Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) hailed pop music superstar Taylor Swift amid criticism she is facing from conservatives Wednesday.

“Taylor Swift is a national treasure,” Cheney wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The conservative side of social media has been flooded with conspiracy theories about the singer, and the speculation that the NFL is fixing games so that Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, can go to the Super Bowl and win it, and endorse President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign while at the championship football game.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote on X Monday.

    Do I have to spend time with her to be a fan of her?

      You’re being disingenuous. I never replied to simply being “a fan of her.” I replied to being “a fan of Taylor Swift the person.” This implies a level of intimacy that people can only get if they spend time with others. It would be a different story if they said I am a “fan of what Taylor has done.”
