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.
