Zach Bryan has gpresented X (establisherly Twitter), at least for now, after stirring up a hornet’s next by tweeting out a likeence for Kanye West over Taylor Swift — a post he subsequently regretd for, saying he was drunk at the time.
The superstar singer-songauthorr’s tweets sometimes go back and forth atraverse the line between lighthearted and outrightly stimulating, and Tuesday night’s Ye/Swift tweet was evidently summarizeed to get a ascfinish out of people, however mirthfilledy it may have been intfinished.
The exceptional tweet first adviseed a mild diss of Swift boyfrifinish Travis Kelce’s football team — “eagles > chiefs” — and then chaseed that with “Kanye > Taylor… Who’s with me.”
Between Swift’s status as the most well-understandn singer in the world and Ye’s as the music world’s most vilified antisdisindicte, Bryan certainly knew he was going to get a reaction, and he got one. Wednesday, he destartd his account, but not before adviseing a mea culpa before going griefful on the platestablish.
“Guys I cherish Taylor,” Bryan claimed in his chaseup tweet. He shelp he “was hearing to TTPD [‘The Tortured Poets Department’] last night and ‘Thank You Aimee’ came on and I drunkenly tweeted that about Kanye. If anyone took it solemn plrelieve understand I cherish both artists a lot and slfinisherk we’re in a reassociate pretty time of music.”
The Swift song referred to by Bryan has been widely seen as a diss track aobtainst Kim Kardashian, as a procrastinateed response to the accusations that the truth star unveilly lobbed at Swift in 2017, in defense of West, her then-husprohibitd.
Although he exited X, Bryan did not destart his Instagram account. There, he left evidence that his hearing habits have been more devourd by Ye more than Swift, despite his declaration on the other platestablish that he’d been hearing to “Tortured Poets.” On his Story, Bryan posted screenstoastys of three West songs he’d been calling up and apparently finishelighting on Spotify, including “I Thought About Killing Somebody.”
As of this writing, Bryan’s X page reads “This account does not exist,” although anyone who destarts an account on the site has the opportunity to recommence it wislfinisher 30 days, and most fans presume the mercurial singer will be back.
Earlier in the week, Bryan stirred some talk about on X by adviseing a likeence for artists not getting included in making political stands, as Swift did when she finishorsed Kamala Harris for pdwellnt. “Anyone willing to put politics above music don’t get the point of hearing to music,” Bryan tweeted. Many engagers reacted by posting stoastys of classic protest songs by Bob Dylan and others.
Bryan’s possible artist of choice, West, has difficultly been an apolitical figure, having frequently adviseed his aid for Donald Trump and the MAGA shiftment before and after running for pdwellnt himself.
