The DEA is calling out Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

Newly anointed DEA Administrator Derek Maltz is calling on super-hot celebrities like the \u201cShake it Off\u201d singer to step up and help spread his anti-drug message during Sunday\u2019s big game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s the thing: Taylor Swift has 300 million followers,\u201d Maltz told The Post in an exclusive interview. \u201cIf she did one 30-second video about the dangers of synthetic drugs, she could literally save thousands and thousands of young kids because they listen to her. They follow her. They love her.\u201d<\/p>\n

And not just the pop icon \u2014 others with the ear of America\u2019s youth should heed the call, he said.<\/p>\n

He said Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his Super Bowl opponent, Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts, and WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark should all be doing their part.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal during this Super Bowl week is to make sure that we could better educate the nation\u2019s celebrities, role models, social media influencers and professional athletes,\u201d Maltz said. \u201cWe want them to better understand that this is something we need their help on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd here\u2019s why: Kids in America are on social media reels all day long, whether it\u2019s all the social media sites, and that\u2019s where they\u2019re learning. So we have to reach them where they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DEA boss cited the tragic case of\u00a0three Chiefs fans who froze to death\u00a0<\/a>in a Missouri back yard while watching their team in the NFL playoffs last year \u2014 allegedly with fentanyl and cocaine in their systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cI immediately thought this is a great opportunity,\u201d Maltz said.<\/p>\n

Swift is particularly poised to reach both her pop audience and NFL fans leading up to the Super Bowl \u2014 the 35-year-old singer\/songwriter is not only one of the world\u2019s top music acts, she\u2019s also immersed in a high-profile\u00a0romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means that Swift has been very visible at the team\u2019s games.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mahomes is one of the NFL\u2019s brightest stars after winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles over the past two years \u2014 and is going for an unprecedented third championship on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have one of our senior special agents in charge out there at the Super Bowl this week with the NFL Alumni Association,\u201d Maltz said. \u201cYou get on as many radio shows [as possible] to try to recruit these people.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, that\u2019s one of my top goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
