In a twist nobody saw coming, pop sensation Taylor Swift is dating NFL star Travis Kelce, and suddenly, American football is the hottest topic in the pop realm! Just weeks ago, Kelce was known mainly to gridiron enthusiasts. Now, thanks to his new relationship, he’s become the talk of the town – and the internet! Swift’s recent Arrowhead Stadium appearance said it all. Seated next to Kelce’s mom, her animated cheer when Travis scored became the game’s highlight. Patrick Mahomes even joked about ensuring Kelce’s touchdown for the eager “Swifties.” But the F1 x Swiftie squad seems to be upset with very sarcastic and metaphorical Christian Horner.

F1 has always been synonymous with speed, adrenaline, and glamor. But who would’ve thought the pinnacle of motorsport would one day cross paths with the queen of pop, Taylor Swift? Yet, here we are! Amid the buzz around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, F1 Team Boss Christian Horner has apparently made (did make in August tho’) some unsavory remarks about the pop sensation. And let’s just say, fans are not here for it.

And here come the unsavory remarks:

That was the original tweet people, but the juice is somewhere else. There are a lot of fans who do not agree with this part of Horner’s comment: ANYTHING!

While we’re at it let’s have a look at some of the hottest and funniest comments from the Twitterverse (or X-verse is it now?)

Red Bull gives you wings, but Swifties bring the zing!

This gave us a chuckle – “lol @mcuban knows what’s up. He gets it.” It seems like some big names are in on the drama! Check it out:

One fervent Red Bull supporter candidly expressed their concern, saying, “I love Redbull but their PR people really need to give them some notes… Taylor Swift could run for president tomorrow and win.” We couldn’t agree more! With T-Swizzle’s fanbase, who could challenge her?

Yet another fan echoed the sentiment of many by stating, “She’s lucky if she’s allowed in.” Adding, “I think this past week with the NFL has proven the kind of influence she has on the world.” Right? How could anyone underestimate her power?

Christian, Did You Really?

It’s difficult to stay out of controversy if you speak a lot in the limelight. A few reactions like “no, christian, no. that is so not right…” and “Damn. He said the part you’re supposed to keep private out loud” truly captures the collective facepalm many felt reading Horner’s statement.

Still, others were less subtle with their reactions, like “lmao WHAT this man’s ego is WILD. Taylor 1, F0.”

In all fairness, a kind netizen did try to provide some clarity for the uninitiated, giving a differentiation between who knows pop culture (specifically Swiftie culture) the most in F1 – Red Bull folks or Mercedes folks!

The Silver Lining?

Some fans see this as an opportunity. One such fan optimistically chirped, “@MercedesAMGF1 invite her!” I mean, Lewis Hamilton jamming with Taylor Swift? Sign us up!

The most damning statement, however, touched on F1’s recent struggles: “Embarrassing statement. She brings fans wherever she goes and considering the downfall in support of F1, Horner should be begging her to step in and bring more fans so they don’t change the regs to nerf RB.”

The landscape of F1 just got a little more colorful. It remains to be seen if Taylor Swift will grace the Grand Prix with her presence or if she’ll pen a song about this (we’re lowkey hoping for the latter). Meanwhile, let’s stay tuned to see if Horner decides to shake it off or double down. Until then, and remember – the Swifties are watching! 😉🏁🎤
