Support for Taylor Swift get-out-the-vote efforts falls after Super Bowl conspiracy theory

More than half of voters in a new survey say they support pop star Taylor Swift’s get-out-the-vote effort to push her fans to vote in this year’s election, but the number is down 15 points from February following a conspiracy theory surrounding the idea of a rigged Super Bowl.

The newly released Monmouth University poll found 53 percent of voters approve of Swift’s push to get her fans to vote, with 35 percent saying they disapprove. Twelve percent said they didn’t know.

After the debate between former President Trump and Vice President Harris last week, Swift endorsed Harris.

Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and attended the team’s Super Bowl game against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. At the time, a conspiracy theory was floated that the game could be rigged for the Chiefs to ensure maximum exposure for a Swift endorsement of President Biden.

There was no evidence of such a plot, and there was no endorsement at that time from Swift.

But Monmouth noted support for Swift’s efforts has dropped significantly since the conspiracy theory.

“Interestingly, support for the singer’s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts were much higher seven months ago, when she was the subject of a debunked conspiracy theory around the election and the Super Bowl,” Monmouth wrote in a press release.
