Twitter

Taylor Swift fans are taking a stance against Burger King after the fast food chain tweeted a snarky comment about her songs.

A response on Twitter by fast food giant Burger King concerning pop star Taylor Swift has angered her fans, so much so that #BurgerKingIsOverParty trended on social media with many pouring in reactions to what was considered an insult to Taylor.

A Taylor fan asked Burger King to name their favourite song by the singer songwriter. In response Burger King's official handle wrote, "The one about her ex."

The controversy — which resulted in the trending hashtag, #BurgerKingIsOverParty — began when someone on Twitter asked the Burger King account what its favorite song from the pop star is. The account replied, “The one about her ex.”

The original tweets have now been deleted, but Swift’s fans reacted quickly to the comment on Wednesday.

One user wrote that Burger King’s remark was “sexist,” while a different fan added “After all this Burger King controversy...now I want McDonald’s.”

Swift has previously slammed "very sexist" opinions about her work, saying many male artists write and release songs about exes but don't face the same criticism as female artists.

"You're going to have people who are gonna say, ‘Oh you know, like she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends,' and I think, frankly, that's just a very sexist angle to take," she told Australian radio show Jules, Merrick & Sophie. "No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says it about Bruno Mars. They're all writing about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life and no one raises a red flag there."

Meanwhile, others used the hashtag to criticize Swift fans.

“There’s black people that are dying because of white racist police officers and instead of rising awareness and talk about it, y’all are trying to cancel Burger King... unbelievable,” someone posted to Twitter, seemingly referencing the news of George Floyd’s death.
