Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has once again stirred controversy with his latest comment about pop icon Taylor Swift’s presence at NFL games. In a blunt remark that quickly went viral, Musk reportedly said, “I would rather break my leg than watch Taylor Swift in an NFL game.”
Musk vs. Swift: A New Celebrity Feud?
Taylor Swift, who has been a frequent presence at NFL games to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has sparked both excitement and criticism among fans. While many enjoy seeing the pop superstar in the stands, others—like Musk—seem less enthusiastic about her NFL connection.
Musk’s comment was met with mixed reactions. Some of his followers applauded his directness, while Swifties (Taylor Swift’s dedicated fanbase) quickly jumped to her defense, accusing him of unnecessary negativity.
Social Media Erupts
As expected, Musk’s remark ignited a firestorm on social media. Swift’s fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), defending their idol and calling out Musk for what they perceived as an unprovoked insult.
“Elon Musk can build rockets but can’t handle Taylor Swift at a football game? That’s weak,” one fan tweeted.
Meanwhile, Musk supporters defended his stance, with one user writing, “Finally, someone said it. The NFL is about football, not celebrity drama.”
Swift and Kelce Stay Unbothered
Despite the online drama, neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce have responded to Musk’s comments. The couple has continued to make headlines, with Swift attending multiple Chiefs games and bringing massive ratings boosts to the NFL.
Musk’s History of Bold Statements
This isn’t the first time Musk has made headlines with his outspoken opinions. From controversial political takes to unexpected pop culture commentary, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO is known for saying exactly what’s on his mind, no matter the backlash.
As for whether Musk will tune into the next Chiefs game? Given his recent statement, it seems highly unlikely.
