Swifties were upset with Zach Bryan for saying Kanye West was better than Taylor Swift, given Swift and West’s past feud. They were also offended by his claim that the Philadelphia Eagles were better than the Kansas City Chiefs, as Swift is dating Chiefs' player Travis Kelce. The Chiefs and Eagles have a rivalry, with the Chiefs winning the 2023 Super Bowl against the Eagles.

Zach Bryan’s X account has since been deactivated. Meanwhile, the singer continued to praise Ye on his Instagram stories. The musician featured his older songs Good Life, I Thought About Killing You, All Mine, and Ghost Town on his Instagram account, which remained active at the time of writing this article.

Now, Swifties have taken to X to troll Zach Bryan relentlessly. Some tweets online read:

“got all brave just to wimp out and deactivate,” an X user said.

“He knew not to mess with the Swifties,” another platform user commented.

“desperate for attention,” a netizen commented.

For those uninitiated, Ye and Taylor Swift have been in an intense feud since the former interrupted the latter’s 2009 VMA acceptance speech, where he declared that Beyoncé was more deserving of Swift’s award. Meanwhile, other reactions to Bryan’s tweet read:

“Breaking: male Country artist has bad take. Oh wait, that’s to be expected,” an X user said.

“Country artists have bad takes. We know this,” another netizen said.

“What made him think posting this to TWITTER was a good idea,” a platform user said.

This is the first time Zach Bryan has seemingly dissed Taylor Swift publicly. Meanwhile, other reactions to his tweet read:

“Said something controversial and got triggered when people went against him. Good riddance,” an X user said.
