Taylor Swift: From Aryan Queen to Left-Wing Psyop

How did Taylor Swift go from being (falsely) labeled a far-right dream girl to a left-wing psyop in conspiracy narratives? Host Cristen Conger untangles the conflicting stories that have turned Swift into a culture war lightning rod, from Nazi sympathizer rumors to the Travis Kelce psyop theory. Sociologist Brian Donovan unpacks why her celebrity makes her a prime conspiracy target, while media psychologist Leah Dajches dives into the stigma surrounding Gaylor Swifties and what it reveals about fandom, gender, and power.(00:00) Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and the Non-Existent Super Bowl Psyop(02:16) Why Taylor Swift?(03:01) Swifties, Fandom and Sociology(05:38) The Alt-Right Co-opting of Taylor Swift's Celebrity(07:39) Taylor Swift's Political Awakening(11:49) Rage Against the Billionaire Childless Cat Lady(22:02) Gaylor & Hetlers(24:59) Queering Pop Culture and 'Folklore'(33:32) Taylor Swift's Queer Imagery(41:24) Taylor Swift, Satanist Clone??(42:24) Conclusion and CreditsEpisode 3 sources and transcript.Inbox: [email protected]: @conspiracyshewrote, @unladylikemediaWebsite: conspiracyshewrote.comPatreon: The Cabal . . .Conspiracy, She Wrote is an Unladylike Media production, created, written and hosted by Cristen Conger.
