The Pentagon has responded to a theory aired by Fox News‘ Jesse Watters, claiming that American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift’s meteoric rise to fame is part of a government psychological operation to get young people to vote Democrat.

In a segment this week on Jesse Watters Primetime, the host played a video supposedly showing a DOD official suggesting turning Swift into an asset to combat so called misinformation.

However, the official was not a Pentagon employee, but instead a research engineer with no known ties to the U.S. military. The individual was giving a presentation on how misinformation spreads online.

When talking about the theory, Sabrina Singh, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, said they would “shake it off.”

Swift has been outspoken on her political beliefs in recent years. In the 2020 presidential election, she endorsed Joe Biden.

And I also have custom cookies” – Taylor Swift via Instagram #Vote #VPDebate #BidenHarris2020 pic.twitter.com/ZS9N0T0gLg
