Zach Bryan Apologizes for Taylor Swift and Kanye West Tweet
Zach Bryan has learned a powerful lesson—don’t drink and tweet.
The country singer found himself in hot water on Sept. 18 when he tweeted about Taylor Swift and Kanye West with the message, “Eagles > chiefs,” followed by, “Kanye > Taylor,” adding, “Who’s with me?”
Not surprisingly, Swifties everywhere were not with Zach, who later deleted his X account (formerly Twitter) in the wake of the backlash from the post.
The tweet had several layers of insults as Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and the “Reputation” singer has a tense history with Kanye, who along with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian has been the subject of many of Taylor’s diss tracks.
Zach backpedaled early in the morning on Sept. 19, posting lengthy messages to his Instagram Story apologizing and explaining his actions.
“For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,” the “Heading South” singer wrote on top of a screengrab of Taylor’s song with Post Malone “Fortnight.” “I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong.”
Acknowledging the longtime feud between Taylor and Kanye in addition to the controversies surrounding the “Gold Digger” rapper, the 28-year-old continued, “I know there’s a lot of stuff that clouds around Ye and I was speaking purely musically. I love Taylor’s music and pray you guys know I’m human and tweet stupid things often.”
