泰勒·斯威夫特会为其竞选背书？拜登：是机密

据美联社27日报道，美国总统拜登在当地时间26日的一档深夜节目中开玩笑称，美国歌星泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）是否会在2024年总统大选中为自己背书是“机密”。

US President Joe Biden joked Monday that a potential 2024 endorsement by Taylor Swift is a “classified” matter as he made a rare media appearance to mark the 10th anniversary of “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”

报道称，今年是美国总统大选年，拜登正寻求更多方式接触选民。他基本上避免了在白宫举行新闻发布会以及和记者的面对面交谈，甚至跳过了传统的“超级碗”（美国职业橄榄球联盟年度冠军总决赛）前的总统采访环节，但却当天罕见露面《塞斯·梅耶斯深夜秀》节目。

Going into this year’s presidential election, Biden is seeking additional ways to reach out to voters, having largely avoided White House press conferences and on-the-record sit-downs with text reporters. Biden also skipped the traditional pre-Super Bowl presidential interview.

在美国社交媒体上，有关“泰勒和超级碗冠军、堪萨斯城酋长队近端锋特拉维斯·凯尔斯，是帮助民主党赢得 11 月大选的精心策划的一部分”的相关讨论十分流行。

民调显示，18%的美国人认为泰勒·斯威夫特会“秘密努力”，以帮助拜登赢得2024年美国总统连任。

Eighteen percent believe there is “a covert government effort” for the pop icon to help President Biden win re-election, according to a Monmouth University survey.

主持人梅耶斯提问拜登，是否能证实或否认，他和泰勒·斯威夫特之间存在阴谋？“你从哪里得到这些信息，这是机密。”拜登说。

泰勒·斯威夫特曾在2020年支持他竞选总统。梅耶斯接着问，她是否会再次为其竞选“背书”，拜登笑着说：“我说过了，这是机密。”

"Can you confirm or deny that there is an active conspiracy between you and Ms. Swift?" Meyers asked Biden. "Where are you getting this information?" Biden quipped, to laughter. "It’s classified."

Swift, whose massive popularity with young people would be a boon for the president as he runs for re-election in 2024, endorsed Biden in 2020, the president happily pointed out.

拜登今年81岁，是美国历史上最年长的领导人。在回应选民对其年龄的担忧时，他暗示与其年龄相近的特朗普甚至不记得自己妻子的名字。此外，拜登还比较了他与特朗普在堕胎等领域的政策，重申他支持妇女的堕胎权。

Biden, at 81 the oldest-ever US leader, also addressed concerns about his age, saying, “You got to take a look at the other guy, he’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name.” Biden supports women's rights to abortion.

美联社称，采访录制结束后，拜登还和梅耶斯一起买冰激凌吃。

据美国《滚石》杂志1月30日报道，特朗普私下告诉身边的人，再多当红名人捧场也救不了拜登。他还说，自己比泰勒·斯威夫特“更受欢迎”。
