NEW YORK: Pop star Taylor Swift did not unfollow all her accounts on X following the arrest of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in September 2024. In fact, Swift has not followed any accounts on X for years.
A screenshot of Swift’s official X account bio circulated online, accompanied by a caption suggesting, “Taylor Swift just unfollowed everyone she was following.”
Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of trafficking following his arrest on September 16. As of now, Swift’s official X page, @taylorswift13, shows that it follows zero accounts, a status that has been unchanged for over seven years.
Archives from 2018 through May 2024 confirm that her account has consistently not followed anyone. Reports indicate that Swift removed social media posts and unfollowed all accounts in August 2017 as she prepared to promote a new album. Prior to that change, her account followed 245 others, according to archives from July of that year.
A representative for Swift has not yet responded to requests for comment.
VERDICT
Misleading context. Taylor Swift’s X account has not followed any other accounts for years.
