Pentagon Labels Taylor Swift ‘Psy-op’ A ‘Conspiracy Theory’
(Steve Watson) A Pentagon spokesperson has labelled claims that Taylor Swift is being used as an “asset” as part of a psychological operation a “conspiracy theory.”
The notion has gained traction after Fox News host Jesse Watters highlighted it on his show, asking “why is Taylor Swift everywhere?”
Watters noted that the idea of using Taylor Swift, who has endorsed Joe Biden previously, to combat “online misinformation” was floated at a NATO meeting in 2019.
While he admitted he had “no evidence,” to back up the notion, the host further noted that previous big star celebrities have been used by the U.S. government in the past to push certain agendas.
Now Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has actually addressed the issue in remarks to Politico, albeit in pun form, stating “as for this conspiracy theory, we are going to Shake It Off.”
Singh added “But that does highlight that we still need Congress to approve our supplemental budget request as Swift-ly as possible so we can be Out Of The Woods with potential fiscal concerns.”
“I Wish You Would” she added.
Really though, why is Taylor Swift everywhere?
