After facing backlash for a controversial tweet about Kanye West and Taylor Swift, Zach Bryan has deactivated his X account.
The Controversial Tweet
On Wednesday (Sept. 18), the country star shared a tweet that stirred up a storm on social media. Starting with “eagles > chiefs,” he then declared “Kanye > Taylor,” before asking, “who’s with me?” The response to his tweet seems to have led to his decision to leave the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Swifties Come to Taylor’s Defense
Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, quickly rallied to her defense after Bryan’s tweet, which not only offended Swift but also her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Comments on a Pop Crave post about the tweet included remarks like, “He knew not to mess with the Swifties,” and “got all brave just to wimp out and deactivate.”
Bryan’s Kanye Obsession
Despite deactivating his Twitter account, Bryan’s Instagram remains active, where he has been showcasing his love for Kanye West. His Instagram Stories feature older songs by Ye, such as “Good Life” and “Ghost Town,” among others.
The Football Rivalry
The rivalry between the Eagles and Chiefs, as well as the personal rivalry between the Kelce brothers, has been heating up in recent years, culminating in a showdown at the 2023 Super Bowl.
The Swift-Ye Feud
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West dates back to the infamous 2009 VMAs incident. Despite reconciling at one point, their relationship took a turn for the worse with the release of Kanye’s song “Famous” and the leaked phone call with Kim Kardashian.
Recent References
Both Swift and Ye have made references to their feud in recent works, with Ye mentioning Swift’s relationship with Kelce in his Vultures 2 album, and Swift subtly referencing Ye in a song title.
