Haters gonna hate… and as it turns out, Taylor Swift’s fans are gonna hate too.

Fans of the popstar have been left fuming after the 35-year-old and her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce were snapped with MAGA podcasters Taylor Lewan and Will Compton at a recent event.

Swift was performing at Kelce’s yearly Tight End University event in Nashville on Tuesday night.

It was the first time Swift had sung publicly since the end of her sold-out worldwide Eras Tour, and she performed an acoustic rendition of her hit song Shake It Off.

Whilst some fans were thrilled to see her performing again – and to be out supporting her boyfriend – many were shocked by the friendly behind-the-scenes snap of Swift and Kelce alongside Bussin’ With The Boys podcasters Lewan and Compton.

In the snap, shared to Instagram, Swift, Kelce, Compton, and Lewan all stood next to each other flexing their muscles with a steely gaze towards the camera.

The picture has made the rounds on social media, with fans calling out the star – who has previously endorsed Democratic nominees during presidential campaigns – for her chummy snap with the podcasters, who have shown their support for Donald Trump in the past.

During his campaign last year, the pair shared a video of Trump shaking both of their hands, excitedly sharing the clip on social media, writing: ‘Firm handshakes for The Boys and 47,’ along with an emoji of the American flag.

‘Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift flexing with Barstool MAGA podcaster influencer bros Taylor Lewan and Will Compton,’ a post shared to Reddit, alongside the picture, read.

And it sparked fury with her fans.

‘Taylor Swift is so aware about when she is seen and who she is seen with. She curates her persona so carefully and while she may not be MAGA she is okay with being aligned with MAGA. Complicit queen,’ snarked one user.

Another declared: ‘These are not random dudes. They are known and have a platform.

‘She went incognito for months so she chooses when she wants to be photographed. Taylor is okay with being associated with these guys.’

‘Her fans doing mental gymnastics to defend this and calling her their favorite billionaire is very vomit inducing,’ wrote another.

But others defended the singer, pointing out she has made some political statements in the past.

‘She endorsed Kamala and got s**t from MAGA so really… it’s just a question of being out in the world and interacting with people who also exist,’ wrote a fan.

In September, Swift famously endorsed democratic nominee Kamala Harris, just moments after the 2024 presidential debate.

The megastar made the bombshell announcement on Instagram after the ABC showdown where Trump accused migrants of eating pets and said Democrats wanted to ‘execute babies’ in the ninth month of pregnancy.

Swift’s Tuesday performance was alongside Kane Brown at ‘Tight End and Friends’ – a show hosted by Kelce as part of his NFL event in Music City.

Kelce and Swift had earlier been pictured arriving at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where it seemed like Swift was purely just supporting Kelce for a cause close to his heart.

Singers such as Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice were all listed to perform at the venue, where Swift was first spotted enjoying the night in the VIP section.

Jordan Davis also played and welcomed country star Luke Combs onto the stage but Swift’s involvement had been kept a secret – if it was even scheduled at all.

Swift told the crowd ‘we planned that three minutes ago’ shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers. Just when it seemed like Brown was finishing his set, Swift ignited a frenzy when she walked out for one more song and played an acoustic guitar belonging to Rice. She dedicated it ‘to our favorite players’ before launching into a rendition of one of her biggest hits and sending the crowd wild.
