Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) hailed pop music superstar Taylor Swift amid criticism she is facing from conservatives Wednesday.
“Taylor Swift is a national treasure,” Cheney wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The conservative side of social media has been flooded with conspiracy theories about the singer, and the speculation that the NFL is fixing games so that Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, can go to the Super Bowl and win it, and endorse President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign while at the championship football game.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote on X Monday.
Yeah, I have nothing against her. I think if I sat down and talked to her, we’d be on a fairly similar ground politically. I’m far from “Swifty” status, but my daughter is full fledged Swifty, so I end up hearing a lot of her music. Her lyrics definitely reflect a lot of hatred coming her way, but she dodges it gracefully. It’s pretty inspiring.
