LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Country musician Zach Bryan found himself at the center of controversy yet again after a tweet comparing Kanye West to Taylor Swift drew intense backlash.
Last week Bryan caused a stir when he tweeted, “Anyone willing to put politics above music don’t get the point of listening to music.” He then briefly deactivated his X account but returned—only to find himself embroiled in a new wave of criticism.

On Tuesday, September 17, Bryan tweeted, “eagles > chiefs” and followed up with a more provocative statement, “Kanye > Taylor,” capped off with “who’s with me.” This comment didn’t sit well with Taylor Swift’s passionate fanbase, the Swifties, who quickly responded.

Many fired back with statements like, “Tyler Childers > Zach Bryan” and “Literally anyone else > Zach Bryan.”
Swifties flocked to social media with fiery reactions to Zach Bryan’s post, even after he had deleted his account. One user commented, “Zach bryan being unable to stand on business and deleted his twitter bc he knew he f**ked up the second he mentioned taylor Swift is so f**king funny.”
Realizing the situation had escalated, Bryan tried to smooth things over with a follow-up tweet, “Guys, I love Taylor, was listening to TTPD last night and thank you aimee came on and I drunkenly tweeted that about Kanye. If anyone took it serious, please know I love both artists a lot and think we’re in a really beautiful time of music.” Despite the apology, he deactivated his account.

After country star Zach Bryan deactivated his X account following backlash over his tweet comparing Kanye West to Taylor Swift, fans and critics alike took to social media to share their thoughts. The reactions were swift and often witty.
One user joked, “By the look of things that hairline is also deactivating,” while another said, “Got all brave just to wimp out and deactivate.”
Many highlighted the danger of messing with Taylor Swift’s dedicated fanbase, with one user writing, “He knew not to mess with the Swifties.”
“Good. I’m not even the biggest TaySnore fan but what a really strange thing to tweet in 2024,” a user said while others couldn’t help but comment on Bryan’s football fandom, noting, “The way he just proved he watches football only for Taylor.”
Others speculated about his motivations, calling the tweet a cry for attention, “Desperate for attention,” while another asked the obvious question: “What made him think posting this to TWITTER was a good idea?”
“This was random as hell, this has to be a stunt and not a beneficial one,” a user said.
