Former NFL star and ‘MAGA’ podcaster Will Compton has opened up on the viral pH๏τo with Taylor Swift which left her die-hard legion of Swifties furious last month.
Swift angered her fans when she was seen hanging out with Compton and another ex-football player in Taylor Lewan – who host the ‘Bussin With The Boys’ podcast together – while out in Nashville with boyfriend Travis Kelce.
The sight of the popstar flexing her muscles next to Compton and Lewan sparked outrage due to their ᴀssociation with Donald Trump, who appeared on their podcast ahead of last year’s election and even gave them a shout out after winning it.
Dana White also namechecked the podcast for helping propel Trump to victory over Kamala Harris, while the duo were also seen shaking hands with him at a UFC event in 2023.
Given her long and bitter history with Trump, Swift hanging out with the Bussin With The Boys stars opened her up to criticism. Yet Compton claims he asked Kelce to set up the viral pH๏τo after his girlfriend’s surprise performance in Nashville.
He said about Taylor on his podcast: ‘She came off stage from “Shake It Off” and was giving the boys some love, she was like, “I had so much fun out there” and we were like, “You crushed it.”

‘Taylor and I signed off, and we came back and I leaned over to Trav and was like, “Hey buddy, you know I’m not leaving this place without a pose with you and your girl.’
‘He was like, “Oh I’ve got you,”‘ Compton said before recreating the flex pose.
He then added: ‘She was talking s*** afterwards saying she’s got more muscles than us… it was a great night.’
While it was Kelce who arranged the picture, Swift was heavily criticized by fans online for ᴀssociating herself with fans of Trump – who recently aimed a bizarre dig at her on his Truth Social account.
‘Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I hate Taylor Swift,” she’s no longer “H๏τ?”‘ the president wrote on the platform in an unprovoked attack earlier this year.
‘The fact that she still ᴀssociates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her…. where the f*** is her self-respect,’ one fan said about Swift’s pH๏τo with Compton and Lewan.
‘Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place… then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead,’ another added. ‘What a waste.’

‘You are who you surround yourself with,’ another Swiftie wrote, while one accused the singer of having ‘zero self-respect.’
‘When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with,’ they said. ‘Show me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are,’ added another.
Swift and Kelce had been together in Nashville while the Kansas City Chiefs star was hosting his annual ‘тιԍнт End University’ event when they crossed paths with Compton and Lewan.
The Eras Tour icon even went on stage for a shock performance during the event, sending fans wild with a rendition of ‘Shake It Off’.
