Megyn Kelly criticized conservatives for worrying that Taylor Swift would influence the 2024 presidential election by endorsing Joe Biden but acknowledging she’s ‘sick of’ her and boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Kelly has previously slammed Swift for her refusal to laugh at a joke aimed toward her at the Golden Globes and for attending a comedy show that benefitted pro-Palestinian charities. However, recent reports that the Biden campaign has a nod from the singer at the top of their endorsement list for 2024 has led some conservatives to believe she will brainwash Americans into voting Democrat.

Kelly scoffed at it as a conspiracy theory and noted that ‘people on the right who I like and respect are pushing this.’ ‘I don’t know why people are so afraid of her. She does have power, she does have influence, she’s told people to go vote and something like 35,000 of them did. But registering to vote is not the same as actually voting,’ she said on The Megyn Kelly Show.

She noted that other celebrities, like George Clooney, have pushed for candidates in the past and been unsuccessful. Kelly did admit that Swift was likely to lean left in 2024 – as she did publicly in 2020 – as would her Pfizer and Bud Light pitchman boyfriend Kelce, but that it didn’t matter.

‘Why are people living in fear of this?’ she wondered, noting that she ‘doesn’t happy to be one of’ the ‘vast majority of people’ who find Swift interesting, again criticizing her for attending the comedy show that raised money for Palestine. However, she felt that it was likely if Swift publicly endorsed the Democrat Biden it would lead to the end of a celebrity cycle in America where ‘we choose somebody, we build them up, then we crush them.’

‘If she’s smart, she will stay nonpolitical, which is better for her. She will not be the most popular person in America if she continues to antagonize half the country that votes Republican, but whatever,’ she said. Her guests, conservative commentator Glenn Beck and Britt Mayer, agreed that the idea of Swift as a conspiracy was crazy.

Conservative influencer Benny Johnson called the mass coverage of Swift – arguably the biggest pop star on earth – ‘an op’ that was ‘all fake’ and said Americans are ‘being played. Jack Posobiec also endorsed the theory in a recent speech, according to Semafor.
