From Spicy Wings to Super Bowls: Inside MGK’s Bond with Taylor Swift

Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) recently made headlines for his unwavering admiration for pop sensation Taylor Swift and his refusal to partake in any negative discourse involving her loyal fanbase, the Swifties.

During an appearance on Hot Ones Versus with fellow artist Trippie Redd, the “Don’t Let Me Go” singer was posed with a challenging ultimatum: name three negative aspects about Taylor Swift or consume a spicy chicken wing. Demonstrating his loyalty and respect for Swift, MGK firmly declined the opportunity to engage in any negativity, stating, “you have got to be out of your motherf–king mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase.”

In a direct address to the camera, the 34-year-old artist continued, “Taylor is a saint and very nice to me,” emphasizing his positive interactions with the “Fortnight” singer. MGK also expressed his camaraderie with Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a fellow Cleveland native, referring to him as “my bro.”

Despite jests from Trippie Redd suggesting otherwise, MGK reiterated Taylor’s kindness, stating, “Bro, she’s very nice. She’s very, very nice.” Ultimately, the rapper chose to eat the spicy chicken wing, showcasing his respect for Taylor and her fanbase.

This is not the first time MGK has publicly praised the talents and character of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. In November, he offered a generous incentive for Travis to join the Cleveland Browns football team, demonstrating his support for his hometown and friendship with the couple.

Further solidifying their bond, MGK and Travis enjoyed a double date with Taylor and his fiancée, Megan Fox, in Las Vegas following Travis’ Super Bowl victory in February.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s friendship blossomed in July 2023 when Travis attended Taylor’s Eras Tour performance in Kansas City, Missouri. Despite missing an opportunity to present Taylor with a friendship bracelet, Travis spoke fondly of their encounter on his podcast, expressing admiration for Taylor’s dedication to her craft.

As MGK’s positive sentiments toward Taylor Swift continue to garner attention, fans eagerly anticipate more heartwarming moments from their evolving friendship.
