Country Music Fans Revolt Against Taylor Swift, Erupt In Boos At Concert
Morgan Wallen fans had a strong reaction to a joke about Taylor Swift during a recent concert.
During an Indianapolis stop on his One Night at a Time Tour 2024, Wallen took a jab at the superstar pop singer in front of a sold-out crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row,” Wallen told the crowd, according to a TikTok video captured by a fan. “I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town in the fall,” he added with a laugh.
A small group of fans cheered for Swift, though there was a notable contingent who opted to boo instead. Wallen acknowledged the boos and sought to make clear that his joke was made in good fun, saying, “We ain’t gotta boo, we ain’t gotta boo.”
Before beginning a performance of “One Thing at a Time,” Wallen paused to thank his fans one more time. “I appreciate that. I know ya’ll got my back.”
While the quip was made in jest, it still angered a number of Taylor Swift fans. “When you sell out stadiums all over America and overseas, give me a call. Taylor Swift has some more class than you and your fans. She would never insult you, even though you deserve to be. Drop Taylor’s name to get your name out there. I don’t see you insulting any male artist,” wrote one X user.
Others defended Wallen in the video’s comment section. “He basically said he’s top dog for attendance of that stadium UNTIL Taylor Swift comes there in the fall lol relax swifties,” wrote one user.
Both artists kicked off massive international tours last year and have remained on the road ever since.
