Taylor Swift conspiracy theory intensifies as shock poll reveals how many Americans believe in bizarre plot that she is helping Joe Biden win the 2024 presidential election

Nearly one in five Americans believe there’s a covert government effort for pop star Taylor Swift to help President Joe Biden win reelection, new polling shows.

The Monmouth University Poll put an online conspiracy theory to the test, finding nearly half of those surveyed – 46 percent – were aware of the bizarre plot – and 18 percent had fallen for it.

Last month, the idea that Swift was a ‘PsyOp’ to help Biden win became mainstreamed by conservative figures including Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters and failed GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

It’s no surprise, then, that most Americans who believe the conspiracy are right-leaning politically.

The survey found that 71 percent of believers identify with or lean toward the Republican Party and 83 percent said they planned to vote for former President Donald Trump in the November election.

Taylor Swift endorsed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2020 election over former President Donald Trump. Two years before she backed a Democratic Senate candidate in the Tennessee race against GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn

Almost three quarters, 73 percent, who said they believed in the Swift conspiracy theory also believe the 2020 election was stolen.

After losing to Biden, Trump pushed the so-called ‘big lie,’ falsely claiming widespread election fraud cost him a second term.

‘The supposed Taylor Swift PsyOp conspiracy theory has legs among a decent number of Trump supporters,’ Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said in a statement. ‘Even many who hadn’t heard about it before we polled them accept the idea as credible. Welcome to the 2024 election.’

Pollsters noted that 42 percent of those who indicated they believe in the Swift conspiracy theory had not heard of it before being contacted by Monmouth.

Swift has yet to endorse a candidate in the 2024 race, though publicly supported Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020.

She originally jumped into politics in 2018, backing Tennessee‘s Democratic Senate hopeful Phil Bredesen over Republican Marsha Blackburn.

Blackburn won the seat.

Former 2024 presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy pushed in late January that the Kansas City Chiefs were predestined to win the Super Bowl to give more star power to a Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce endorsement of President Joe Biden

In both cases, Swift’s public endorsement came near the end of the election cycle.

But with the election year in full swing, there was already rabid speculation of a Swift endorsement as early as January.

That’s when Watters’ segment on Swift being a ‘PsyOp’ aired.

It’s also when Ramaswamy suggested that the Kansas City Chiefs were predestined to win the Super Bowl, with Swift dating the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce.

‘I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall,’ Ramaswamy posted to X in late January. ‘Just come wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.’

Further mainstreaming the conspiracy theory, both Trump and Biden alluded to it surrounding the Super Bowl.

Ahead of Sunday’s big game, Trump, the Republican frontrunner, fumed about a potential Swift endorsement of his Democratic rival.

After the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win Sunday night, President Joe Biden’s campaign account posted a picture of ‘Dark Brandon,’ Biden’s sinister doppelganger saying, ‘just like we drew it up,’ alluding to the Taylor Swift-themed conspiracy theory

He wrote on Truth Social that ‘there’s no way’ Swift could endorse the current president, crediting himself fo making the pop star ‘so much money’ by signing the Music Modernization Act.

‘Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,’ Trump claimed.

When Swift’s boyfriend Kelce’s Chiefs won the game, beating the San Francisco 49ers in a dramatic overtime finish, the Biden campaign posted on X a visual of ‘Dark Brandon,’ the president’s sinister doppelganger.

‘Just like we drew it up,’ the post said.

On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was queried about Monmouth’s polling and asked if there were concerns about how many Americans believed the Swift-themed conspiracy theory.

Jean-Pierre answered ‘that’s for others to speak to’ but also pointed to the January 6 Capitol attack, noting how that occurred thanks to the crowd’s belief in a false story.

Overall, respondents supported Swift encouraging her fans – comprised mostly of young people – to vote.

Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed said they approved of the pop star encouraging people to vote in the upcoming presidential election, while 25 percent disapproved of her stepping foot into politics.
