Celebrities Call Out Kid Rock for Taylor Swift Comments

Singer Kid Rock made some controversial comments about Taylor Swift on Twitter on Friday causing many to call him out for his crudeness.

The tweets were likely in response to Swift’s September Vogue interview, where she states her reasoning for not endorsing a candidate in the 2016 election.

“Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement. He was going around saying, ‘I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.’ I just knew. I knew I wasn’t going to help,” Swift said. “Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was: ‘(Taylor Swift’s) calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.’ These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary (Clinton).”

She added, “Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses,” she said.

Swift also expressed her concerns about racism and discrimination against the LGBTQ community in the United States during the interview.

This is likely what prompted Kid Rock’s response, as he took to Twitter on Friday to bash Swift.

“Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,” he wrote. “And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl. -Kid Rock.”

Kid Rock has been an avid supporter of Donald Trump, and even visited the White House back in 2017.

Celebrities quickly jumped to Swift’s defense on social media. Chrissy Teigen wrote “you’re pathetic. – Chrissy Teigen,” while Sheryl Crow said “Spread love. Not hate. End of subject.”

“Literally any rock is better than Kid Rock,” Adam Best said. “Fraggle Rock, Jailhouse Rock, the Rock, Chris Rock, a small rock that flew up from the road and cracked my windshield.”

Swift will appear in the upcoming Cats movie. She has yet to respond to Kid Rock’s comments.
