Zach Bryan is no stranger to controversy, and his latest Twitter debacle has fans buzzing. The country music star caused a stir after posting a string of late-night tweets in which he praised Kanye West, igniting a heated backlash from Taylor Swift fans. In a tweet that quickly went viral, Bryan declared “Kanye > Taylor,” referencing the infamous Kanye and Taylor VMA moment that Swifties haven’t forgotten.
It all started when Bryan tweeted that he “misses Ye everyday,” clarifying shortly after that he doesn’t endorse Kanye’s more controversial beliefs but misses the rapper’s music: “Don’t support Ye, I miss Ye.” That didn’t stop Swift fans from piling on, accusing Bryan of supporting Kanye over Swift.
Rather than ignoring the backlash, Bryan—known for his unfiltered social media presence—jumped into the fray, defending his tweets and trying to clarify his stance. However, after the situation escalated, he ultimately decided to deactivate his account, a move that’s becoming a pattern whenever his online antics draw too much attention. It seems now he has given a full fledged apology.
While Zach Bryan’s Twitter drama may have temporarily quieted down, it’s only a matter of time before he’s back with more provocative posts that keep fans talking.
