In a shocking turn of events, Taylor Swift has lost over 5 million followers overnight after Elon Musk publicly called for a mass block and boycott of the pop star. The billionaire CEO of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) made the call in a series of controversial posts, urging his followers to distance themselves from Swift due to alleged political and social disagreements..
Swift, one of the most influential artists in the world, has not yet responded to the sudden drop in her social media following. However, sources close to the singer suggest she is unfazed by the backlash and remains focused on her ongoing Eras Tour.
The Kardashian family has also taken a major hit, with reports indicating they have collectively lost over 3 million followers in the same time frame. Some speculate that Musk’s influence, combined with growing criticism of celebrity culture, has led to this unexpected social media shift.
“Elon Musk’s influence over social media is undeniable,” said a digital marketing expert. “When he takes a stance, millions listen—whether they agree or not.”
Supporters of Musk’s call argue that celebrities like Swift and the Kardashians have promoted narratives they disagree with, while critics see this as yet another example of Musk wielding his power to shape public discourse.
Despite the controversy, both Swift and the Kardashians remain among the most followed celebrities in the world. Whether this follower drop will have any lasting impact on their brands remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Elon Musk’s reach extends far beyond technology and business.
