Tyler, the Creator has a message for fans of Taylor Swift, accusing them of targeting him online.
In a clip shared across social media, the California native calls out the “Swifties” while headlining a quick pop-up in support of his recent CHROMAKOPIA album. Per Billboard, the Grammy winner was performing a 30-minute special Halloween engagement in Boston.
“I got Swifties all mad at me with they racist a**. Bringing up old lyrics, bi**h, go listen to ‘Tron Cat’— don’t give a f**k h*e. The f**k, bi**h!” he declared. “They gon bring out the old me.”

In “Tron Cat,” released in 2011 on Tyler’s GOBLIN album, he raps about “not givin’ a f**k.” In the same album, he name-drops the Reputation performer in “Fish/Boppin’ Bi**h” rhyming, “Bi**hes running ’round down, pu**y take a trip/ Make her strip, got my d**k harder than the unzip/ Tyler swiftly slips his d**k inside of Taylor Swift’s slit.”
Also in GOBLIN he spits, “Love? I don’t get none, that’s why I’m so hostile to the kids that get some/ My father called me to tell me he loved me/ I’d have a better chance of gettin’ Taylor Swift to f**k me,” in “Nightmare.”
According to Complex, any recent vitriol against the “EARFQUAKE” performer from the fans of the global pop star derives from the success of his latest release. The outlet noted the Swifties had an issue with him taking the No. 1 spot on the global Spotify Top Artist chart this week after the release of CHROMAKOPIA, ending Taylor Swift’s 698-day run.
Released on Monday (Oct. 28), CHROMAKOPIA is projected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with between 250,000 and 300,000 album-equivalent units. This would be Tyler’s biggest first-week sales performance of his career, outpacing his 2021 LP Call Me If You Get Lost and 2019 LP IGOR. Both albums went No. 1, selling 169,000 units and 165,000 units, respectively.
“The album just kind of turned into me taking a bunch of sh*t my mom told me when I was a kid. Now that I’m 33, all of that stuff is like, ‘Oh, that’s what f**k she was talking about! Oh, I’m not the guy that I was at 20! Oh sh*t!’”
He continued, “People are getting older. Folks having kids and families. And all I got is a new Ferrari and it does feel kind of weird after a while. I’m gaining weight. I got a grey hair on my chest.”
