Taylor Swift, Joe Rogan Question Divides Internet

A right-wing activist has sparked an intense debate about Joe Rogan and Taylor Swift by asking one question on social media.

Luke Rudkowski, founder of conspiracy group We Are Change (WAC), asked a simple question on X, formerly Twitter.

"If there's a culture war between Joe Rogan and Taylor Swift who is winning?" he asked with a poll below. The poll attracted almost 11,400 votes with Rogan winning at 85.6 percent.

But his question kicked off further debate elsewhere on X, as people reposted his original post with their own comments.

"Yawn. Zzzzzzzz. Who friggin CARES? Danger—cul-de-sac ahead. When you get there please park and stare straight ahead thinking that what you see is somehow relevant when it's a diversion to keep you occupied on irrelevant b*******. Thank you," wrote one person.

Another posted: "After watching what girls went through to try and get tickets to see Taylor there isn't a world where she doesn't win"

And a third commented: "I like Joe Rogan in terms of Foreign and National Border policy, Taylor Swift Domestic and Social Policy. I am abstaining from this vote as a Swiftie, and Rogan listener. Both holds massive influence, and rightfully so!"

Rogan, a comedian and UFC commentator, hosts the most popular podcast on Spotify called The Joe Rogan Experience and is often cited as a highly influential pundit.

Swift, who was already one of the most powerful pop stars in the world, had a phenomenal 2023 where she more than doubled her personal fortune to become a billionaire thanks to her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She had multiple albums in the Billboard charts and her song "Cruel Summer" was one of the most played hits of the year.

The singer was named Time's "Person of the Year" and was the most searched-for person on Google. The "Bad Blood" singer also entered into a high-profile relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce which has dominated news stories since September.
