Taylor Swift Psyops
Manage episode 435511355 series 3586930
How did Taylor Swift’s pop superstardom become fodder for far-right political conspiracy theories? Grab your red string and follow along the conflicting narratives that first (baselessly) claimed her as a covert Nazi and more recently, a left-wing Super Bowl psyop with Travis Kelce. Swiftie sociologist Brian Donovan unravels why her celebrity makes her a prime target in culture war politics and how it compares to the Easter egg hunts she creates for the fandom. Then, media psychologist Leah Dajches takes on the stigmatization of Gaylor Swifties, challenging the idea that they’re just unhinged conspiracy theorists.
