The Pentagon has dismissed claims that Taylor Swift is a ‘psyop’ working with the Biden administration.
The federal agency has now pushed back at the outlandish claims raised by Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Tuesday.
Watters aired a bizarre conspiracy theory popular among right-wing commentators that Taylor Swift’s meteoric rise is a government operation to encourage young people to vote Democrat.
Swift was mentioned in a 2019 NATO conference presentation as an example of a star with enough influence to theoretically help the government push a message, although not claiming that she had been.
The singer has taken a more political stance in recent years, releasing a song in support of the LGBTQ community and detailing her struggle with remaining silent in the face of big issues in a documentary about her life.
The Pentagon has slapped down the comments with a tongue-in-cheek remark paying homage to the 12-time Grammy winner’s catalogue.
‘As for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off,’ Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told Politico, referring to Swift’s hit.
‘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,’ she added in another nod to the popstar’s hits.
She also told Congress ‘I Wish You Would’ grant the administration its supplemental budget request.
On Tuesday night Watters put the conspiracy theory into the mainstream, despite admitting he ‘obviously has no evidence.’
‘Have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?’ he asked, implying the government orchestrated Swift becoming the biggest celebrity of 2023 so she could be used as a covert Democratic Party agent.
‘Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.
‘What kind of asset? A psyop for combatting online misinformation.
