Zach Bryan deactivates his X account after controversial tweet claiming Kanye West is greater than Taylor Swift
Musician Zach Bryan deactivated his Twitter account on Wednesday, just a day after a controversial post about Taylor Swift and Kanye West.
The 28-year-old singer tweeted Tuesday night: “Eagles > Chiefs Kanye > Taylor who’s with me.”
Swifties immediately responded negatively to the post and less than a day later he deactivated his account on the social media platform.
The singer is still active on Instagram, with over 4.7 million followers, but last month he deactivated his Instagram after a heated tirade about parenthood.
However, he did post some Kanye West songs on his Instagram story, but they have since expired.

Another, @crashyuck, said: ‘Really bad comment especially after all the weird stuff Kanye has said.’
Others defended Bryan, such as @Nickym49, who said, “I will follow him as soon as he comes back. He’s my favorite now.”
