Nebraska Deletes Controversial Taylor Swift Engagement Tweet After Fan Backlash

News summary

Following the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers' 20-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bearcats, Taylor Swift's fiancé, Travis Kelce's alma mater, Nebraska posted a photoshopped image replacing Kelce with their mascot embracing Swift, captioned "Change of plans." The tweet sparked intense backlash from Swift's fans, including Nebraska supporters, who found the post disrespectful and dehumanizing toward Swift and Kelce. Prominent figures such as Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, a Swift fan, condemned the post and declared an upcoming game a chance to 'defend her honor.' Swift and Kelce attended the game at Arrowhead Stadium with NFL players including Patrick Mahomes, adding to the event's profile. Amid the outcry, Nebraska deleted the controversial tweet but not before screenshots circulated widely. The incident highlighted the passion of Swift's fanbase and the sensitivity around personal moments amid sports rivalries.
