Taylor Swift being one of the most famous women in the world means she bound to garner more than a little chatter about her in the nether regions of the internet. But what conspiracy theories do people believe about the richest woman in pop? Let's have a look.
1. The Taylor Swift / Nazi thing
Broadly just did an excellent article on this. It's bloody fascinating it is. Have a read of it here. It's not exactly a conspiracy theory, more the fact that loads of White Power and Aryan Pride douchelords have chosen Taylor Swift as their princess. According to a website called The Daily Stormer (not as fun as it sounds), 'It is an established fact that Taylor Swift is secretly a Nazi and is simply waiting for the time when Donald Trump makes it safe for her to come out and announce her Aryan agenda to the world. Probably, she will be betrothed to Trump's son, and they will be crowned American royalty'. Sure thing buddy.
2. She was the Ronald McDonald of Japan
If this model from ten years ago in this McDonalds advert isn't Taylor Swift, i'll eat my hat. She's literally the same person. Just wearing couture versions of Ronald McDonalds' garb. Perhaps she needed the extra cash back in 2006? She was only like, two years into her career at that point.
3. Apple and Taylor Swift were in on it the whole time
Not the most exciting theory but probably the most plausible. Remember back when Taylor Swift wrote an open letter to Apple condemning them for not paying artists being streamed during their three month trial period? Yeah, Apple changed their tune VERY quickly. When it happened at the time, many people called bullshit - claiming that the move made Taylor look 'powerful' and Apple look 'generous'. Tom Conrad, who works at Snapchat, made some very interesting points about this on Twitter saying that Apple's policy change just put Apple Music in the same bracket as Spotify. Which Taylor hates and took all her music off. Now, a year on, Taylor is starring in adverts for Apple. Which is also weird.
4. Taylor Swift's obsession with the number 13 proves that she's part of the Illuminati
For those still not sure what the Illuminati is meant to be - it's a global elite of select people who are actually the ones running the world, making all the big decisions and essentially controlling your life. Beyonce and Jay-Z are supposedly in it, they love triangles, it's a whole thing.
Taylor Swift was born on Friday the 13th,there's lots of pictures with her featuring a '13' drawn on her hand, her first album had 13 tracks on, her Twitter handle is TaylorSwift13, her first number one was released in the 13th week of the year, the Kanye thing happened on September 13th... Basically there's a lot of 13s you can associate with Taylor Swift. Illuminati conspiracy theorists point to this being because of Taylor's obsession with the 13 bloodlines that the Illuminati is supposedly based on.
Even MORE bonkers, they say that time Kanye interrupted her on stage was actually her Illuminati initiation ceremony. After it happened, Taylor later came back on stage WEARING A DRESS THE SAME COLOUR AS BEYONCE'S.
5. Team Taylor were deleting Tumblr posts praising Adele
Mate. We all know Taylor Swift is the queen of Tumblr. She's Becky. So when a Twitter user accused her of deleting his friend's Tumblr post praising Adele for getting 23 million listens to *Hello *in one day, it didn't seem TOO farfetched...
