The remark sparked immediate backlash from Swift’s devoted fanbase. Social media users flooded the comments section to call out Bayless for his comments, which many found disrespectful and unnecessary.
“Skip, nobody cares what you and your wife think,” one user wrote. “To each his own. Yawn-worthy.”
Another commenter added, “You don’t have to like her music, but to talk about her looks seems gross.” The sentiment was echoed by many, who felt that Bayless’s critique crossed a line.
