Reba McEntire will not stand for any Taylor Swift slander, and she made sure everyone knew it. After the satirical story from The Dunning-Kruger Times went viral, McEntire took to her Instagram page to dispel any notion of bad blood with Swift. The singer posted a screenshot of the misleading Facebook post, stating firmly in the caption, “Please don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. I did not say this.” In true McEntire fashion, the star then praised Swift, writing, “Taylor is a wonderful artist, a strong role model, and has done so much good for so many people and the music industry.”
McEntire’s response effectively put an end to the feud rumors, which were easily debunkable from the start. Notably, Swift was photographed during McEntire’s performance with her hand placed over her heart as she sang the National Anthem. Moreover, the misspelling of McEntire’s last name as “McIntire” throughout the fake piece should have quashed the alleged drama before it ever really took off.
After McEntire cleared the air publicly, her fans flooded the comments section of the Instagram post to showcase their support. “Reba is a very classy, nice woman. She would never say that,” argued one user, while another pointed out, “Anyone who would believe that Reba said that doesn’t know anything about Reba.” Interestingly, even the original poster of the story shared their two cents on Facebook.
