I don’t follow sports nor care enough about pop music to really know what was going on. I truly though she would be performing with the sheer amount of press on the matter even here. What the hell did Republicans think she was going to do inside a luxury box other than have weirdos snap photos of her drinking beer?

    Most of us didn’t. Some did because she’s a famous pop star dating one of the star players on the KC team. There was also a right wing conspiracy theory that the game was going to be rigged for KC to win so that Swift could somehow get more support for Biden. I didn’t quite understand how that was supposed to work, but it seemed to get more credence than you’d suspect.

      The idea was that Biden was rigging the game and then Kelce would propose to Swift after winning, who would funnel the insane amount of media hype into a Biden endorsement. Kelce wins the Super Bowl, Swift gets attention and a happy boyfriend, and Biden gets a big endorsement.

      They probably don’t know that they’ve been dating for less than a year.

        Seemed like there were a lot of variations. It was all:

        1. Superbowl rigged for Chiefs
        2. Something something
        3. Taylor Swift uses it to promote Biden

        Step 2 never seemed to make much sense, whatever it was

      @AFKBRBChocolate Rigging or no rigging, if she did endorse or support Biden or whatever, there are enough dumbasses out there that might see a KC win as some kind of Biden endorsement from on high.

      I put that down to projection as usual on the part of the GOPs conspiracy theory wing, though.
