Right-wing critics have used Taylor Swift’s growing connection with Travis Kelce, a top player for the Kansas City Chiefs, as proof that there is a scheme to rig the Super Bowl in order to help US President Joe Biden win reelection.

As the last countdown to this week’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas began on Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell dismissed conspiracy theories regarding Taylor Swift as “nonsense.” Right-wing opponents of pop diva Swift have pointed to their developing affair with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs as proof that there is a scheme to rig the Super Bowl in order to help US President Joe Biden win reelection.
In a recent debate, Fox News posed the question, “Is Taylor Swift a Pentagon asset?” in reference to the odd speculations that have characterized Kelce and Swift’s connection as a deep-state psychological operation intended to sway this year’s presidential race in favor of Biden.
Meanwhile, pro-Donald Trump TV personality Mike Crispi recently said, “EVERYONE knows Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are fake and the Super Bowl is rigged.” If you DON’T believe it at this point, you’re a crazy person.
However, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was not having any of it when he spoke to media on Monday in the bowels of Allegiant Stadium in advance of the Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Regarding the conspiracy claims, Goodell stated, “Anyone in society in a public position is subject to criticism.”
However, Goodell remarked, “I think it’s just nonsense to think that this is within a script, that this is pre-planned.” “To be honest, it’s not even worth discussing.”
