Twitter, Elon Musk commented on pop superstar Taylor Swift’s recent appearances at NFL games, stating, “I’d rather break my leg than see Taylor Swift during an NFL game.”

The billionaire and tech tycoon’s comment quickly became one of the platform’s top trending topics, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the unexpected sentiment.

Since Elon Musk’s $44bn acquisition of X last year, the platform has undergone a series of notable changes, from overhauling the verification system to the reinstatement of former US President Donald Trump.

Musk has not only gutted trust and safety teams but also installed a new CEO, former NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino, making his influence felt in both operational and content aspects of the platform.

With this fresh comment about Swift, Musk further establishes his fearless approach to sharing personal opinions on X, regardless of public perception.

Taylor Swift, meanwhile, has recently become a regular face at NFL games, particularly at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her budding relationship with the Chiefs’ All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has drawn considerable media attention. Swift’s appearances at these games, coupled with her high-profile relationship, have drawn an avalanche of media attention and a significant increase in game viewership.

An average of nearly 27 million viewers tuned into the Chiefs-Jets game, hoping to catch a glimpse of the music icon.
