Kid Rock took an offensive and uncalled for jab at Taylor Swift and her acting career late last week. As expected, Kid Rock immediately faced backlash for his insulting tweet and learned that Taylor Swift fans are a forced to be reckoned with. Kid Rock’s tweet sparked an outpouring of love and support for the “You Need To Calm Down” singer. The tweet sparked the viral hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsAdoredParty where fans expressed their undying love for Taylor.
Kid Rock drafted a distasteful tweet about Taylor’s acting career. “Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,” he wrote. “And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there.”
Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.

Kacey Musgraves spoke out in support of Swift, too. At first, a photo surfaced online that showed she had liked Kid Rock’s tweet, but the singer explained it had been photoshopped. “I would never support any message promoting such disgusting misogyny,” she explained.

Kid Rock has stayed silent following his tweet, but it could be that he’s just trying to lay low following the onslaught of backlash.
