MGK Doesn't Hesitate When Asked for ‘Mean Things’ About Taylor Swift
Machine Gun Kelly, Taylor Swift.
Machine Gun Kelly, also known as MGK, didn't hesitate to turn down the opportunity to bash Taylor Swift.
During an appearance on "Hot Ones Versus," MGK's competitor, rapper Trippie Redd, attempted to get him to say "three mean things" about the international pop superstar, but instead, the "my ex's best friend" singer came to her defense.
"You offered to pay $1 million if Travis Kelce would come play for the Cleveland Browns," Trippie said of statements MGK previously made to encourage the NFL star and boyfriend of the "Fortnight" songstress to leave his current position with the Kansas City Chiefs and join his preferred team. "Burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift."
Unfortunately for the "Miss the Rage" rapper, MGK wasn't about to spark some bad blood between himself and the Swifties, the 14-time Grammy winner, or her three-time Super Bowl champ boyfriend.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf----ing mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase," he joked. "Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me and Travis is my bro."
MGK only doubled down after his competitor told him to "kiss her feet while you're at it."
"Jesus Christ. Bro, she's very nice," the 34-year-old musician said. "She's very, very nice."
MGK must've known that the snark wouldn't stop unless he put a forceful end to it, so he shut down the conversation with conviction by harmonizing some of the lyrics to Swift's hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" off her 2012 album Red.
"I'm just going to eat a chicken wing," he said before singing, "Trouble, trouble."
Since releasing her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, on April 19, the megastar has been raking in the headlines as the subject of both nice and not-so-nice discussions.
However, the love shared for Swift and her work certainly appears to outnumber any negative comments.
