Tyler, the Creator has accused Taylor Swift's fanbase, known as 'Swifties', of attempting to 'cancel' him over his past controversial lyrics, which he addressed during a surprise Halloween concert in Boston. This backlash arose after Tyler briefly overtook Swift on Spotify’s global Top Artist chart following the release of his new album, Chromakopia. Tyler's contentious lyrics from his 2011 album, Goblin, include explicit references to Swift, which have resurfaced and sparked criticism. In response, Tyler criticized the Swifties for being 'racist' and expressed indifference to their attempts to bring up his past work, stating, 'They gonna bring out the old me'. Despite the controversy, Tyler plans to embark on a world tour to promote his latest album. Previous instances of criticism have included bans from the UK and New Zealand due to his lyrics, though he remains defiant against efforts to 'cancel' him.
