Episode description
While Taylor Swift arrives in Australia for the biggest shows of her career, she’s found herself at the centre of conspiratorial fantasies sweeping American right-wing politics.

Today, political reporter for Rolling Stone magazine, Nikki McCann-Ramirez, on how right-wing conspiracies are rotting American politics.
