WaPo Report CONFIRMS Democrats Scheming to Use Taylor Swift Endorsement

Taylor Swift is everywhere these days — including in hidden Democrat staffer meetings, according to a new report from The Washington Post.

Last week, we brought you an in-depth theory about Democrats scheming to use an endorsement from Taylor Swift to sway the vote in November…

It may involve rigging the Super Bowl and using Swift’s vaccine-shilling football superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce as another pawn in their demented game.

If this sounds far too crazy, then you haven’t read the article.

Super Bowl Rigged, Involves Taylor Swift? Vivek’s Comment Has Entire Media Complex Attacking Him

Now, it turns out that there may be more credibility to this theory than initially thought.

Apparently, a group of Democrat staffers calling themselves the 'Hill Swifties' are already having meetings in D.C. to discuss how to use a potential endorsement from Taylor Swift.

A WaPo journalist sat in on these Dem staffers' meeting and reported how they also confirmed sneakily adding Taylor Swift references to public statements...

Take a look:

TODAY: WaPo reports Democrats are meeting in DC to discuss how to use Taylor Swift’s endorsement, that Biden received a WH briefing on the sale of Taylor Swift’s early music to Scooter Braun, and that the State Dept and FBI are putting Swiftie references in public statements

Here's an excerpt from the original WaPo piece:

Last Thursday, in a not-quite dive bar on the east side of Capitol Hill, five Democratic staffers crammed into a leather booth with beers and white wines to discuss the latest spasms of political drama swirling around the leader of their movement.

“I want one single person to be normal about this and treat her like a human being,” one Hill staffer said of Taylor Swift.

“All the MAGA people have been super annoying this week,” said another.

After nearly 90 minutes, one dared to wonder aloud if Taylor’s relationship with her football-playing boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was, in fact, a publicity stunt. The others screamed.

“We’ve been here for an hour and you’re saying this now?”

The women belong to the Hill Swifties, a group chat of congressional worker bees who adore the pop star and who occasionally let their fandom out at work by sneaking Swift references into their bosses’ press releases — or, conversely, talking those bosses out of posting cringeworthy Taylor content. After all, it’s easy to appropriate Swiftisms poorly in Washington. The State Department’s ‘Eras Tour’-themed checklist for international travel? That was good. The FBI’s tip line tweet cloaked in the aesthetics of Swift’s album “Speak Now,” encouraging citizens who “have information about a federal crime” to “speak now?” Not so good.

The staffers — who allowed The Washington Post to join their conversation on the condition that it not use their names, so nobody mistakes their personal views for their bosses’ — have been fans of Swift almost as long as they’ve been alive. Certainly longer than they’ve been involved with politics.

“Thank goodness we have Taylor Swift,” one Hill Swiftie joked about her obsession with the pop star, “otherwise I wonder if I’d be into QAnon.”

It’s an especially heady time for Swifties in Washington. Her latest appearance at one of Kelce’s games — a playoff win that sent his team to the Super Bowl — coincided with murmurs that President Biden’s campaign may be courting her support. The developments had kicked off a multiday frenzy over what, if anything, Swift could mean to the politics of 2024.

On the left: open thirsting for Swift, a vocal advocate for women’s and LGBTQ+ rights whose known views generally align with the Democrats, to enter her Dark Brandon Era. On the right: speculation that Swift and her “vaccine shill boyfriend” — a reference to Kelce’s advertisements for the coronavirus vaccine — are a “psyop” (spy-world shorthand for a psychological operation) to throw the election to Biden.

Swift, meanwhile, has very much excluded herself from the narrative​: She has not weighed in publicly on the endorsement chatter, and a publicist for Swift did not respond to a request for comment.

Team Biden is playing any Swift strategy close to the vest: A campaign and White House spokesperson both declined to comment on Swift-specific outreach. “I have no idea if Taylor Swift would actively offer herself or not, but of course, he’d love to have her endorsement,” said Mitch Landrieu, a co-chair of the Biden reelection campaign who said he loves Swift and also Beyoncé.

It’s unclear how much the president, a fan of Irish folk music, knows or cares about Swift, whose name he appeared to confuse with Britney Spears’s during remarks at last year’s presidential turkey pardon.

Educating the president has fallen to his die-hard Swiftie staffers. On a day that music manager Scooter Braun visited the White House, former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield found herself inadvertently briefing the president about Swift’s bad blood with Braun over control of her master recordings. As Biden’s team prepped the president in the Oval Office for the upcoming meeting, Bedingfield stepped forward.

“I was like, ‘Sir, this is the briefing I was born for!’” she says.

TMZ has also reported on how Biden's campaign is "desperate" for a Taylor Swift endorsement.

Here's what they had to say:

President Joe Biden and his team are reportedly yanking their hair out trying to get Taylor Swift's endorsement -- but if history's any indication ... there's nothing to worry about.

The NYT did a deep dive into Biden's 2024 campaign, and specifically ... focused on how his aides are apparently discussing T-Swift, and brainstorming on ways to get her to officially sign her name on the Biden ticket heading into the November election.

According to the outlet ... Biden's aides/surrogates have been talking about their Taylor approach quite a bit in recent months -- and the conversations have gotten so intense, it seems, that they've actually discouraged applicants for social media gigs to save it on their "Taylor Swift strategy."

The reason ... they already have more than enough ideas, and they don't need/want some young whippersnapper to chip in any more proposals on getting her involved/interested.
