After backlash over a snarky tweet about Ye and Taylor Swift, Zach Bryan took it down Account X.
On Wednesday (September 18), the country star shared a hot take that may have proved too hot for social media. “eagles > chiefs,” he began his message, followed by, “Kanye > Taylor.” He concluded: “Who's with me” — and the answer to that question seems to have gotten him kicked out of the site formerly known as Twitter.
Swift was quick to come to Taylor's defense, given that Bryan's message was a two-pronged attack on both Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, of the Kansas City Chiefs. “Knew not to mess with the Swifties,” wrote one commenter on a Pop Crave post about the tweet, with another writing: “I have the courage to disappear and disable.”
According to Bryan's Instagram (which is still active), he's been on a Kanye kick lately. The first four of his current Instagram stories, as of press time, include four of Ye's (ex-Kanye West) past songs: “Good Life,” featuring T-Pain, from 2007 Graduation and “I Thought About Killing You”, “All Mine” and “Ghost Town”, featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, from 2018 You.
The Eagles and Chiefs football rivalry has intensified in recent years, with Travis Kelce facing his now-retired brother Jason Kelce and the Philly team in the 2023 Super Bowl, with Kansas City emerging victorious.
But the far more heated rivalry was between Swift and Ye, whose history began when West interrupted Taylor's 2009 VMAs acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé should have won. They reconciled after that and struck up an unlikely friendship, before Ye dropped some questionable lyrics about Swift into his song “Famous” and his then-wife Kim Kardashian released a recording of a private phone call between the two musicians that set fire to their rocky relationship their. .
The pair made references to their famous feud just last month, with Ye rapping about Swift's relationship with Kelce on Vultures 2 album and Swift restyling a Department of Tormented Poets song title with capital YE: “thank You aimEe.”
