US President Joe Biden sent a message to right-wing conspiracy theorists, dismayed that he rigged the Super Bowl in favor of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.

Shortly after the Super Bowl ended on Sunday, Biden gleefully mocked those who accused him and Democrats of running a “Taylor Swift-assisted psychological operation to interfere in the election,” Gizmodo reported. According to the theory, Biden orchestrated the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs, featuring Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, in exchange for her support in the election.
“Exactly as we drew,” the president’s official account on the social network X (Twitter) reported. The message included an image of a laser-eyed Biden, known online as “Dark Brandon,” a meme meant to depict the president’s more sinister alter ego.

The post builds on a video released by the Biden campaign in which he is directly asked if he plans to “fake the season so the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.”
I’ll get in trouble if I tell you.

In recent weeks, right-wing influencers have been pushing the “Biden-rigged Super Bowl” conspiracy theory in full force, including former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Other right-wing figures like Rogan O’Handley have warned of imminent doom if the Chiefs win, as if it were necessary for Biden to start World War III after winning the election.
Swift has not announced who she will endorse in this year’s presidential election — or even said whether she will make her choice public — but an endorsement of Biden is a possibility. The pop star endorsed Biden in 2020 by posting a selfie with her own Biden-Harris cookie and has previously criticized Trump for his handling of the covid-19 pandemic.
