One in five Republicans believe Taylor Swift is a political operative.

A new poll finds that one in five Republicans believe Taylor Swift is a left-wing political activist.

Sports statistics database Oddspedia surveyed 3,000 people across the United States about their beliefs about conspiracy theories ahead of the 2024 general election in November.

The survey found that Republicans (35%) are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories than Democrats (14%) and Independents (20%), and that residents of Florida, California, Texas, Alabama and New York are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories than other states.

The site also found that the most popular conspiracy theories revolved around governments, health manipulation (such as anti-vaccine conspiracy theories), and the belief that secret societies influence world politics.

Ninety percent of respondents said conspiracy theories can influence public perception of political candidates, and 21% of Republicans (roughly one in five) are convinced that Taylor Swift is a political operative. In contrast, 5% of Democrats suspect the Grammy Award winner of secretly plotting for the government.

The conspiracy theory began circulating online in February, when the Kansas City Chiefs headed to Las Vegas for Super Bowl 53. Swift began dating the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce, in July 2023.

The pair went public with their relationship in September and their romance has dominated social media feeds and TV screens, with the 34-year-old singer becoming a regular attendee at Chiefs games and the NFL noting an increase in female viewership as a result.

The pop star has voted Democratic in the past (supporting Joe Biden in 2020) and Kelsey has a partnership with pharmaceutical brand Pfizer, which led to unfounded claims that their romance was a hoax to convince fans to vote for Biden.

Swift has demonstrated her political influence in the past: In September, the “Lover” singer urged her millions of Instagram followers to register to vote, directing them to the nonpartisan registration site Vote.org.

Immediately after Swift’s post, the number of subscribers to the site skyrocketed, with more than 35,000 new people signing up in one day.

Many conspiracy theorists have also suggested that the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win was a ploy to lure voters to the left. Even Biden joked about the rumor on Twitter after the Chiefs’ 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

“That’s how we painted him,” the president said, sharing a “Dark Brandon” meme, an online trend that involved editing photos of the 81-year-old Brandon to make him look scarier, including adding laser eyes.

Despite the lack of evidence, Oddspedia found that 83 percent of Americans believe that conspiracy theories influence public opinion when it comes to politics, and 70 percent of respondents feel that Facebook and X/Twitter are the biggest platforms for spreading misinformation.

The findings support the idea that conspiracy theories are especially prevalent on X. The social network, formerly known as Twitter, was acquired by Elon Musk in 2022.

The 2023 European Union Code of Conduct report on disinformation suggested Facebook was the biggest source of fake news, but also called on Google, Meta/Facebook, TikTok and Microsoft to step up their efforts to combat disinformation.
