Taylor Swift is facing criticism after appearing in a photo with boyfriend Travis Kelce alongside former NFL players Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, the hosts of the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast. The backlash stems from Lewan’s public support for President Donald Trump, contrasting with the pop icon’s Democratic endorsements.
So, how have fans reacted to Swift’s latest snap with Lewan? Here’s everything we’ve discovered on the same.
Fans react to Taylor Swift posing with Taylor Lewan
The “Bad Blood” singer’s fans have mixed reactions regarding her proximity with prominent MAGA “supporters” Taylor Lewan and Will Compton. Recently, she performed at her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Tight End University’s after-event festivities.
After her surprise Nashville performance, Taylor Swift posed with several NFL stars. Among those, Bussin’ With The Boys hosts Lewan and Compton took to Instagram to post their group picture that included her and Kelce.
The photo captioned as “Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS” has sparked debate among fans about Swift’s political consistency and choice of public associations. While some fans are excited about the 14-time Grammy winner’s socializing, others feel it does not send the right message.
One fan commented on the Instagram post, “Love the Boys and love Taylor! Amazing how you cannot agree on everything but still be friends/respectful/kind!” Meanwhile, another echoed the sentiment, writing, “That’s a win for the boys.”
However, the “Mirrorball” hitmaker has also faced backlash from some netizens. One fan posted on Reddit, “The fact that she still associates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her.”
On the other hand, some fans have argued that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s “five-second” pose with any individual does not indicate her political stance. She performed at the Tight Ends and Friends benefit concert to support her partner as well as various charity causes.
Additionally, fans have brought back Taylor Lewan’s past actions, which include facing three misdemeanor charges. The former University of Michigan football star faced multiple charges stemming from an incident on December 1, 2013. (via ESPN)
Nevertheless, George Kittle, one of the co-founders of Tight End University, praised Taylor Swift’s kindness and passionate participation. He gushed, “Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice.”
