A Timeline of Megyn Kelly’s One-Sided Beef With Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has never publicly addressed Megyn Kelly, but that hasn’t prevented the pop superstar from pushing the conservative commentator’s buttons.

As Swift has become more politically involved in the latter years of her career, frequently aligning herself with liberal politicians and the Democratic party, Kelly — whose own political views are diametrically opposed to the “Anti-Hero” singer’s — has made her disapproval clear on more than one occasion. The Fox News alum has also taken issue in the past with Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s relationship, be it the frequency with which news networks cover their romance or the couple’s actions that led Kelly to deem them “elite snobs.”

But while Swift is one of Kelly’s go-to topics of discussion in the music world, she isn’t the only artist who’s grabbed the Megyn Kelly Show host’s attention. Kelly has also come after everyone from Katy Perry — for posting an edited version of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College — to Usher over his 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance and Zach Bryan for, ironically, walking back on his claim that Ye (formerly Kanye West) is better than Swift in a since-deleted tweet.

Even so, Swift is one artist in particular about whom Kelly has had a lot to say.
