Trump is coming for Taylor Swift? With her legions of devoted fans. Mkay.

Bold move. Who is he going to come for next? The mob? Beyonce?

They're going after the NFL too, which also has legions of fans, by claiming the Super Bowl is rigged and deciding to root for the 49ers over the Kansas City Chiefs, a team in a city that they consider the heartland of America. Yes, they are rooting for a team from a city* that they have described as a crime-ridden hellscape (I live here, it's not) for who knows how long. I very much doubt this irony has occurred to any of them.

*I know they actually play in Santa Clara now but they are still the San Francisco 49ers

"Taylor Swift, of course, also a psy-op for the NFL wives out there, all the moms who are, like, just not really watching the games but maybe watching because of Taylor Swift. And then they tell their husbands, well, you better not vote against Trump. Because Taylor told me not to you and I saw her at the NFL game, you wouldn't want to cross your favorite team, would you?"

WTF does any of this word salad even mean

Maybe I'm missing something, but has Taylor Swift given any indication that she might endorse Biden or get involved in the election in any way, or this another one of those things were conservatives make up a scenario in their head out of whole cloth and then proceed to shit their pants over it?

I think what she's going to do is not endorse "Joe Biden" by name, but tell her flock, "I think that we should be voting for somebody who cares about saving the planet, and about poor people, and about women's reproductive rights, and about protecting our borders without massacres, and about Ukraine..."

“the guy that they want her to endorse is a kind of stumbling, bumbling mess, doesn’t have the energy to give a 30 minute speech, let alone perform a three hour concert like she does? He also is kind of very creepy. She may want to check out those creepy videos, they’re online.” I assume this refers to trump. And we have all seen the creepy videos and heard the disgusting shit that pours from his pursed lips.

I couldn't pick Ms Swift out of a lineup (Visually or auditorially) but I salute anyone who can give these fascists the vapors.

I'm not super familiar with Taylor's music, but I think she writes a lot of songs about what disappointing losers her boyfriends have been, which surely contributes to her popularity--and the rage it provokes in pathetic jagoffs like Jesse Watters.

My young friends have been educating me. "Yeah, mansplain to the young women about what music should be relevant to them. Watched this today & the first song made me cheer & the last 2 songs made me cry & I'm 74." -Katie

That'll take you to a TinyDeskConcert by Taylor Swift.

There's something really wholesome about seeing Taylor and Travis together. I think Padraic Smithies is right--they look like the high school cheerleader and captain of the football team, but their reality is much more complex--at least for Taylor. They look all-American. They're co-opting the conservative paradigm of the perfect American couple. And yes, they're the cool kids and those right-wing losers can't handle that.

There's a good chance all their dreams will come true if the Chiefs win the SB.

While the playoffs are always amazing games, the Super Bowl always turned out to be a dud. One team runs away with it 42-6.

If it's the Chiefs, they will get to scream and wail and gnash their teeth and rend their garments and yell, "RIGGED! and STOLLEN!", and we get to sit back and laugh.
