Overview
- Mars posted on X that Taylor Swift has been supportive and kind to him, adding "Only love over here" and urging users to "Spread Love on these apps!"
- Screenshots shared by fan aggregators claimed his account liked a reel labeling Swift "talentless" and invoking "white privilege."
- Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, and others reported they could not independently confirm the screenshot or the alleged like.
- The insulting post was falsely linked to BTS’ official account, and the related source account, BopBase, has since been deactivated.
- Pop Faction and PopFlop amplified the claim and reported the like was later removed, while Swift and BTS have not commented.
