The controversy erupted when Kardashian publicly mocked Swift’s choreography in the video, quickly igniting a social media firestorm. Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, swiftly mobilized, expressing their discontent with Kardashian’s remarks. Amid the growing backlash, Barkley 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,” Barkley 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.”
Barkley’s tweet immediately captured the attention of Swift’s fans, who were thrilled to see him speak out in defense of the pop star, especially given the high-profile nature of the feud between Swift and Kardashian. Swifties, many of whom already admired Barkley for his athletic talent, were ecstatic to see him take a stand in this celebrity drama.
The timing of Barkley’s response couldn’t have been better, as the online debate had been spiraling out of control, with Kardashian’s comments fueling a storm of negative reactions. Barkley’s intervention helped calm the chaos, with many fans expressing their gratitude for his support.
“Saquon Barkley just won over Swifties everywhere,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “Finally, someone standing up for Taylor in a world full of unnecessary drama.”
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian dates back to their highly publicized conflict involving Kanye West, and Kardashian’s recent comment only seemed to deepen the divide. However, Barkley’s defense of Swift has offered a fresh perspective, reminding fans of the importance of standing up for what’s right, no matter the celebrity.
“I’ve always been a fan of Taylor’s music, and her work is beyond critique,” Barkley continued in a follow-up tweet. “She puts her heart and soul into everything she does, and the last thing we should be doing is tearing her down.”
Swifties flooded social media to show their appreciation for Barkley’s comments, making it clear that his support had earned him a special place in their hearts. His words have solidified his status not only as a beloved athlete but also as someone who understands the importance of kindness and respect, even in the face of celebrity drama.
Barkley’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, Barkley’s powerful words have provided a welcome breath of fresh air.
Lions’ Jameson Williams finally sounds off on Keyshawn Johnson’s comments
The Detroit Lions are clearly one of the most talented teams in the NFL. Head coach Dan Campbell has built a team that is hard hitting on defense and can attack with explosiveness on offense.
#Lions WR Jameson Williams says he’s receptive and “all ears” to taking advice from legends such as Keyshawn Johnson. “I’m looking forward to maybe talking to him one day or chopping it up with him,” Williams said.

They were a dominating 15-2 during the regular season last year. While the Lions have not been as efficient this season and they take a 5-3 record into their Week 10 game with the Washington Commanders, there is little doubt that quarterback Jared Goff, wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams along with tight end Sam LaPorta can light up the scoreboard at any time.
Williams did not get off to a great start this year and he felt that he was not getting the ball enough earlier in the season. Going into their Week 10 game against the Commanders, Williams has caught just 21 passes for 355 yards and 3 touchdowns. He made his feelings public at one point, and former NFL wide receiver and current analyst Keyshawn Johnson advised Williams not to complain.
At first it sounded like Johnson was criticizing Williams for making his feelings public, but he explained that he knew Campbell and offensive coordinator John Morton were not going to ignore Williams. “I know Dan Campbell because I played with him,” Johnson said. “I know John Morton going back to my USC days. They are going to get you the ball.”
Williams looks forward to talking with Johnson
Once Williams heard Johnson’s explanation, he said that he looks forward to sitting down with the analyst and conversing about his role in the offense. It seemed like Williams understood that Johnson had respect for his talent and that he would be playing an important role for the Lions the rest of the season. “I’m looking forward to maybe talking to him one day or chopping it up with him,” Williams said.
Goff appears to be in top form this season for the Lions as he has completed 177 of 240 passes for 1,915 yards with 17 TD passes and just 3 interceptions. St. Brown has caught a team-leading 59-635-7, while LaPorta has caught 35-436-3.
