Ted Nugent sends a harsh message about Taylor Swift’s music

In a recent interview with The Joe Pags Show podcast,  Ted Nugent had some choice words to say about Taylor Swift and her music. It is not known what brought on his hatred for the singer. However, he is known to have made controversial statements in the past. In the podcast appearance, he said:

“So I’m afraid to say in this world that’s gone down the toilet in all aspects, I’m afraid the success of  Taylor Swift—and again, God bless her work ethic, God bless her musical dreams—but that’s cartoon music.”

He did not just stop there. He went on to call her music “poppy nonsense” and say that there is no “fire” or “sensuality” in Swift’s songs:

“I mean, it doesn’t have any piss and vinegar. There’s no fire, there’s no sensuality in that. It’s all poppy nonsense as far as I’m concerned. And it’s the most popular stuff in the world which is an indictment to the music industry and music fans.”

He then proceeded to list his favorites and say that  Taylor Swift fans are not “looking for that fire from a ZZ Top or from a Mitch Ryder in the Detroit Wheels, or from a Brownsville Station or an Amboy Dukes. And I miss that.” Then he puts on a rather self-important air and finishes his statement with:

“Thank God I’m still around.”

When the account realTuckFrumper posted about this on X (formerly Twitter) it sparked a wildfire among the Swifties. Many attributed his attitude to jealousy, while others just made fun of him. Check out some of the fan reactions below:

‘The Nuge’ has been history since the 80’s. He can’t compete and dying of jealousy.

Ah yes, the creator of “Wango Tango” speaks! LOL. He couldn’t fill an amphitheater, much less stadiums around the world.
