PresidentJoe Biden’s 2024 campaign is making light of right-wing conspiracy theories surroundingthe Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victoryon Sunday night.

Hours before his Instagram post on Sunday night, Biden uploadedhis first-ever TikTok, which also included a nod to the conspiracy.

During a series of this-or-that questions about the Super Bowl, the off-camera interviewer asked, “Deviously plotting to rig the season so the Chiefs would make the Super Bowl, or the Chiefs just being a good football team?” Biden smiled and responded, “I’d get in trouble if I told you.”

Swift — who has been outspoken in recent years on a handful of political issues, including supporting LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights and gun safety reform —endorsed Biden in the 2020 presidential election, but has not yet endorsed anyone in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have won the Super Bowl four times in the franchise’s history —three of themin the last five years alone (including in 2020, during theDonald Trumppresidency).

Recently, conservative pundits have stoked fear among Republicans that Swift’s endorsement could sway the election, given her loyal following in the United States. In January, Fox News hostJesse Wattersclaimed that the Department of Defense has talked about making the pop superstar a tool in its psychological operations unit.

During a broadcast ofJesse Watters Primetime, the talk show host suggested that Swift — who recently partnered with nonpartisan organization Vote.org to encourage voter registration — could be “a front for a covert political agenda,” asking his viewers: “Have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?”

Swift —who officially reached billionaire status in 2023, according to Forbes —has broken numerous musicandbox office records, long before she began dating Kelce.

After Watters' segment aired, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh playfully brushed off Watters' unusual claims, tellingPoliticothat “as for this conspiracy theory, we are going toshake it off” — a reference to Swift’s hit 2014 single.
