Kansas City Coach Andy Reid Dodges Question About Taylor Swift 'Psyop' Theory

Thats way out of my league. Very similar to me speaking German, the Chiefs coach noted at a press event before Sunday's Super Bowl.

Although Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is busy preparing for Sundays Super Bowl, nobody could have prepared him for some of the questions hes being asked about the big game.

Well, to be more specific, Taylor Swifts effect on the big game.

The NFL held its media day for Super Bowl LVIII on Tuesday, giving reporters from all over the world a chance to ask players and coaches from the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers questions about the game and anything else.

One of those anything else questions was the one an unnamed German reporter asked about the conspiracy theory fomented by MAGA followers that the singer has conspired in a psychological operation (psyop) with the NFL; the Democratic Party ; her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce; and President Joe Biden to deliver the 2024 election to Biden. 

What do you say about the conspiracies that have popped up concerning Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? the reporter asked. Like some kind of Republican conspiracies that you guys made it into the Super Bowl to actually secretly reelect or help reelect President Biden?

As you can see in the video below, Reid shuddered slightly at the question before offering a hmmph.

He then avoided giving the frankly stupid theory any more oxygen

Thats way out of my league. Very similar to me speaking German, he noted.

Reid said he appreciated the question before saying that Swift has been great and the team enjoyed visiting the White House after last years Super Bowl win.

You can see the exchange below.

Conservative conspiracy theories have been running amok since the couple announced last fall that they were dating.

In one case, Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested that Swift could be a front for a covert political agenda or worse, a Pentagon asset, an allegation that the Pentagon denied.  

But some Republicans are swifter than that.
