Is Taylor Swift a Government Experiment?
The suspicion about Taylor Swift was aired on Fox News. Host Jesse Watters, on his program "Jesse Watters Primetime," suggested that the artist is a puppet of the Pentagon's psychological operations, intending to use Taylor's fanbase to rally support for President Joe Biden. Watters questioned, "Is Swift fronting for a covert political agenda?" He answered, "Of course, we don't have any concrete evidence - if we did, we would share it. But our curiosity remains."
Watters theorizes that Swift's fame is a product of her collaboration with the government. The sudden surge in her popularity is allegedly linked to the Pentagon's supposed plan to use Taylor as a persuasive tool in NATO meetings.
Pentagon's Response
The response to Jesse Watters' speculation was swift. The United States Department of Defense spokeswoman, Sabrina Singh, addressed Watters' claim during a press conference. In her response, Singh cleverly incorporated some of Taylor Swift's song titles. She said, "For this conspiracy theory, we're simply going to shake it off (a reference to a Taylor Swift song - editor's note). However, it does highlight the importance of Congress approving our additional budget request as swiftly (Taylor Swift pun intended) as possible so we can get out of the woods (another reference to a Taylor Swift song - editor's note), regarding potential financial difficulties."
