Taylor Swift had a terrific year in 2023. Not only did her Eras Tour break all the records in theatres, but now she is enjoying her romantic bliss with Travis Kelce.

She has 12 Grammy Awards, 1 Primetime Emmy Award, 40 American Music Awards, 40 Billboard Music Awards, and 23 MTV Video Music Awards to her name.

Despite Taylor Swift proving herself time and time again, it seems some really do not care for her success or achievements at such a young age. In a recent interview, the right-wing musician known for his controversial remarks, Ted Nugent, came after her by calling her music “nonsense.” 

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.”
