Fox News Came Up With Such a Wild Taylor Swift Conspiracy – Even Pentagon Had to ‘Shake it Off’

Taylor Swift was caught up in a viral conspiracy theory when Fox News anchor Jesse Watters put forward an odd hypothesis just before the elections. As per Politico, Watters claimed that the iconic pop star could be “a front for a covert political agenda.” He continued to assert on his Jesse Watters Primetime show that “around four years ago, the Pentagon’s psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset.” He then played a video from a 2019 NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence conference, in which a speaker seemed to mention Swift just as an illustration of a strong influencer.
