Taylor Swift must be riding a carousel of emotions right now. She’s in a highly publicized love affair with Travis Kelce, she’s riding a wave of popularity after stratospheric successes from touring and album sales, and she’s being hailed as a savvy businesswoman operating in rarified air, beyond Beyonce-esque.
And now Fox News and the rest of Earth 2 are losing their minds over the prospect of something they appear to be absolutely paranoid about—that the fix is in for KC to win the Super Bowl, which will in turn provide Swift a platform for dropping some big announcement that will enhance Joe Biden’s chances in November.
This commentary would be hilarious, pants-on-fire stuff if it weren’t coming from the usual suspects who behave this way, to varying degrees, all the time. Their MO is apparent—simply start saying sensational stuff and fan the flames, double down, report it like it’s news, like something verifiable and real. Then hope people start believing it.
Of course, Swift needs to play this coolly, because if she lets all this attention go to her head and does indeed decide to play some overt political role, the alternate universe will unleash an unholy retribution campaign and go after her relentlessly (sounds like that’s what they’re gonna do anyway). Then, what already promises to be an unbearably ugly election season will morph into a juggernaut of mudslinging misery, and we’ll all be begging for it to stop.
And, unless Travis is truly committed, Taylor might end up alone again, with material for her next unlucky-in-love mega hit.
