> During a video interview with i-D Magazine, Hutcherson and his castmate Jordan Firstman played a game of camera roll roulette and Hutcherson pulled up a photo of him and his mom in the VIP section at Swift’s Era Tour in New Orleans. “My mom made me,” Hutcherson said of the concert, prompting Firstman to ask if he’s a fan of the pop star. “I’m not a Swiftie,” Hutcherson replied. “Very much not. No shade, all respect, but definitely not.”
> This prompted a firestorm on social media, with some fans calling for Hutcherson to be canceled for accepting VIP tickets when he’s not really a fan. Responding to the backlash, Hutcherson told GQ: “I got some heat because I did a photo shoot with Jordan, and Jordan asked me something about being a [Taylor Swift fan], and I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m definitely not a Swiftie,’” he said. “All of a sudden it garnered this, ‘Fuck him! He’s a monster! Destroy him! He’s short! He hates her because he’s short!’ [He is five feet five.] “It’s just like, whoa! I think she’s great. Her music is not my kind of music. That is why I don’t want to be online.”
My dad hated Taylor Swift. I didn’t care either way. He passed away last year. I carry his torch for him. Shut up Taylor Swift, you stink!
did taylor ever say to stop or did she just let her fans run riot over this guy? geez
Her fans are someone of the most toxic people
He also hates Beyoncé. I think he just likes to be a contrarian. Like who you like, dislike who you don’t. No need to announce it.
How dare this guy not be into music made for women! What a monster.
Not liking and hating are really two different things.
I’m not a fan of her, but I don’t hate her music. It’s just not my thing. I do think her music is better than most modern mainstream music, and she certainly has talent. I feel the same about most mainstream popular artists nowadays as well. I don’t think I actually hate any of them though.
Rabid fans are never to be trusted for opinion regarding their chosen obsessions.
I wouldn’t ask a feral cats opinion on a chicken drumstick it was tearing into. I won’t ask an obsessive fan their opinion of their chosen obsession.
And that’s about as far as this thought process needs to go. The rest is rage bait, engagement bait, and constructed drama.
I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but her music sucks ass now, especially this “Showgirl” album, so he’s not wrong.
This is so weird. He’s a 33 year old man.
Other fans are why I don’t openly claim to be a fan of anything anymore.
Burn the heretic!
I pity that footballer Fiancé of hers whenever they breakup…
