The NFL has every reason in the world to love Taylor Swift so we’re happy to see the league release a “Best Of” video from Super Bowl LVIII.
Article Summary
- NFL releases a ‘Best Of’ Taylor Swift video from Super Bowl LVIII.
- Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl presence branded a crossover success.
- Joe Biden mocks MAGA conspiracies post-Chiefs’ win with “Dark Brandon”.
- Donald Trump claims credit for Taylor Swift’s success via legislation.
Setting aside how we’re pretty sure that Donald Trump and his MAGA followers are angrily & tearfully coming up with conspiracy theories as to why things didn’t go the way they wanted them to, it appears that there is no such thing as a Taylor Swift “curse.” “Shocking,” right? With TE Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs walking away with the hardware, that means that the NFL season has officially come to an end. But before we begin shifting a way-too-early spotlight on next season, the NFL – and your friends at Bleeding Cool – thought it would be a great idea to pass along the best Swift highlights from Super Bowl LVIII. Why? For two reasons – first, because we know it pisses off some of you who still think the Super Bowl is more about football than the pop culture stuff. But beyond that, Swift is a great example of how things can work – and work well – when sports and the rest of pop culture meet at a crossroads. The NFL could use a lot more “Taylor Swift” during the regular season… and we’re not just talking ratings & merchandising sales. We’re talking about the way Swift has brought a strong demographic to the game that the NFL has been fumbling over for years to try to attract to the game.
Joe Biden Mocks Taylor Swift Conspiracy After Chiefs’ Super Bowl Win
With the Kansas City Chiefs walking away with the title, that meant that a lot of folks that Trump and the MAGA pool don’t like seeing get a lot of attention got a lot of attention. But if they can take any silver lining out of the night, it’s that Kelce didn’t propose to Swifts – followed by both of them endorsing President Joe Biden on live television. Seriously. That was a concern. In fact, a lot of tinfoil hat folks have been running with a whole lot of whackjob conspiracy theories – from Swift being a part of a Pentagon psyop program to Swift & Kelce being pawns in a larger conspiracy being run by Biden, the NFL, and the mainstream media to rig Super Bowl LVIII to give Swift & Kelce a larger spotlight for the pro-Biden announcement. Again, we’re not joking.
But Biden’s social media account decided to have a little fun with the whole thing, posting an image of Biden in his “Dark Brandon” persona with the message, “Just like we drew it up.”
Taking to the social media equivalent of tying a note to a rock and throwing it through a window earlier today, Trump tried to make the case that Swift should support him over Biden because of all of the things Trump claims he did during his term to help her out. “I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists,” Trump allegedly wrote in his post, noting a 2018 law that he signed that updated copyright law for music streaming. “Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.” Trump even tried to play nice by complimenting Kelce – though even Trump’s wise enough to see that the feeling probably isn’t mutual. “I like her boyfriend, Travis [Kelce], even though he may be a Liberal and probably can’t stand me,” he added.
