I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere (granted, I haven’t read all the comments in all the stories), so I thought I’d throw this out here.
The Taylor Swift / KC Chiefs conspiracy theory falls apart for one simple reason: There’s no purpose.
Okay, let’s play along.
Suppose that a team that made it to the Super Bowl 3 out of the 4 past years needs some help getting there a fourth time. [That’s already a big IF.]
Suppose that during halftime, Taylor Swift is invited onto the field. [Funny, I don’t recall any previous Super Bowls where the NFL picked a spectator and let them on the field. But let’s continue anyway.]
And suppose she says, “Everyone needs to vote for Joe Biden in November!”
That’s the conspiracy (unless something’s changed in the past few hours).
My question is: Now what?
Pretty much everyone has made up their minds about Biden vs. Trump. A celebrity isn’t going to change their minds.
Okay, but what if she’s using hypnosis to brainwash the Super Bowl viewers?
Well, why does Taylor Swift need to be there? Why not use one of the announcers instead? Or the actual halftime act? Or even put a miniature device in the down markers, which are visible during the entire game?
Or even if the purpose is financial, she doesn’t need to be there.
Either I’ve missed something, or these people have latched on to a no-brainer.
