Bruno Mars reacts to claims about Taylor Swift
Bruno Mars debunks claims that he “liked” a Taylor Swift hate post. The post read, “Genuinely how did she get famous? White privilege is crazy because imagine if an Asian was as talentless as her.” Mars clarified, “Taylor has always been supportive and kind to me. Only love over here,” followed by a heart emoji.
In a follow-up post, the “Treasure” singer tweeted, “Spread love on these apps!” The Pop Flop wrote in their clarification, “The Instagram post contains an edited screenshot designed to appear as though it was posted by BTS’ official Twitter/X account. This post was never made by BTS’ official account on the platform.” However, the damage was done, as the post garnered 10K likes, 1K retweets, 1.7M views, and 345 comments as of writing.
Although Mars clarified that all is well with Swift, fans of both artists, as well as BTS, are unhappy with the fake news circulating on X. One fan quoted Swift’s “Anti Romantic” lyrics: “I know Taylor is blessed from above for being so kind and merciful to these jealous haters…?”
A second fan wrote, “And your intention is very clear: you wanted to bring hate to BTS and ARMY. But it backfired on you!” A third fan penned, “Now doing damage control, completely ignoring the actual issue. Why would you like a hate post about Tay, which is in fact edited with BTS’s account? If not to Taylor, did you want BTS to get hate by setting them up? People are not dvmb, Bruno—get your sh**s right.”
However, a few fans showed support to the “Count on Me” singer. One fan chimed in, “Bruno, you’re so supportive of your peers, and I don’t think you’ll ever mean anything hateful to anyone.” A second fan remarked, “Seeing two legends show this much mutual respect is exactly what the industry needs. True greatness always recognizes true greatness.”
