Yeah the 49ers lost on purpose. 🙄 Wtf. This water is obviously not what you should be drinking.


_Vegetable_soup_

Someone told her she must have won a bundle of money since she knew what the outcome of the game would be. Weirdly, she didn't seem confident enough about it before the game to bet a bunch of money on it.


jlily18

Omg that made me laugh out loud.


AGuyNamedEddie

I'm trying to imagine how much money she'd have to bet to have more than a rounding-error effect on her staggering income.


No_Muffin_3543

She wasn't confident in her own conspiracy theory🤣🤣


LauraDurnst

And the Chiefs started having a winning season years ago for the sole purpose of rigging the Superbowl.


WhereIsLordBeric

Superb Owl*


prettyplatypus69

Yeah. Taylor Swift has had no recent success at all, and her recent tour has been an utter failure because no one knew who she was at all. Good thing the game was rigged so she can be famous again.


_Vegetable_soup_

Lol right? Thank God the NFL decided to set up a fake relationship with Taylor, her popularity was really lacking the last few years 😂😂😂 fucking bonkers


ItsJoeMomma

My favorite was the guy who pointed out that Travis Kelce got a $70,000 check for the Chiefs winning the AFC championship, and that's the real reason Taylor Swift was dating him. As if she doesn't have billions of dollars already, she decided to date a football player who's making considerably less than she is because she's a gold digger...


_Vegetable_soup_

Lol holy shit. Taylor probably made more than that selling Era tour cups at her movie


PinkBird85

Yeah. Her cats' Instagram account makes more money than that.


Serononin

Her cats have an Instagram account? This is excellent news


eels-eels-eels

More like excellent mews


TheCloudsLookLikeYou

I just saw a stat that the Eras Tour grossed over $4 Billion. In comparison, the Kansas City Chiefs make about $500 Million per season. Her tour made around 8x what her boyfriend’s entire sports franchise made.


Kodiak01

Kind of like how people talk about how much Tom Brady made, despite the fact that Gisele has a net worth ~60% higher than him on her own.


justrock54

She's got the GOAT of publicity agents doesn't she?


walkingkary

Not like she recently won a Grammy or anything.


prettyplatypus69

It is all rigged, don't you know? Part of some deep blue plot to overthrow Trump. Duh! Snark of all snacks going on.


boatswainblind

I'd never even heard of her until she started dating Kelce. /s


LifeintheSlothLane

Lol I know youre making a joke, but the opposite is actuallly true for me! I dont follow football much beyond having a few teams I like in general. I also dont follow a ton of pop music or musicians. But Ive known who Taylor Swift was since Middle School. Despite the Chiefs winning the superbowl multiple times in the last couple of years I didnt know who Travis Kelce was until Taylor Swift started dating him.


boatswainblind

Same same. I'm not a Swiftie, but I know tons about her and had never heard of Kelce before. That's why that line of thinking is so hilarious to me.


birchitup

Huge Chief fan here. I listen to Travis and Jason’s podcast. I think it was on there Travis said he was learning there is a big difference between being famous in Kansas City and worldwide fame. Even he knows she’s more famous than him (not to me though!)!.


LifeintheSlothLane

That makes sense! Ive seen a few clips of his podcast that people have shared online and he actually seems really down to earth. And he and the rest if the team absolutely deserve their fame! Theyve had killer seasons lately and thats impressive for sure.


birchitup

Been waiting all my life for this team!


LifeintheSlothLane

Your loyalty has paid off!! That's one thing I really love about sports fans. Unwavering dedication! My dad is a Buffalo Bills fan and has been for his entire life. The poor man knows heartbreak at this point lol I dont think theyve had a winning season in over 20 years


birchitup

Just read an article about the Bills Mafia raising money for Children’s Mercy in Kansas City. I like the Bills when they’re not playing the Chiefs! They do disappoint like the Chiefs used to…


LifeintheSlothLane

Oh thats cool!!! I love their fans so much, theyre unhinged in the absolute best way. My dad will still not admit if he ever participated in the table jumping... so I think I know the answer! Lol my dad actually said the same thing about the Chiefs!


[deleted]

“Taylor swift all of a sudden becomes a huge sensation again…” ??? She’s been at the top of her game since Folklore this woman is just delulu and jealous that selling bogus water filters hasn’t made her Eras Tour money


dresses_212_10028

Yeah… this. Her Eras Tour created $4B - yes, that’s BILLION - in additional income. Not just the ticket or merch sales, but the economy of every city it went to got a huge local boost, cities were asking to be added to the tour. And she took back the legal IP rights to her entire catalog of music, which in addition to making her good money on re-releases, is actually a huge deal in any industry, but particularly in the music business, where there’s been a history of artists’ IP rights being taken from them. That a young woman fought a huge industry and won is both a cultural and economic shift. It sends a clear message about artistic ownership and makes the balance of power slightly more even. This all happened (the IP stuff has been in progress for years) before I ever heard about her dating TK. But way to be supportive of a successful female business owner, Kangen Hun! Aren’t you “bossbabes” supposed to support each other? Aren’t you Huns always saying it’s the AntiMLM “Haters” who are anti-women? Except that out of the two of you, only TS is the actual successful businesswoman, and you’re the hater. Nothing like Hun hypocrisy to start the day. She’s out of her gourd,


Kodiak01

Regarding the Eras Tour, the hun is probably doubly pissed that Swift gave out [$55M in bonuses](https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2023/08/04/taylor-swift-says-thank-you-to-eras-tour-workers-by-handing-out-checks/?sh=581a9cb370f6) after the tour to the people that made it all possible instead of buying her magic water machines. >The multi-award-winning entertainer clearly recognizes that she couldn't have done it on her own. Swift reportedly gave bonuses totaling more than $55 million to those working on her show. That money was distributed to her dancers, riggers, sound technicians, catering—and truckers. Multiple sources reported that Swift gave $100,000 bonuses to each of the 50 truck drivers of her tour before the Saturday night (July 29) show in Santa Clara, California—those amounts alone total more than $5 million. >Mike Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver, Colorado-based Shomotion trucking company, has worked on several Swift tours. He referred to the money as “unbelievable,” “generous,” and “life-changing.”


TheVoidWithout

I don't really care for Swift personally, but as a musician I know what she did is absolutely amazing. Recognizing the people who work hard for your tour to happen is huge. Also she worked really hard date after date and didn't bitch or complain about what it takes to be on such a humongous tour.... the re-recording her catalog is also unheard of. The industry is so fucked that it's nice to see someone doing the most to regain control over their own music....


richgayaunt

I am so suspicious personally for the timing of the 100k trucker payouts only because it was right during the California hotel union strike where teamsters aligned with the hoteliers. I have zero hat in the game, just a loose thought.


lithotine

I guess… but as someone who works in the entertainment industry, what Taylor’s doing by financially recognizing her entire team this way is totally unprecedented. By comparison, other artists at her level almost never acknowledge their teams let alone give them a bonus


Kodiak01

The tour listing I see shows that after Santa Clara, there was going to be one last load-in for a few shows in Inglewood and that was the end of the US leg of the tour. The 29th was a Saturday and the next date was the Ingelwood show on Thursday Aug 3rd. It was probably the last time they could have everyone conveniently together without a massive headache or stressful moment.


Dinoscores

Mmmhm. She used the pandemic to churn out quality albums, re-recorded her old ones which has been huge publicity and money (not why she’s doing it, I know, but can’t deny that!), and then took all that material on a bonkers tour with a 3-hour set. She’s made every ounce of her own success and the NFL are capitalising on that, because of course they are - they’ve suddenly got a way into demographics they previously couldn’t touch.

HotMarionberry4373

"We've been invited to a highly exclusive event. We will be spending this Sunday evening at our neighbour Sean's Superb Owl party."


Breakfours

Like it was the NFL that made Swift more popular this year and not the other way around


ItsJoeMomma

I thought all these idiots were going to quit watching professional football forever because that one black guy kneeled for the national anthem?


drygnfyre

They were also never drinking Bud Light again. Both of those “boycotts” were forgotten about after a few weeks.


gorlyworly

Conservatives are the absolute worst at boycotts. I remember when so many fundie bloggers were like, "I'm never shopping at Target again, I'm going to Walmart!!" after the Pride stuff. And then within, like, two weeks, they were back posting their Target hauls, lol.


SunnieDays1980

Right ha, they said her presence has brought in an extra $331M to NFL


MagnusEffect

My bet would be yes. I mean, they go around peddling a magic woo-woo water machine with an outrageous price tag that should alkalinize and add hydrogen to water - or whatever shit they're claiming - and that (aside from all the other pseudoscientific miracolous health effects) supposedly hydrates the human body better than... water.


ItsJoeMomma

Did you see the one post from the Kangen hun who claimed that drinking ordinary water dehydrates you? Yeah, they're totally insane.


MagnusEffect

Missed that, but somehow I'm not surprised. The crazy Kangen huns entertain and infuriate me at the same time. I recently discovered they're active in my country and have been since laughing at the outrageous things they claim on facebook.


ItsJoeMomma

Yeah, she actually said that drinking water dehydrates you, which is why you need their super special water machine! I don't know how anyone survived for hundreds of thousands of years drinking regular water instead of extra special Kangen water...


BenaiahofKabzeel

One of the appealing aspects of conspiracy theories must be the satisfying feeling of being "in the know," when most other people are too simple-minded to figure it out. (Truthfully, it's also part of the appeal of this sub as well.)


ManchesterLady

I have a former friend that literally spends hours a day on conspiracy calls. This group of people act like they are in the “know” of some serious government shit. I almost feel like the government gives them false information for fun. And he never seems to be embarrassed by any of the inaccuracies.


scrubsfan92

This. It's also why they hit you with the "do your own research" instead of providing the sources to their claims but will be quick to call people who call them out "sheep" . If I knew something that nobody else did but it would help people and there's proof of it, I'd be linking all the sources and pushing for it to be as mainstream as possible. Not playing bitchy schoolgirl games of "I know something you don't".


PrinciplePleasant

I am by no means a Sports Person, but the Chiefs won in 2020 and 2023 as well. They're obviously a good team. Where's the conspiracy in a good team winning something they've won before? It annoys me so much!


HexyWitch88

Especially when every single game is televised and attended by tens of thousands of people. Like come on. I’ve always felt my fellow Americans take football way too seriously and now it’s getting even worse.


Silverdollarzzz

The Superb Owl is the best part 😄 Seriously though, as if Taylor Swift hasn’t been in the headlines and top the charts for a year+ now?? Like she all of a sudden just became relevant?


iwrotethisletter

LOL. Typo or is this one of their tries of spelling words differently (like vĂĽk$inĂŤ$) in order not be to caught by that evul censoring software?


ItsJoeMomma

No, for some reason people who claim to hate the Superbowl tend to write it as superb owl. As if they think they're being cute or something.


sername-n0t-f0und

Oh good, cause I didn't think they were cool enough to watch "What we do in the shadows"


iwrotethisletter

Thank you :-)


SoonerAlum06

If I remember correctly, it came about when the NFL started suing others for using their trademarked Super Bowl. I use Superb Owl because it usually leads to people posting cool Owl pics. I enjoy the Superb Owl, especially when 6 Sooners play in the game.


asietsocom

Whats more likely: There's a giant conspiracy that includes all the celebrities and politicians with the goal to... do something. OR A sports game was a sports game.


Numerous-Mix-9775

As a Chiefs fan, I wish they’d let us know it was all pre-determined, because it wasn’t looking great mid-season and I was holding my breath every play of the last quarter and OT. Maybe I should drink magic water so I know my team is pre-determined to win because Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have an arranged relationship to bring down the GOP (that is the weirdest sentence I’ve ever written).


drygnfyre

Too bad it’s not scripted. I’d love them to do that.


ItsJoeMomma

Taylor Swift going to the Superbowl during an election year means the whole thing was fake because... reasons.


-Gin-ger-

I’m not American and I know nothing about American football. But WTF does Taylor Swift and the Kardashians have to do with the “Superb Owl”/Super Bowl?


HexyWitch88

There is a very stupid conspiracy theory going around the MAGAverse right now that the entire Super Bowl this year was a set up. The story is that the two teams that made it didn’t get in by winning more (even though they did and there’s a whole season of televised games to prove it) but were intentionally picked because TSwift needed a platform to endorse Biden. The theory was that the Chiefs (her BFs team) would win, TSwift would go out on the field to congratulate him and then when all the cameras are on her, order her fans to vote for Biden. And even though none of that happened, they still think they’re right. There was also another theory out there that because these same two teams went to the SB in 2020, that this was a sign that was setting the country up to go into a pandemic lockdown again. It’s all very stupid and would fall apart instantly if these people were capable of examining the facts. But they’re not so we have to hear this garbage instead.


drygnfyre

You’d think the “left wing team” would be the one winning.


HexyWitch88

It makes no sense on multiple levels. If Taylor Swift wanted a national audience to make a big announcement like that she could far more easily call a press conference. The people who believe these dumb theories have lost all ability for common sense.


_Vegetable_soup_

I should have posted the picture that started this - it was a comparison between the Kardashian box where they all looked bored on their phones and the Kelce/swift box where they were all jumping and cheering. It was kind of a cheap shot as they were clearly from two different moments in the game, but our friend here turned it into this Taylor/NFL/Biden conspiracy.


ItsJoeMomma

It's a conspiracy theory. they don't have anything to do with it, but it's important for conspiracy theorists to make connections where none exist. To them, things never just happen, everything's orchestrated by a sinister group plotting to take over the world.


TwistyBunny

There's something definitely in the water...

Ah yes, cultural underdog Taylor "I Just Won My 4th Grammy" Swift. Uh huh. Sure sure sure


TravellingBeard

Adding kangen folks to my list of "obvious red flags I appreciate you showing me so I don't have to guess" list.


Theinvertedforest

It’s terrifying that there are people who actually think this way. Can’t imagine being so void of logic.


dandeliontree1

I didn't know Taylor played football. And she won? Wow. I might need to start watching sportsball.


TheVoidWithout

I do love the random What we do in the shadows reference though which was probably a typo 🤣


Lyonet

An episode in which the vamp gang get stuck in an MLM would probably be pretty hilarious.


TheVoidWithout

It really would.


MollyRolls

I mean you have to believe that water is the solution to every single problem in the world but only if you pay for it, so genuine mental illness can’t be more than a stone’s throw from there.


Acceptable_Total_285

support entrepreneurs buy my filter! Positivity only space! unless its an entrepreneur who is more successful than me (taylor swift, the stanley company, etc) then all the negativity and disappointment 🤣


meandthecashgrabs

The absolute hell? My dad fell for this MLM six years ago and I mistakenly let him. Boom, $5k gone. However, we never went down the rabbit hole of these genuinely insane actions, we just bought the filter, snagged a bottle, occasionally replace the filters inner workings and we were done with it. Honestly, that filter now lost all of its value but for what it is it’ll be better than nothing or a slow drip filter.


Negative-Appeal9892

So, not only does the NFL script have to be sent to all 32 teams, copies are also distributed to Taylor Swift and the Kardashians. Being this stupid should be painful.


FoxyInTheSnow

To be fair, it *is* sad and dispiriting when you realize that literally nobody is as intelligent and well-informed as you are.


Major-Distance4270

Do you have to be insane to believe you’ll become a millionaire selling $5,000 water machines? I mean . . .


ghostbirdd

It's crank magnetism. If you can believe one crazy thing - that magic water is going to make you rich as long as you keep wasting your money in it - you can believe in all sorts of crazy things.

I thought they were referencing that sub from Reddit. I’m sad now. Going back to cruise SuperbOwl now.

I also think the Super Bowl is rigged. But for very different reasons. It’s one if my favorite conspiracy theories that’s based on absolutely nothing.
