The Far-Right’s Super Bowl Conspiracy Theory: Ice Spice as the Culprit
Why does the far right hate Taylor Swift? Other than voting for Joe Biden, there doesn’t seem to be much reason, yet she has become one of their targets. They have even created conspiracy theories about her and her guests, such as Ice Spice, at the Super Bowl.
HuffPost reports that some MAGA supporters accused Ice Spice of flashing “Satanic hand gestures” and wearing “demonic clothing” during the game.

They even criticized Taylor for drinking beer at a football game.
Nothing to see here…

Despite the accusations, Ice Spice was simply using “devil signs” that have been part of music culture for decades, and her upside-down crucifix is not necessarily “demonic” or “satanic,” as Snopes has pointed out.
On my God!
MAGA Opinion of Ice Spice: “Satanic Ice Spice was flashing the devil symbol while wearing an upside-down cross representing the devil!”

Ice Spice has also stated in an interview with Interview magazine in 2022 that she went to Catholic school as a kid and still prays every day.
Ice Spice went to Catholic school and in an interview says she prays every day. I find it hard to believe she’s “demonic.”
Then there’s St. Peter’s cross which is traditionally Christian. A lot of Christian’s are unaware of this cross because they don’t read Christian history. pic.twitter.com/OC5uBFiyzI

Despite the conspiracy theories, it’s unlikely that Ice Spice is a satanist. This kind of controversy only serves to anger Swifties and Ice Spice fans, potentially driving them to oppose the Republicans even more.
