However, the potential threat is much more serious.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, this is the man who sicced his followers on Congress itself in an attempt to usurp the 2020 election results. The man behind the most horrific attack on the federal government since 9\/11 could easily do the same terrorism-by-proxy attack against a pop star.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Swift at the 2024 Grammy Awards, accepting one of her many awards.\" class=\"wp-image-500677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Swift at the 2024 Grammy Awards, accepting one of her many awards.\" class=\"wp-image-500677 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 20px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.thehollywoodgossip.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0524_taylorswift_06-scaled.jpg\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taylor Swift accepts the Album Of The Year award for \u00e2\u0080\u009cMidnights\u00e2\u0080\u009d onstage during the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024.<span class=\"image-caption-credit\"> (Photo Credit: Monica Schipper\/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All that it would take would be for <em>one <\/em>of the indicted former occupant of the Oval Office\u2019s supporters to believe that he\u2019s on a \u201cmission\u201d to eliminate Taylor Swift.
