Taylor Swift did it!

While there are plenty of things the 34-year-old singer deserves credit for — like her "Eras Tour" being the first one to gross over $1 billion or recently breaking a chart record held by Elvis Presley — there are so many conspiracy theories being spun with her perfect red-lipped mug at the center.

Between that world tour, her exhausting workouts for it, releasing her blockbuster concert film, rerecording albums, being in a long-distance relationship, supporting her female friends, being a cat mom and attending awards shows, we're not sure how she'd have the time to conspire with the government or write a spy novel that's being turned into a major motion picture. Those are some of the working theories circulating on the internet.

So grab some aluminum foil from your kitchen, wrap it around your head real quick and go deep with us into the latest Swiftiracy theories...

Theory: Swift is a Pentagon asset being used to influence public opinion

On Tuesday’s Jesse Watters Primetime, Watters asked if viewers wondered how Swift "blew up like this," referring to the pop star being among the most famous people in the world. While admitting he had "no evidence," he went on to say: "Around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset? A psy-op for combatting online misinformation." (A psy-op is a person who secretly participates in psychological operations — usually recruited by the government, military or the police — to influence the beliefs, emotions and behavior of the masses.)

Watters played a video clip of someone talking about Swift's influence saying, "Yeah, that’s real. The Pentagon's psy-op unit pitched NATO on turning Taylor Swift into an asset" to help the Biden administration.


Only the video was from an academic conference on misinformation, organized by NATO, in 2019. The woman speaking — Alicia Marie Bargar — was not a Pentagon employee or connected to NATO but a data engineer at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Bargar told Business Insider her comments were taken out of context. She was discussing cybersecurity challenges and used Swift as "an incidental example of a famous person to explain a social network analysis concept to the audience."

A Pentagon spokesperson has since issued a statement via Politico, saying, in part, "As for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off," a nod to the hook from one of the star's songs.

Theory: Swift is being used to interfere in the 2024 election

The Fox News theory didn't come out of thin air. On the heels of the midterm elections, right-wing commentators blamed Swift for key losses for Republicans.

While Swift didn't endorse anyone this election, the singer — who publicly support Biden in 2020 — reminded her followers to vote. Far-right personality Jack Posobiec said Swift was "influencing an army of voters." He wrote it was "THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK" that was "CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX."

After Swift was named Time's 2023 Person of the Year in December, there was more of the same from conservative personalities who suggested she's part of a big election ploy. Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller said Swift's stardom "is not organic." Far-right activist Laura Loomer said Swift is who "Democrats are counting on to interfere in the 2024 Presidential election." The account @EndWokeness also posted a widely recirculated tweet: "If you don’t think the regime has plans to weaponize her just in time for 2024, you clearly have not been paying attention."

Wired did a deep dive into the topic.

For what it's worth, Swift has helped boost voter registration through her long-running partnership with Vote.org.

Theory: Swift secretly wrote the new thriller 'Argylle'

The spy novel, which is the basis of the upcoming Matthew Vaughn-directed action film of the same name, came out this week from first-time author Elly Conway. There's been so much speculation about Conway's identity — after all, a three-film series starring Bryce Dallas Howard (as Elly Conway) and Henry Cavill (as Argylle) was in the works for years before the book was even released. People have questioned how there's very little info out there about Conway. The author's first post on her Instagram account was on Dec. 13, 2022. Fans know Dec. 13 is Swift's birthday.

That speculation about Elly Conway shifted to be Swift-centric after the film's trailer dropped in September. Howard's Conway character has a Scottish Fold breed cat that she transports in a cat backpack ... just like cat owner Swift. Then there's Swift’s 2021 short film All Too Well, which centered on a redheaded writer — like Howard's character. And doesn't "Elly Conway" sound like a name Swift may come up with? Swifties came up with many theories.


A Washington Post writer debunked the Swiftie speculation, suggesting the book is a movie marketing tie-in commissioned by Vaughn's production team ahead of the film's Feb. 2 release. Seems more plausible than Swift writing it on breaks from her three-hour concert sets and three-hour workouts.

Theory: 'Argylle' wasn't the only book people speculated that Swift wrote

In May 2023, there was chatter that the 34-year-old had written a memoir that was going to be published on July 9. It has the right numerology and everything, with that date being mentioned in her song "Last Kiss." Alas, no book, but fans did get Speak Now (Taylor's Version) two days before. Her albums are all mini-memoirs, after all.

Theory: Swift is trying to help the Eagles by dating Travis Kelce

There are many theories about Swift dating Kelce — something you may have heard about, especially if you are a Dad, Brad or Chad — and it somehow being a fake romance. One swirling football fan theory was that by dating the Kansas City Chiefs player, she was hoping to distract him from the game and him throwing the season for his team. So ... why would she do that?

Apparently, it was so that the Pennsylvania native's team, the Philadelphia Eagles, had a better shot at the Super Bowl. Again, totally out there, especially when she wasn't even a football fan before, but that's one of many.

Theory: Swift is secretly queer

You probably saw the recent New York Times opinion piece speculating as much, which her team called "invasive, untrue and inappropriate." But Swift stans have been laying out "clues" supporting that theory for years. (She's not alone there, however. Speculating about a star's sexuality has kinda always been a thing, and perhaps a thing we should retire?)

Just a final note — a factor surely playing into all the theories around Swift is that she loves throwing clues for her fans to piece together. Does her dress color — like this green one — mean something, like a Reputation (Taylor's Version) rerelease? There's Swift numerology and how she ties projects and announcements to certain dates (see: the number 13). There are all the Easter eggs in her lyrics and liner notes.

Having fun guessing if there are other meanings to Swift's actions has become a sport to many. But being a Pentagon asset takes it to another, totally out-there level.

she is cia asset

She just shows how sad a lot of people are.....I legit know a fully grown woman in her late 20's who missed her (now-ex) fiancés dads funeral to fly to another city to go to her concert.

She or her team are marketing geniuses.

she's not hot but get's me on full stand every time.

So they paid her to bang an nfl quarterback for psyop when she already made 1b from eras tour?

He’s a tight end but I’d rather have Tom Brady or Jimmy Garappollo.

It's trendy for women celebs to be bisexual these days, so that wouldn't suprise me.

when will she marry?

do u think she has a shaved and clean ass and pussy 247

They have more than just money to manipulate people.


They offered bill gates little children for example. He already had all the money.

Aint nobody got time to read all that


Cliffs?

I swear she smells clean and fresh

Everything is a conspiracy nowadays

She's banged every dude in Hollywood.

She's gotta be a CIA asset or someone would have leaked iCloud nudes by now.

lol at ever conservative in this article is labelled as “far right”

Great “journalism”

I’ve personally turned two sloots into lezbos , so that’s probably not a stretch .
She may sway a lot of younger people to vote blue , I don’t think that’s exaggerated either .

She needs to hurry up and do porn with lezbos and leak it on the internet.

Lol. Your posts always crack me up.

What’s interesting is the theory that she’s here to corrupt the 2024 election.

I mean where did she get these outrageous ticket sales out of the blue? I took daughter to see her a few years ago and we were near the stage and paid $250 each.

Now the nosebleed seats are $1,000???

My Dad said the left will do whatever it takes to stop Trump.

See TappingTheZen, people like my threads

There's likely something going on with her...it's not something I've given a lot of thought to though.

The NFL has been rigged long before Taylor Swift started going to football games.

She's probably the best female singer now though....but it's not saying much because female singers nowadays are total garbage.

Men I know IRL are so annoyed that Chiefs games are turning into Taylor Swift shows lol.

I thought those guys were true competitors and wouldn’t lose on purpose until I saw Sam Darnold look like he threw the ball to cause a fumble in the Niners Rams game.

Then Xtrainer Ben said in the sports sub forum that it’s almost like he was told to do that for Vegas.

Hmmmmm fishy

if she wasn't the most popular current media figure, someone else would be. thats why the government created and put her (who they control) in that position deliberately, to prevent someone else from having that position of influence. they couldn't risk having someone anti establishment blow up and turn public perception against their narrative. swift has a monopoly on npc attention

Good point. Feminists love her because she is a successful woman who doesn’t have to resort to degenerative clothing. She’s very wholesome.

I know the other moms and I wanted to take our daughters to see Taylor Swift over Miley Cyrus! She’s a mom’s nightmare.

I wonder how much the NFL had to pay to get her to attend like a dozen games this season.

Look at that playoff game last night. In KC if all god forsaken places.

Now do the math. Certainly those seats were sold out plus the hotel rooms. She had to have a suite or penthouse or something so where was that at? They had them available right before the playoff game? Seems they would sell those out a long time ago.

Now add in her entourage, lawyers, agents security who also need rooms. Thats like a dozen fancy rooms.

Are they trying to tell us they had a dozen rooms available for her group at the same property during a huge event like this? Seems highly unlikely unless they had the rooms booked months in advance. Think of all the stuff that would be required to move a star of that magnitude around.

Its clearly a set up by the NFL.

It was SO cold there last night that KC Coach Andy Reid's mustache froze with icicles!!!!!!

You have really good points that her entourage would have had to have them.

Now I'm trying to remember since I'm a Niners fan and know some season ticket holders if the playoff games are sold far in advance or not? I don't think they are because you never know if the team is going to the playoffs or not. I vaguely remember seeing a message in my 49er app that the playoff tickets were on sale now or something.

But still, what if they "broke up" during that time? And ten what about all of the hotel rooms like you said?

I know you're playing dumb by interpreting what I said in a positive manner. I was talking more about how the government uses her position of influence to validate bullshyt ideologies like "climate change", anti-Russia propaganda about ukraine, or her anti-Trump position. expect her to play a key role in promoting anti-Trump rhetoric as we get closer to election date.

I wouldn't know this since I don't have any proof.

I'm not a fan of her music but the whole Travis Kelce thing is odd.
