Pentagon Dismisses Fox News Host's Claim of Taylor Swift as Covert Asset

Jesse Watters' theory, based on a misinterpreted clip from a 2019 NATO conference, has been widely debunked.

Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested that pop star Taylor Swift could be a covert asset for the Pentagon, a claim that has been widely debunked.
The Pentagon responded to Watters' claim, dismissing it as a conspiracy theory and using the opportunity to highlight their need for a supplemental budget approval from Congress.
Watters' theory was based on a misinterpretation of a clip from a 2019 NATO conference, where a research engineer used Swift as an example of a powerful influencer, not as a proposed asset.
Watters admitted on his show that he had no evidence to support his claim.
Representatives for Taylor Swift have not yet responded to the allegations.
