CNN’s Abby Phillip questioned Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes about a new theory surrounding Taylor Swift. This theory attempts to pit Swift against conservatives in order to portray them negatively. Is this theory worth discussing? Definitely not, unless you work at CNN. Phillip spoke with Mahomes while he was celebrating at Disneyland after winning the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.
Mahomes gave a perfect response to shut down the NewsNight anchor who tried to mix politics with football. It wasn’t a moment of brilliance for Mahomes, but rather a straightforward answer to stump the CNN talking head.
Phillip, unaware of her own lack of self-awareness, brought up the wild conspiracy theories that claimed the Taylor Swift effect during the Super Bowl was scripted for political purposes. She failed to hit the mark with her investigative question. She also mentioned Biden’s involvement in the joke and asked Mahomes for his thoughts on how this situation has spiraled into various areas, including politics.
Mahomes replied, acknowledging the wild conspiracy theories but emphasizing his focus on football. He mentioned that he tries to stay away from social media as much as possible and focuses on enjoying football and spending time with his family.
It’s clear that those who excel in their field, like Mahomes, don’t allow politics to distract them. CNN should have asked more relevant questions, such as Travis Kelce’s disagreement with Andy Reid or the confusion surrounding overtime rules. However, as expected, CNN’s line of questioning is predictable and lacks depth.
While conservatives may not have appreciated the Taylor Swift talk throughout the year, individuals from all sides of the political spectrum spoke out against the Swift craze that dominated the NFL in 2023-24.
Does anyone truly care about Taylor Swift as much as CNN claims? Probably not. It was a passing trend that has now become outdated.
Here’s an interesting conspiracy about a conspiracy: CNN and the Democrats are using the ‘conservative conspiracy’ angle surrounding Taylor Swift to make their political opponents appear crazy. While Taylor may not be directly influencing votes for the Democrats, the party still hopes to benefit from the perceived ‘lunacy’ of the Right.
This self-made conspiracy is just another way to attack the opposing side.
