I guess my tinfoil lid is just a little too tight, as I find it odd that some on the right (the Babylon Bee & Ben Shapiro) are taking pains to strawman and mock the conspiracy theories about Taylor Swift & her boyfriend. It's probably the tamest and most believable conspiracy theory I can think of, but they seem to be purposely exaggerating it into some years-long narrative, with conspirators creating two celebrities, ex nihilo, just to sell vaccines or win an election (depending on which version of the theory we're talking about). Huh?
This is hardly the first time people have wondered if a celebrity relationship was really just a business arrangement, or that celebrities have been accused of doing what's politically expedient. So why all the fuss?
