Zach Bryan Tweeted "Kanye > Taylor" and Was Immediately Bullied Into Multiple Public Apologies and Deletion of His Twitter Account

I'm honestly not positive if I'm "allowed" to be blogging about anybody involved in this story. I'm pretty sure I'm good to do Kanye at this point. It was touch and go with him for a while there during his whole, "The Holocaust was actually kinda chill" phase. But now that he's heavily addicted to nitrous and half his brain is missing and the other half is under the spell of a jacked celebrity dentist, the editors seem to be letting me get away with it.

Zach Bryan is dating Barstool Sports employee Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, who's at minimum 1,000x more important to Barstool than I am. Which I'm assuming is why nobody has blogged this yet. If we're being honest, a Zach Bryan + Taylor Swift + Kanye West blog is like blog created in a Barstool Sports lab. But I'm on Zach's side here so I think I'm ok.

And Taylor Swift-wise... I haven't cleared this blog with the Kelly or Gia yet. And after watching Dante tweet the other day about how he thought Dua Lipa took a harmless dig at Taylor Swift, only to be bullied into a public apology himself by Kelly Keegs in less than an hour... 

I'm just not looking for any smoke. I come in peace girls. I'm just going to quickly address all parties involved and get out of here


Zach Bryan - Congratulations on deleting your Twitter. Deleting social media is the healthiest decision a person can make. But there's nothing wrong with tweeting "Kanye > Taylor". I agree with you music wise. Certainly not human being wise. Kanye is a much better musical artist than a person. Same with Taylor, considering she's in the top like 0.000001% of musical artists of all time. She would have to be Mother Theresa herself to be a better person than artist. But I digress. 

I probably wouldn't have tweeted that right now, because the internet is obviously going to make it a political. To be honest, I was originally going to say something like, "C'mon man… don't get bullied off the internet for such an innocuous tweet. That's soft." However, the more I thought about it, you're a country music superstar with millions dollars in the bank. If I tweeted a completely harmless opinion, and was inundated with responses like this…

I'd probably think, "Wait a second. What the fuck am I doing here? I don't need this at all. I'm a millionaire. Later, X."  

But I will say, the multiple follow up apologies seemed a bit excessive.

You'd think he threatened a cop or something. If anything you should apologize for your Eagles > Chiefs take. That's just objectively false. You're allowed to have an opinion on music though. But realistically, the apologies were probably smart. You make a drunk tweet you wish you didn't… Throw out a few apologies… Delete your Twitter… Push the incident out of your brain… Everybody forgets about it in a week or two. And in the end, like almost everything on the internet, it won't end up mattering in the slightest. 


Taylor Swift - You really have nothing to do with this. My fiancée says hello.


Swifties - I know 99.99% of you aren't attacking Zach Bryan on the internet. But if you are attacking Zach Bryan on the internet…. honestly I just don't care at all. Keep doing you. 


Kanye - Hi Kanye. Hope you're having a ok brain day. Hello Kanye's PR team who reads every single article about Kanye that's ever been posted on the internet. Good luck with the Diddy fallout. 


In conclusion, I personally think it's ok to enjoy the music of both Taylor Swift and Kanye. I'm getting married next year, and there will be a Taylor Swift song, and a Kanye song featured during prominent moments of the evening. Somehow we've defied the odds and have managed to look past our favorite musical artists' celebrity beef and learned to love each other despite their difference. Fucking crazy I know. It's almost rational.
