Morgan Wallen Fans 'Boo' Taylor Swift After He Jokes About Her at His Indianapolis Concert
During his recent concert in Indianapolis, Morgan Wallen fans expressed their opinions on Taylor Swift in a rather spiteful manner. According to Page Six, they booed Swift on Friday night after Wallen made a joke about the pop star. The incident occurred during a One Night at a Time Tour show at Lucas Oil Stadium when Wallen said, "This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row." He added, "I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town."
While some fans cheered at the mention of Swift, a vocal contingent booed her, creating a noticeable divide in the audience. However, Wallen emphasized that his joke was all in good fun. According to the Fox News, he said to the crowd, "We ain’t gotta boo, we ain’t gotta boo. I appreciate that. I know ya’ll got my back." Swifties didn't seem to appreciate Wallen's joke and quickly took to social media to defend the Lover hitmaker.
When you sell out stadiums all over America and overseas, give me a call. Taylor Swift has some more class than you and your fans. She would never insult you, even though you deserve to be. Drop Taylor’s name to get your name out there. I don’t see you insulting any male artist pic.twitter.com/xNORIfSPaO

While Wallen made history at the Indianapolis venue, Swift has also achieved remarkable feats in the past year. Additionally, Forbes named the Bad Blood singer a billionaire in April 2024, with a net worth of $1.1 billion. Her Eras Tour, which began in March 2023, had a significant impact on the US economy, with fans eagerly purchasing concert tickets, plane tickets, and hotel accommodations to see her perform nationwide.
