CNN’s Chris Wallace Floats Blockbuster Taylor Swift Super Bowl Stunt — That Would Make MAGA-World Go Nuclear
CNN anchor and confirmed “Swifty” Chris Wallace floated a bombshell Super Bowl stunt for Taylor Swift that would no doubt send the already-suspicious MAGA figures into fits of conspiratorial apoplexy.
The angst over Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has sparked bizarre accusations that Swift and the National Football League have colluded to install President Joe Biden for a second term by rigging the outcome of the Super Bowl in order to engineer a Swift-Travis Kelce Uber-endorsement.
On this week’s edition of CNN’s The Chris Wallace Show on Saturday morning, Wallace — joined by journalists Kristen Soltis Anderson, Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Reihan Salam, and Kara Swisher — spent a segment discussing the Super Bowl, and Swift’s epic odyssey to the game.
Along the way, Garcia-Navarro pitched one idea to “drive the MAGAs really crazy” — drinking some Bud Light — but Wallace one-upped her by floating an on-field marriage proposal:
WALLACE: OK, all right, you’ve got your ticket. You have your beer. Now let’s talk about getting to Las Vegas for the game. Chances are, you’ll have an easier time than Taylor Swift. Sources say she’ll be there to support her boyfriend, who, in case you haven’t heard, is Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, and she’s going to rack up a ton of miles doing it.
Here’s why. Swift has a concert in Tokyo the night of February 10th. She’ll then have to jump on a 12-hour flight to make it to Vegas for the game on the 11th. After that, she’s looking at a 17-hour flight back across the Pacific for a concert in Australia. So, Kara, yea or nay to crisscrossing the globe for your sweetheart?
SWISHER: I like it. I like the whole thing. I think ain’t love grand, especially when you have a private plane? She’s utterly coming, and the networks love it, everyone loves it. I think she should do an ad for — some Super Bowl ad, which would be funny. Maybe Bud Light to drive the MAGAs really crazy.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: But isn’t she going to endorse Biden? I thought that’s the reason she’s going.
SWISHER: No.
WALLACE: How about a proposal on the field?
SWISHER: No, she’s not doing that. That’s not Taylor Swift. She’s not going to do that.
WALLACE: It would be pretty cool, though.
SWISHER: It’s not —
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Are there conspiracy theories about why she’s flying there? This is the whole point. I’m a hard yea on this because I believe that you should be with the person that you love, but, also, because there are so many conspiracy theories around this that it’s kind of — it will make it exciting.
WALLACE: Yes, but listen to this, Travis won’t be at the Grammys this Sunday where Taylor is up for six awards. In his defense, it’s the team’s travel day and he says he’s got to get ready for, as he puts it, this big old Super Bowl.
