In the latest episode of “Celebrities and Internet Rumors,” country music icon Reba McEntire found herself debunking a rather spicy piece of gossip. The rumor mill had churned out a story claiming that McEntire called pop superstar Taylor Swift an “entitled little brat” over her alleged Super Bowl shenanigans. But before you grab your popcorn and settle in for a celebrity feud, let’s set the record straight.
McEntire, who doubles as a coach on “The Voice,” took to social media to clear the air, firmly stating that the internet got it wrong this time. “Please don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. I did not say this,” McEntire clarified, defending Swift as a “wonderful artist, strong role model” and a beacon of positivity in the music industry.
The original hullabaloo stemmed from a post on the America Loves Liberty Facebook page, which fabricated a story about McEntire’s supposed disappointment with Swift’s behavior during the Super Bowl. The post described a scenario where McEntire was appalled to see Swift, who was there cheering on her beau Travis Kelce, drinking and not taking “The Star-Spangled Banner” seriously.
However, this tall tale quickly unraveled when McEntire herself called it out for what it was—a complete fabrication. The Facebook page later admitted to the post’s satirical nature, acknowledging McEntire’s response and expressing admiration for her work.
This isn’t the first time McEntire has publicly expressed her admiration for Swift. In the past, she lauded Swift’s talent and foresaw her meteoric rise to stardom, recalling her first live performance at the CMA Awards. It’s clear that McEntire holds Swift in high regard, both as an artist and as a person.
So, there you have it—another day, another debunked celebrity rumor. In a world where the line between fact and fiction often blurs, it’s a gentle reminder not to believe everything you read on the internet, even if it’s about two of the music industry’s biggest stars. And for Swift and McEntire, it seems their mutual respect is still very much intact, despite the internet’s best efforts to stir the pot.
