Swifties prove they’re ‘fearless’ as they stand up for their fave. And Billboard? Well, they really said, ‘It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.’

You gotta tread lightly when mentioning Taylor Swift’s name, because her army of loyal fans is always on high alert, ready to go full defense mode.

Yesterday (November 27), Billboard dropped one more bombshell (it’s already caused a lot of drama) in their ranking of “The Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century,” placing Taylor second, and Beyoncé in first place.

Naturally, a bunch of Swifties felt totally let down. I mean, with the most profitable female tour in history, insane awards, record-breaking charts, and Spotify stats through the roof, they knew Taylor had first place on lock (though, shoutout to Queen B for taking the crown — no shock there).

But! What really sent fans into a spiral and got #BillboardIsOverParty trending on X (Twitter) was the super controversial image used in the video meant to celebrate Taylor’s career: that of Tay’s naked wax figure…and IYKYK (!!)

Why’s Taylor’s wax figure image such a big deal?

Well, the clip used in the video was actually pulled from Kanye West’s controversial Famous music visuals. (Yup, him again — dude just can’t stop messing up).

The 2016 song included derogatory lyrics about Taylor such as, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bi**h famous,” while the video showed wax figures of naked celebs, including Taylor.
