kamala Harris to feed him butterscotch tapioca every night also believe that he has somehow planned and executed a diabolically brilliant scheme to fix the NFL playoffs so the biggest pop star in the world could pop up on the JumbTron during the Super Bowl in between a Kia and a Tostitos commercial to hypnotize her 11-year-old fans into voting for Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel then ran a series of Fox News, Newsmax and OAN clips from the network\u2019s talking heads begging Swift to \u201cnot get involved\u201d in politics, suggesting the whole relationship is a \u201cmassive psyop [psychological operation]\u201d and, most outrageously, that her music is a form of \u201cwitchcraft\u201d and that \u201cthe devil owns her [Swift\u2019s] soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe late night host and frequent Trump teaser wasn\u2019t the only one getting in on the action. CNN\u2019s Dana Bash could hardly contain her laughter during Tuesday\u2019s \u201cInside Politics<\/a>\u201d while reading some of the more outrageous theories claiming Swift is a secret Democratic party operative. \u201cGod forbid there\u2019s an incredibly powerful woman who tends to just do things the way she wants to do them and she seems to like this football player,\u201d Bash responded to a clip of Fox talker Jesse Watters\u2019 recent false claim that Swift is a \u201cPentagon asset.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump even seemed to get on the Taylor-bashing train, with Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> reporting this week that unnamed sources said the four-times-indicted former reality TV host has been telling people in his inner circle that he is \u201cmore popular\u201d than Swift and that he has more committed fans than she does.<\/p>\n
