County music artist Zach Bryan apologized to Taylor Swift fans after ‘drunkenly’ texted on his X account that he believes Kanye West makes better music than the pop superstar.
Before he de-activated his X account, Bryan scrambled to save himself, posting:
“guys I love Taylor, was listening to TTPD [‘The Tortured Poets Department’] last night and thank you aimee came on and I drunkenly tweeted that about Kanye. If anyone took it serious please know I love both artists a lot and think we’re in a really beautiful time of music.”
Further explaining himself on his Instagram account, the ‘Something In Orange’ singer pleaded:
“for the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night. I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong,” the country singer wrote alongside a screenshot of Swift’s song “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone from her ‘Tortured Poets Department’ record.
Still trying to repair the damage, Bryan pleaded: “I love Taylor’s music and pray you guys know I’m human and tweet stupid things often. Hope one day I can explain this to her.”
