Only Fox News, and by extension US republicans, could view Taylor Swift's "get out the vote" campaign as a conspiracy / PsyOp.

Still it's consistent with the American forefathers, who of course had a number of slave owners. Benjamin Franklin was concerned the Anglo-Saxon whiteness of the colonies would be contaminated by “swarthy” races such as the French and Swedes. In a tiny rebuttal, Benjamin Franklin did say "all cats look the same in the dark."

The Hill: Pentagon pushes back on Taylor Swift conspiracy theory: ‘We are going to shake it off’

The Department of Defense clapped back at Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday after he said Taylor Swift could be a “psyop” for the Pentagon.

“I wonder who got to her from the White House or wherever,” Watters said on his show Tuesday night. “Who makes that initial handshake.”

Waters was referencing a partnership between Swift and Vote.org intended to encourage young people to register to vote.

The remark spawned conspiracy theories suggesting Swift could be a government asset or part of a broader information campaign.

Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh shut down the speculation Wednesday in a statement to Politico.

“As for this conspiracy theory, we are going to shake it off,” she said, a tongue-in-cheek reference to one of the pop star’s hits.

“But that does highlight that we still need Congress to approve our supplemental budget request as Swift-ly as possible so we can be out of the woods with potential fiscal concerns,” she continued, adding more references to Swift hits.
