CNN’s Jake Tapper Asks Trump Rival Haley About ‘MAGA World Obsession’ With Bonkers Taylor Swift Conspiracies

CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked ex-Amb. Nikki Haley about former President Donald Trump’s fans obsessing over Taylor Swift’s plot to rig the Superbowl for President Joe Biden.

The angst over Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has sparked bizarre accusations that Swift and the National Football League have colluded to install President Joe Biden for a second term by rigging the outcome of the Super Bowl in order to engineer a Swift-Travis Kelce Uber-endorsement.

On Thursday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, Tapper interviewed Haley on a variety of subjects, but concluded by getting her take on the foolishness:

TAPPER: Lastly, I want to turn to a rather odd subject. It’s this preoccupation with conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, that MAGA-world seems rather obsessed with — with this week.

Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted, quote, I wonder who’s going to win the super bowl next month, and I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped up couple this fall, just some wild speculation over here. Let’s see how it ages over the next eight months, unquote.

Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, reposted a meme on her Instagram that says who thinks this country needs a lot more women like Alina Habba and a lot less like Taylor Swift. The Trump campaign has actually commented on this and indulged this thing.

What do you make of it?

HALEY: I don’t. I mean, I don’t. I’m not going to lie. I don’t know what the obsession is.

Taylor Swift is allowed to have a boyfriend. Taylor Swift is a good artist. I’ve taken my daughter to Taylor Swift concerts before.

You know, to have a conspiracy theory of all of this is bizarre. Nobody knows who she is going to endorse, but I can’t believe that that’s overtaken our national politics.

I mean, right now, you’ve got 60 percent of American families living paycheck to paycheck. We’ve got a border that’s out of control. We’ve got wars happening around the world.

The last thing I really think we need to be worried about is who Taylor Swift does dating and what conspiracy theory is going to have her endorsing a person for president.

TAPPER: Former South Carolina governor and 2024 presidential candidate, Nikki Haley. Thanks so much. Have fun on the campaign trail.
