Taylor Swift's ‘Time' Cover Is Breaking Far-Right Brains (msn.com)
Time magazine declared Taylor Swift as 2023's person of the year on Wednesday, and accompanied the announcement with a rare interview from the artist in which she reflected on the year of her career that truly put her on top of the world. Unsurprisingly, right-wing commentators took the opportunity to interpret Swift's well-earned success to launch into a conspiracy theory bender.Swift, who has publicly aligned herself with the pro-choice movement and declared her opposition to former President Donald Trump, has become the ire of a vocal group of conservatives hell-bent on the bizarre notion that the singer is a political weapon aimed at the upcoming presidential election. End of Wokeness, a far-right account with nearly 2 million followers, credited Swift with having enough rizz to convince a "cult-like following" to "drink poisoned Kool Aid for her." In the same post, the account prophesied that the singer-songwriter's next step would be "Politics," adding, "If you don't think the regime has plans to weaponize her just in time for 2024, you clearly have not been paying attention."Echoing the far-right fear-mongering, former Trump immigration adviser Stephen Miller tweeted, "What's happening with Taylor Swift is not organic."
