· 4 pulledYou have to be really bored to provoke Taylor Swift fans.
It's probably pretty boring to be in Metallica in 2026.
Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, maybe in an attempt to distract from the Geese psyop allegations, recently wore a T-shirt onstage that said 'Taylor Swift Is a CIA Psyop.'
To be fair, Swift is a billionaire and keeps advocating for the incredibly insufferable emerging musician Sombr, who is probably the real CIA psyop here.
