The Patriot Post® · Taylor Swift for Biden?
Is singer/songwriter Taylor Swift a government plot? Was she an industry plant waiting to pounce on unsuspecting Republicans and foil a presidential victory in 2024? The short answer is no. If one took two seconds to really think about it, all the freakout over Swift potentially endorsing Biden again and perhaps getting her “Swifties” to vote her way is a whole lot of nothing. It’s hardly news that celebrities endorse Democrats.
What is true about Taylor Swift? She is a Democrat, a feminist, and a billionaire who famously writes all her own music and takes all her inspiration from her life experiences. They always say, Write what you know. Well, sadly for Swift, what she has experienced over and over again is what many feminists experience. Men they date fall short of their expectations or hurt them, so they then go back to saying they don’t need men or marriage or motherhood.
These feminists are unserious women who continually choose unserious men. Swift is 34, but once she’s in her 40s, she may find that all her feminist ideals only succeeded in keeping her in a continuous cycle of relationships that don’t work out. Or, like other women less famous than herself, she may find out that sacrificing marriage and family to the god of a career is an empty consolation. Money and fame don’t buy happiness.
Back to her political endorsement record. She has made very few forays into candidate endorsements, though steeped as she is in the glitterati entertainment culture, she has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ activists and other leftist culture war issues. Her first outspoken endorsement was against pro-lifer Marsha Blackburn in 2018. Blackburn went on to win her U.S. Senate seat with a sound victory in Tennessee. Swift subsequently endorsed Biden in 2020. So, her record of backing candidates is 50/50.
As for endorsing Biden in 2024, perhaps she will again. She’s a Democrat, after all, and if there’s one thing perfectly obvious about leftists, it’s that they fall in line when the voting counts. Is she going to sway many voters? Stats seem to say she’ll influence just as many anti-Biden voters as pro-Biden voters, so it’s little better than a net-zero gain. Furthermore, the group she has the most influence with, according to Newsweek, is the younger demographic that is historically less likely to vote. For example, after endorsing Biden back in 2020 and encouraging her followers to vote, she only managed to get 35,000 of her millions of followers to do so. It’s interesting that Biden staffers are all in on riling up the suspicious Republicans by trolling with the Taylor Swift conspiracy theories.
Swift has been making headlines a lot this year. She was Time magazine’s “Person of the Year,” and she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (for which the NFL is eternally grateful, as it boosted viewership to record levels). Kelce and the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl and, after a less-than-spectacular first half, came back to win the game. Those who have completely bought into the Swift conspiracy theory presumed that this was going to be the outcome.
After the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory, Team Biden posted this meme to social media to jovially reinforce the theory that the Swift and Kelce relationship is all a part of their plan to win reelection.

The Democrats are definitely giving themselves more credit and brains than they actually have.
The bigger question is, why are all the leftist apparatuses (media, politics, and Hollywood) pushing Taylor Swift to the forefront? There are several good political reasons to distract the country with the glitz and glamour of the life of a very famous and well-admired celebrity such as Swift.
The southern border is a disaster, and the Democrats are finally having to face the fact that they pushed too far and may have already destabilized the country (though that may have been their plan all along). Biden’s foreign policy is a disaster. The American economy is in shambles, with almost everyone except the elite struggling to stretch their dollars to pay for basics. Finally, Biden’s senility was put front and center by his own Department of Justice and a disastrous press conference last week.
Swift isn’t a CIA plant. She’s a shiny object, a political tool to distract the American public away from the political disaster that is the Biden administration.
The real question is, now that the Super Bowl is over, how can Democrats keep Swift and Kelce in the news to distract from the rest of their clown show? If the pattern for both Swift and Kelce holds, a breakup is on the horizon. Perhaps it’ll be just in time for the release of Taylor’s new album in April.
