Tyler, The Creator Fires Back at Swifties Over Controversial Lyrics Amid Album Success

Tyler, The Creator is stirring up controversy after responding to Taylor Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who criticized his old lyrics in an attempt to get him canceled. During a Halloween concert in Boston for his new album "Chromakopia," Tyler addressed the backlash while standing atop the Converse Flagship Store, saying, “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass... Bitch, go listen to 'Tron Cat' — I don't give a f***!”

His comments come after the recent release of "Chromakopia," which has skyrocketed him to the top of the Global Spotify Artist chart for three consecutive days, displacing Taylor from that position. This achievement has likely fueled tensions between the two fan bases.

Tyler's past lyrics, particularly from his 2011 track "Tron Cat," are at the center of the controversy, where he touches on sensitive subjects in a provocative manner. In another track, "Fish," he explicitly references Taylor Swift in a graphic way. He warned that he could easily revert to those themes if pushed by the Swifties.

Despite the backlash, Tyler's new album is expected to perform well, with projections indicating it will make a strong showing on the Billboard 200 charts next week. The drama between Tyler and Swift's fans highlights the ongoing tension between artists and their listeners in the current music landscape.
