The music world was taken aback when fans of country music sensation Morgan Wallen booed pop icon Taylor Swift at a concert in Indianapolis. The incident occurred when Wallen, known for his hit song “Wasted on You,” made a joke about Swift during his performance at Lucas Oil Stadium.
What Led to the Booing Incident at the Indianapolis Show?
Wallen was quoted as saying, “This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row.” He then added, “I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town.” This statement was met with a mixed reaction from the crowd. While many fans cheered in support of Swift, a significant number started booing.
Wallen, surprised by the reaction, quickly responded, “We ain’t got to boo, we ain’t got to boo,” and added, “I appreciate that. I know y’all got my back, though.” It was clear that the singer was taken aback by the response and was quick to defuse the situation.
How Did the Internet React to the Incident?
The incident quickly made its way to the internet, where fans of both artists had a lot to say. Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, were quick to defend their idol. Comments flooded in, with one user stating, “Taylor Swift has more class than you and your fans.” Another added, “She would never insult you, even though you deserve to be. Drop Taylor’s name to get your name out there.”
It’s well-known that Swift has a strong bond with her fans and often puts them before anyone else. Some fans even warned those who booed, saying they will “cough” in three days. The meaning behind this statement remains unclear.
