Zach Bryan apologizes after controversial Taylor Swift, Kanye West social media post: ‘Don’t drink and tweet’
Country music star deactivates X account after ‘drunkenly’ tweeting Kanye West is better than Taylor Swift

Country music singer Zach Bryan is in hot water after he compared Taylor Swift to Kanye West in a now-deleted social media post.

Earlier this week, Bryan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, “eagles > chiefs, Kanye > Taylor, who’s with me,” according to Variety.

In the social media post, Bryan appeared to target a few elements in Swift’s life — including her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Swift additionally has a tense history with West, especially after he interrupted her at the 2009 MTV VMAs, and she’s been the subject of several of his diss tracks.

Since the controversial social media post, the country star deactivated his X account and apologized to Swift fans for his tweet.

“For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,” Bryan wrote on top of a screengrab of Swift’s song with Post Malone, “Fortnight,” on Instagram. “I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong.”

“For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night. I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong.”

“Twitter gets me in trouble too much and I’d say it’s best I stay off it,” he penned. “I’m sorry to any Taylor fans I p—ed off or let down. Love you guys and I’m trying my best!”

Bryan went on to candidly share that he’s currently experiencing a difficult time in his life and pleaded with his fans.
