Machine Gun Kelly, known by his real name Colson Baker, found himself in a tricky spot when asked to say negative things about Taylor Swift. The request came during an eating contest against Trippie Redd on Hot Ones, where the musician was vying for victory.

Amidst the competition, Redd prodded MGK to “burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift.” However, MGK skillfully sidestepped the demand, considering his mouth was preoccupied with the challenge of enduring scorching hot sauce. Instead, he diplomatically declined, acknowledging Swift’s saintly reputation and his friendship with Travis Kelce.

In his response, MGK humorously remarked, “Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf**king mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase. Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me and Travis is my bro.”

It was a wise move on MGK’s part, recognizing the formidable power of Swift’s devoted fanbase, affectionately dubbed the Swifties. With their unwavering loyalty to their idol, Swifties could potentially mobilize en masse and conquer nations if she commanded. MGK wisely chose not to provoke the passionate Swifties, understanding the potential consequences of inciting their fervor.

The interaction highlighted the influence and adoration surrounding Taylor Swift, illustrating the importance of tact and diplomacy, especially when dealing with such a formidable fanbase. MGK’s decision to take the high road in this instance demonstrates a savvy understanding of the dynamics at play in the realm of celebrity culture.
