Country music star Zach Bryan revealed how he really feels about Taylor Swift, after he compared the pop diva to Kanye West in a since-deleted tweet. Bryan, a 28-year-old Country Music Assn. Awards nominee, shared his opinions on sports and music earlier this week, tweeting “eagles > chiefs” and “Kanye > Taylor,” according to a screenshot shared on X (formerly Twitter).
The singer-songwriter’s post went viral, sparking ire from Swifties and other social media fans . He swiftly — no pun intended — deactivated his X account and apologized in a series of Instagram stories early Thursday morning. He clarified he was tweeting under the influence and “I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night.
” “I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong,” he said on Instagram , posting a screenshot of Swift’s and Post Malone’s “Fortnight.” “I know there’s a lot of stuff that clouds 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.
Hope one day I can explain this to her.” Over several Instagram stories, the “Condemned” singer said he had been going through hard times in his personal life and explained he “was projecting a little” in his tweet, which took a dig at both Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs. The post also seemed to evoke Swift and West’s years-long feud .
