Megyn Kelly was not impressed with nation music star Zach Bryan after he apologized and deactivated his social media account in response to backlash for saying that he favored Kanye “Ye” West greater than Taylor Swift.
“Oh my god, I’m sorry, Zach Bryan, where are your balls? Mankind would like to know,” the journalist who hosts the SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” stated throughout her Thursday broadcast.
Bryan, the nation singer-songwriter identified for hits together with “Heading South” and “Condemned,” provoked Swift followers after he posted an merchandise on X indicating that he most well-liked the rapper often called Ye over their iconic pop star.
“Eagles > chiefs, Kanye > Taylor,” Bryan wrote on his X account on Sept. 17, including: “Who’s with me.”
The Eagles was a reference to the Philadelphia soccer staff whereas the Chiefs are their rivals from Kansas Metropolis. Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, performs for the Chiefs.
Earlier this week, the 28-year-old Bryan recanted, providing a prolonged apology on Instagram wherein he claimed that he was drunk when he posted the merchandise on X that infuriated the “Swifties.”
“This was very dumb, Zach,” Kelly stated on her present on Thursday.
Kelly then took situation with the backlash, saying: “The nerve. That sexist pig…”
“Zach, the internet is not with you because you apparently are not allowed to make negative comments about Taylor Swift,” she stated, including: “Well, guess what, internet? We do it here all the time!”
Kelly stated that Bryan’s transfer to deactivate his social media in response to the backlash confirmed an absence of braveness.
“Oh, my God, I miss the real men. I’m sorry, Zach, but I miss real men,” Kelly stated.
The host stated she had “secondhand embarrassment” for Bryan after he “issued a profuse apology on his Instagram page.”
“Bryan poured his heart out, apparently hoping to stop the Swift mob from their hideous attacks…” Kelly stated.
She added: “Bring back our men!…”
In his apology, Bryan sought to make clear that his admiration for Ye was inventive, and that he didn’t agree with antisemitic statements made by the rapper lately.
“For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,” he wrote.
“I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong. I know there’s a lot of stuff that clouds around Ye and I was speaking purely musically.”
Bryan added that he “love[s] Taylor’s music and pray[s] you guys know I’m human and tweet stupid things often.”
“Hope one day I can explain this to her,” the nation music star wrote on Instagram.
“Twitter gets me in trouble too much and I’d say it’s best I stay off it. I’m sorry to any Taylor fans I pissed off or let down.”
Ye and Swift are thought-about rivals ever because the former interrupted her acceptance speech on the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
