Amid the growing backlash, Love took to social media to speak out in support of Swift, calling Kardashian’s comments "unwarranted" and "unnecessary."
“It’s disappointing to see someone of Kim Kardashian’s stature criticize Taylor Swift, who’s not only an incredible artist but a role model to so many,” Love tweeted. “There’s no need for the negativity, especially when it comes to something as subjective as art and self-expression. Taylor’s dance moves are iconic, and it’s time we respect her creative choices.”

Swifties flooded social media to show their appreciation for Love’s comments, making it clear that his support had earned him a special place in their hearts.

Love’s defense of Swift has reminded fans that standing up for what’s right — and supporting one another — is far more important than fueling the flames of negativity. In a world that often seems dominated by celebrity conflicts, Love’s powerful words have provided a welcome breath of fresh air.
‘Big Time Rebuild’ in AFC East Could Feature 6-foot-6 Eagles Backup QB
The Philadelphia Eagles have a certain ethos when it comes to backup quarterbacks that lands along the lines of “The More the Merrier” and it’s hard to argue with the results.
The Eagles have drafted and traded for potential quarterbacks with seemingly reckless abandon in recent years and come away with some gems, and none more than 2023 sixth round pick Tanner McKee, who shined in place of Super Bowl MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts when Hurts missed most of the final 3 games of the 2024 regular season with a concussion.
The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia thinks the Eagles might have a bargaining chip in McKee, who might entice a team in the middle of a massive rebuild — specifically the New York Jets — to cut a deal with Philly to obtain his services.
The Jets are coming off a fire sale before the NFL trade deadline that signaled a massive rebuild under first year head coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets now possess 5 first round picks over the next 2 seasons — 2 first rounders in 2026 and 3 first rounders in 2027.
With current starter Justin Fields not exactly getting the job done in the first year of a 2-year, $40 million contract, the Jets might want to upgrade at the position in 2026.
The 1-7 Jets have the longest postseason drought of any team across the 4 North American professional sports leagues — they haven’t been to the playoffs since losing in the AFC Championship Game following the 2010 season.
McKee could very well be a stopgap starter in 2026. If he shows he can handle the load moving forward, it could allow the Jets to spend those picks in other ways than drafting a quarterback.
“I was thinking a couple of things here, and one of them is Tanner McKee, because I was trying to look at backups and you say, is there a backup here (who could be a starter)?” Kapadia said on The Ringer NFL Show on Thursday, November 6. “I’m a huge Tanner McKee fan. I think it could be done. They’re in line for a big time rebuild. he could be the guy.”
McKee’s Trade Value Could Be High
Depending on how desperate the Jets or some other QB needy team might get, the value of McKee might be surprising if the Eagles open themselves up to trades.
McKee still has one year left on the 4-year, $4.02 million contract he signed with the Eagles after they drafted him in the sixth round (No. 188 overall) of the 2023 NFL draft out of Stanford.
That means a deal could be made that might get the Eagles back a third round pick or fourth round pick or possibly a pair of late round picks back in exchange for McKee.
From Bleeding Green Nation in June 2025: “Now, if McKee plays well in the preseason, (general manager) Howie Roseman is going to get trade offers for McKee. He probably already has. And if someone offers a 1st-round pick you take it. You just do. But I wouldn’t expect that to happen. A 3rd-round pick, no way. Not enough. The question is would you take a 2nd-rounder for McKee, and I would really be reluctant … There’s no doubt in my mind McKee can be a plus NFL starter, and he’ll probably get that opportunity if he hits free agency after the 2026 season. But right now, the Eagles need him more than they need more picks.”
