The “Psyop Taylor Swift” conspiracy theory originated from conservative conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer in September 2023. Fringe conspiracy theorists have claimed that climate change and the 9/11 attacks are psychological operations used by the government to influence the US population. A psychological operation is a collection of related actions typically taken by a military force or spy agency to produce specific mental and emotional responses.
Conspiration theories that singer Taylor Swift is a government operative, a Pentagon asset, or a “psyop” (short for psychological operation) have gone from fringe to primetime news in January. A subculture is getting in on the act, with some GOP members conjuring alleged evidence that Swift is a deep-state psy-op. The prospect of Swift endorsing President Joe Biden a second time has sent some allies of former President Donald Trump down a conspiratorial path.
Conspiration shills have accused Swift of rigging the Super Bowl and the 2024 presidential election while secretly working as an asset for the Pentagon. Fox News host Jesse Watters speculated that Swift might be a Pentagon “psyop” — an asset used for psychological operations.
The Taylor Swift conspiracy theory goes back to one man in the 1950s: a military-intelligence expert in psychological warfare. Psychological operations (PSYOP) are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objectives.
The Department of Defense responded after Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested this week that pop star Taylor Swift could be “a front for a psyop”. The conspiracy theory highlights the growing tension between politics and fandom in online media, with the Department of Defense responding to allegations that Taylor Swift may be a front for a psyop.

One of the biggest mistakes politicians make is forgetting Democrats and Independents live in every Town, City, County, Parish, Commonwealth and State, and 279 Million are Taylor Swift Fans! 🌊 Tay-Tay has more sense decency, empathy, morality, awareness, integrity, maturity and humanity in her pinky fingernail than the entirety of the GOP, and she has more money and followers than Trump. A Minority thinks they speak for all Americans. 🤣 You think she only writes songs about ex-boyfriends? 🤪 🤯 Will Be Blown in November!
I love you Desi! 😂 You need to get your own show soon!! I really, really hope Trump doesn’t win. Even here in Sweden, we’re very worried about it since it will have a huge impact on the world but we’re not allowed to vote.. (obviously) As a streamer I talk about it a lot anyway since I have American audience and doing what I can. I hope it turns out well otherwise we have a couch here in Stockholm you’re welcome to sleep on if you jump the ship! 😉 Wishing you guys all the best with the election!
For this whole concept to work, every player, team owner, coach, stadium holder, and Taylor would have to be involved. Since this is being pressed on Fox, all of those people should have one massive joint lawsuit against Fox News, Newsmax, and any politician that is supporting this conspiracy theory for defamation. That money from the suit should also be pushed to go to the players that have gotten injuries on the field and have the lowest brand representation. They have a large wealth gap in comparison to other players. It would be great on so many levels.
“Imagine if lying was your job,” Tucker said, completely seriously. “Imagine forcing yourself to tell lies all day about everything in ways that were so transparent and so outlandish that there is no way that people listening to you could possibly believe anything you said. Then imagine doing that again and again and again every day of your professional life for your entire life.”
