Will Taylor Swift endorse him in 2024? Biden says that's 'classified'

During an appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers," U.S. President Joe Biden dismissed conspiracy theories suggesting a collaboration with pop star Taylor Swift. Meyers mentioned polling data indicating that 18% of Americans believed in the alleged partnership. When asked about it, Biden humorously responded, "Where are you getting this information? It's classified." Biden also highlighted Swift's endorsement in the 2020 election and teasingly hinted at the possibility of another endorsement in 2024. The president's appearance was part of his efforts to connect with younger audiences and counter concerns about his age.
