\n \u201c<\/span>\u201cI signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other musical artists. Joe Biden didn\u2019t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There\u2019s 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.\u201d\u201d<\/span>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s former President Donald Trump, who, hours before Super Bowl LVIII, was focused on superstar Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n Trump took to Truth Social, his preferred social-media platform, on Sunday afternoon, writing, \u201cThere\u2019s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden,\u201d instead of \u201cbe[ing] loyal\u201d to Trump, who he said was \u201cthe man who made her so much money.\u201d<\/p>\n For what it\u2019s worth, Swift made quite a bit of money before Trump entered the White House. In 2016, she was named one of Forbes\u2019 highest-paid celebrities. The outlet said that she raked in $170 million in that year alone<\/a>.

In short, the theory goes that various entities had been colluding with the National Football League to ensure the Kansas City Chiefs \u2014 the team for which Swift\u2019s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays \u2014 would win, setting up a platform for Swift to endorse President Joe Biden for re-election. That theory was swatted down by two Republicans on Sunday.<\/p>\n \u201cTaylor Swift is one of the great American success stories,\u201d former candidate Chris Christie said on \u201cMeet the Press\u201d Sunday<\/a>. \u201cWe should be celebrating her, not having all these crazy conspiracy theories. But this is the kind of thing that Donald Trump brings about.\u201d<\/p>\n Marco Rubio, a Republican senator from Florida, said he hoped \u201cwe can get rid of these conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift\u201d in his explanation<\/a> of why he was rooting for a San Francisco 49ers victory. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
