Cam Stewart, co-host of the Drew & Stew Podcast, is under fire after making a controversial comment about Taylor Swift, sparking outrage among her loyal fans.
During a recent episode, Stewart expressed his frustration with Swift’s frequent appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games, where she supports her rumored partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While Swift’s presence has thrilled many fans, it has also generated mixed reactions, especially for Stewart.
Stewart’s Comments Go Beyond Simple Criticism
What started as a critique quickly escalated. Discussing the upcoming Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game, Stewart shared his dissatisfaction with the Chiefs, stating, “Honest to God, Kansas City fans, it’s not personal. If I meet a Kansas City fan, you could be the nicest guy in the world. I hate your team and I hate the way they’re getting benefits from the NFL.” He added, “Buffalo, knock these [expletives] around. I want Mahomes on the deck.”
Then, when the topic of Swift attending the game surfaced, Stewart’s comments took a more troubling turn. He remarked dismissively, “Oh, who cares? Throw her into the Niagara Falls.” This offhand statement quickly set off a storm among Swift’s passionate fanbase, the “Swifties,” who found his comment disrespectful and offensive.
Swifties Rally Against Stewart’s Remark
The reaction from Swift’s fans was swift and fierce. Many took to Twitter and other platforms, labeling Stewart’s words as harsh and unnecessary. Known for their dedication, Swifties warned Stewart of potential backlash, with some suggesting his comments were designed to grab attention. “Swifties can unleash hell on those who come after her,” one user noted, reflecting the intense support the fanbase has for their idol.
Some fans believe Stewart’s comments were less about Swift and more about his desire to gain visibility through controversy, accusing him of crossing the line for attention. Others criticized him for targeting such a widely adored public figure.
Stewart’s Attempt at Damage Control Falls Flat
Although Stewart later tried to downplay his comments as a joke, the damage was done. Most of Swift’s fans were not amused, viewing his remarks as a targeted jab rather than light-hearted banter.
So far, Swift has remained silent on the issue, adhering to her usual approach of not addressing provocations publicly. However, the controversy has cast Stewart in a negative light, and some speculate whether he will ultimately apologize for his remarks.
This episode underscores the significant impact a single comment can have on social media, especially when it involves someone as high-profile as Taylor Swift.
