Taylor Swift is part of a covert operation for the Pentagon.The figures come following a poll that was carried out across the US between February 8 and February 12.

Speaking with over 900 US citizens, the results show that nearly one in five believe that the pop star is secretly working with the government.The speculation about Swift’s involvement with the US government came into prominence last month, when Fox News broadcast a segment claiming that the singer was part of a covert operation with the Pentagon, and secretly working as a “psyop”.In the conspiracy theory, shared on Jesse Watters Primetime, the anchor questioned if viewers had “ever wondered why or how she blew up like this?” Before adding: “Well around four years ago, the Pentagon’s psychological operations unit floated turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting.

What kind of asset? A psyop for combating online misinformation.”He went on to play a clip from 2019, which he described as a Pentagon employee pitching NATO on Swift as a potential asset, although this was quickly debunked.Following the report, the Pentagon denied rumours that Taylor Swift was a political “asset”, and a spokesperson said that, when it came to the theory, they were “going to shake it off” – a reference to her hit ‘1989’ song.In the study, which was completed by ​​Monmouth University, the findings also showed that just less than half (46 per cent) of the participants had heard of the “psyop” theory, and 18 per cent said that they believed the conspiracy to be true.Of those who were on board with the theory, 71 per cent “identify with or lean toward” the Republican Party, and 83 per cent are “likely” to support Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
