But should the president go on to win another term, a not-insignificant number of Americans will believe there was one reason and one reason alone for the victory: a secret government plot involving\u2014you guessed it<\/a>\u2014Taylor Swift.<\/strong><\/p>\n A Monmouth University poll<\/a> released on Wednesday shows that a disturbing percentage of Americans\u201418%\u2014believe \u201ca covert government effort for Taylor Swift to help Joe Biden win the presidential election actually exists.\u201d Eighteen percent!

Also, nearly three quarters (73%) of those who believe the Swift conspiracy also believe the 2020 election outcome was fraudulent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Unhinged conspiracy theories involving Swift and the 2024 election began circulating earlier this year, with one Fox News host notably declaring<\/a>, \u201cAround four years ago, the Pentagon\u2019s psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.\u201d In the run-up to the Super Bowl, right-wing conservatives claimed that, as part of the government plot, the game would be rigged<\/a> in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs.
