Reba McEntire Shuts Down Fake News About Taylor Swift Feud
Country legend Reba McEntire took to Instagram on Saturday to debunk a fabricated social media story claiming a rift with pop star Taylor Swift.
The rumor, originating from a Facebook page called “America Loves Liberty,” alleged McEntire confronted Swift backstage after the 2024 Super Bowl for “laughing and drinking” during McEntire’s rendition of the national anthem.
McEntire addressed the situation directly, posting a screenshot of the fake story with the caption, “Please don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. I did not say this.”
The fabricated post further claimed Reba McEntire called Swift an “entitled little brat,” a claim the veteran singer refuted by praising Swift as a “wonderful artist, strong role model, and has done so much good for so many people and the music industry.”
The “America Loves Liberty” page, known for satirical content, later acknowledged the fabrication in a comment, stating, “The article is as silly as the headline for a reason. It’s not supposed to be believable.”
This incident highlights the importance of media literacy and verifying information before sharing online. McEntire’s swift response serves as a reminder to fans to be cautious of unsubstantiated stories, especially those designed to stir controversy.
