she swears there isn’t bad blood among them.
Reba McEntire has denied allegations that she called Taylor Swift an “entitled brat” at the 2024 Super Bowl after the country singer’s performance of the National Anthem.
“Please don’t believe everything you see on the Internet,” McEntire, 68, wrote on an Instagram post on Saturday. “I didn’t say this. Taylor is a wonderful artist, a strong role model and she has done a lot of good for a lot of people and the music industry.”
McEntire’s response comes after a Facebook group called America Loves Liberty claimed that McEntire was “disappointed” with the way the “Bejeweled” singer acted during her performance.
“Reba McIntire talks about how disappointed she was when she looked at the big screen while performing the National Anthem, only to see Taylor Swift laughing, drinking and making fun of the event,” the post reads, before claiming that McEntire responded: “I “Let her have it later. She’s an entitled brat.”
Swift was actually in a very good mood during the game. While McEntire sang, she was seen standing next to her best friend Blake Lively with her hand over her heart.
Swift was there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who ultimately beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.
“It’s very funny how many people blindly believe in a meme,” one Facebook user commented on the accusation. “Especially one that mocks your preconceived notions.”
“They spelled your name McIntire. Such a made up story AND a lazy proofreader,” a second person on Instagram laughed.
“As soon as I saw this stupid story I knew it was lies,” a third fan proclaimed, “@reba leads the industry with class, she would never do something like that. “People have to get a life.”
The controversial group responded to the comments.
“Oh my. Reba McEntire herself responded to our nonsense,” they wrote in a comment on Sunday while bleating that the post had been satire. “Thank you ma’am. We love your work. The article is as dumb as the headline for a reason.”
“It’s not supposed to be credible,” the comment continued. “Our fans were staunchly on your side long before this post.”
McEntire has always spoken fondly of Swift. Even before the big football game, he joked about the “All Too Well” singer’s relationship in an interview with Today.
“Oh my God, I’m so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” McEntire joked. “Now I can’t fall in love anymore because he’s dating her.”
Despite the joke, McEntire is quite happy with her own relationship with long-time boyfriend Rex Linn.
