Country music legend Reba McEntire recently refuted claims that she called Taylor Swift a 'spoiled brat.' The controversy arose from a post on social media that falsely attributed negative remarks to McEntire regarding Swift's behavior during a national anthem performance at the 2024 Super Bowl.
McEntire took to Instagram to clarify the situation, emphasizing that she did not make the alleged comments. She praised Swift as a talented artist, strong role model, and a positive influence in the music industry.
The post in question, originating from a Facebook group, accused McEntire of expressing disappointment in Swift's conduct during the anthem performance. However, images from the event showed Swift respectfully participating in the anthem alongside Blake Lively.
Supporters of McEntire quickly came to her defense on social media, pointing out the inaccuracies in the fabricated story. The country icon's fans reaffirmed their belief in her character and integrity.
McEntire, known for her hits like 'The Star-Spangled Banner' and 'I'm a Survivor,' has previously shown admiration for Swift. She expressed her desire for Swift to attend the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, despite the singer's commitments to her Eras Tour in Japan.
Additionally, McEntire humorously mentioned feeling envious of Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce, playfully stating that she had a crush on him. However, she clarified that her comments were made in jest and that she is happily involved in a long-term relationship with Rex Linn.
