Zach Bryan Deactivates X Account After Controversial Kanye and Taylor Swift Tweet

Country star Zach Bryan has deactivated his X account following backlash over a controversial tweet comparing Kanye West to Taylor Swift. On September 18, Bryan posted a tweet stating, “eagles > chiefs” and “Kanye > Taylor,” and asked, “who’s with me?” This message sparked swift and intense reactions from Taylor Swift’s fans, who were quick to defend the singer and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Critics pointed out that Bryan's tweet offended both Swift and Kelce, leading to a flood of responses from the Swiftie community. Some fans expressed their disappointment, accusing Bryan of backing down after stirring controversy.

Bryan's Instagram, which remains active, reveals his recent fascination with Kanye West’s music. His latest Instagram Stories feature several of West’s older songs, including “Good Life” from 2007 and “I Thought About Killing You” from 2018.

The tweet's context involves the ongoing rivalry between the Eagles and Chiefs, intensified by the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs defeated the Eagles. Additionally, the tension between Swift and West dates back to the 2009 MTV VMAs, where West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech. Their relationship saw ups and downs, including a fallout over West’s song “Famous” and a leaked phone call recorded by Kim Kardashian. Despite a brief reconciliation, their feud continues to resurface, with recent references in West’s music and Swift’s creative projects.
