Conservative media personalities are raging over a new enemy and onetime Biden endorser whose power has never been more undeniable: Taylor Swift.

Why it matters: The teams behind the two 2024 presidential frontrunners are zeroing in on a pop mega-star with a feverish fan base that actually does heed her calls to go out and vote.
What they're saying: Fox News commentator and "OutKick" host, Tomi Lahren said during a broadcast Monday that Swift should skip endorsements altogether and "stick to her singing," The Daily Beast reported.
Meanwhile, former ESPN host Charly Arnolt, also an "OutKick" host, reportedly told Fox's Martha MacCallum that she hoped the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl because she's "had enough of Taylor Swift." Arnolt then went on raging about Swift but acknowledged her political influence as "scary."
MAGA acolytes ranging from ex-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump lawyer Alina Habba to Fox News host Jeanine Pirro are publicly fuming over the singer, asserting she needs to "stay out of politics" or implying she's not what America needs.
Among the most extreme conspiracy theories surrounding Swift and her boyfriend, Super Bowl-bound Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce, is that their relationship is a deep state psy-op orchestrated by the NFL and Democrats to work in President Biden's favor.
Kelce has already been loathed by conservatives for partnering with Pfizer for a pro-COVID vaccine campaign.
