Zach Bryan’s Kanye Over Taylor Tweet: A Messy Night on Twitter

September 20, 2024

So, Zach Bryan stirred up some major drama the other night with a tweet that had Swifties and sports fans spiraling. He tweeted: “I choose the Eagles over the Chiefs. Kanye over Taylor. Who’s with me?” Cue immediate backlash. The internet came for him fast, and he quickly deleted the tweet, but not before the damage was done.

The fact that he compared Kanye West to Taylor Swift—given their history? Yikes. Everyone knows that’s a no-go zone.

After deleting the tweet, Zach Bryan went on a wild apology spree. He tweeted about how much he loves Taylor, referencing The Tortured Poets Department (which sounds like an album he had on repeat in the emotional chaos). Then he gave a shoutout to Amy, whoever that is, and admitted that he was drunk when he tweeted the whole mess. In true “uh-oh” fashion, he deactivated his account right after.

Fast forward, and now Zach is practically begging for forgiveness on his Instagram stories, apologizing to Taylor and everyone who’s dragging him for the post. And honestly? We’ve never seen a dude apologize this hard after a slip-up. He wasn’t saving face; he owned it—saying it was a dumb, insensitive move, and that it came out wrong because he was comparing albums not artists.

Here’s the thing: Zach has been open about going through a tough time personally. He even admitted that the whole situation stemmed from a bad place, and his frustration just poured out in a reckless tweet. Look, we don’t know these artists personally, and Zach is clearly being super candid about what he’s going through.

Does He Deserve a Hall Pass? Not Exactly, But…

Don’t get it twisted—this isn’t about giving Zach a free pass. When people come for Taylor, it’s never going to be taken lightly (especially by the Swifties). But, based on his apologies, it seems like Zach genuinely realizes how wrong he was. He’s not trying to be defensive or play it cool—he’s being real about messing up.

So, while we’re all here to protect Taylor’s honor, maybe take it easy on Zach. It looks like he’s sincerely owning his mistake and just having a rough moment.
