In response to the backlash, Bryan took to his IG stories on September 19 to explain himself. “For the record guys, I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,” Bryan wrote, including Swift’s “Fortnite” in the post. Bryan said he was simply comparing two albums and it “came out wrong.”

In a second slide, Bryan added that he is “going through a hard time” and was probably projecting, adding that he has a lot of respect for Swift as an artist. “Don’t drink and tweet,” he concluded the second post. He then reiterated these points in two additional posts, resolving to “take a breather from tweeting stupid stuff.”
