This episode of Hot Ones Versus was heated! Not in the way you’d think. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly filmed himself in the show’s famous hot wings challenge with fellow musician Trippie Redd and have him the dare to diss Taylor Swift in a sudden departure from the flow. Wait, what?
Absolutely. Here’s the event. The dare began when MGK was given the mission to say three bad things about the pop star. You’d think somebody might spend this opportunity making headlines, but MGK’s response surprised the crowd and everybody.
Instead of throwing shade, MGK shut it down with some major respect. He said, “You all gotta be out of your mind if you think I want some smoke with that fanbase” , referencing Taylor’s fiercely loyal “Swifties”.
But that’s not even the best part. MGK said further, “I think Taylor a fucking saint. That was some very nice fucking support from her personally” . He even joked about being a fan of Travis Kelce since he was a kid on his twitter and even called him his “bro”.
All in all, this situation is a win-win! It demonstrates how respectful artists can be towards each other and their music, how powerful the fan base is. Swifties are how Machine Gun Kelly obviously isn’t going to mess with that kind of fan-the respect!
What does all of it mean for the music industry? It means that fans are not just bands of supporters of music: they are a powerful force. Artists know how important it is to keep their fans happy; the rapper’s reaction is a vivid example of that.
In the end, this Hot Ones episode gave us a lot of positive emotions to share. This is a good example of how good-girls have a lot of power in the music world.
