Ok, so what if her favorite team loses the Superbowl and she still endorses Biden? What then? Like do they think that is her one chance to endorse a candidate?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 39 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Don't you get it? The Superbowl is her one chance to reach a large audience. If she doesn't get to endorse him there, she may never get another chance to reach millions of people because platforms like that don't exist outside of a couple major sporting events.

I laughed!

yesterday I was at the grocery store and the young lady at the register asked me if I was going to watch the big games today. I told her I didn't really care about football aside from one team. She asked if I was going to watch the Superbowl and I said probably not. I asked if she was going to and she said yes because her hobby was Taylor Swift. It was a moment that I will remember for a while because it was fun to be in that space where this young lady who didn't care about the game was excited about Taylor Swift being a part of it, and me whos watched it all my life could care less.

because her hobby was Taylor Swift.

What on earth does THAT mean?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It’s just a fun and silly way to say she deeply admires Taylor Swift. What else could that mean?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Sounds more like she forgot the word "fan" for a moment.

She is obviously the puppet master controlling the android we call Taylor Swift. It's just a hobby though. /s

When you put it that way, yeah... she kind of doesn't need this gig. At all. Plus, everything I've read suggests that doing this halftime show is a huge PITA anyway.

That'll mean the conspiracy is even deeper than they thought.
