After trying to be a girl’s girl to Taylor Swift by giving her a heads up about her alleged cheating ex (Travis Kelce), Maya Benberry says Swifties have been sending her death threats.
“Swifties are aggressive,” Benberry said. “Very negative, very hypocritical. It’s really crazy to me that someone that I think is positive and really nice has such a negative and angry fanbase.”
A lot of the hate seemed to have triggered Swifties when Maya “liked” a comment calling Swift a “5,” which she later explained was an accident. “I don’t think that Taylor is a 5. The initial comment was someone complimenting me so I liked it without even paying attention just like I do every other comment on my page,” she explained. “But once I caught wind that it was shade. I deleted the comment entirely.”
“I don’t know Taylor Swift, but I’m a fan of her music,” she shared. “I don’t feel any way about her dating Travis. It’s cute.” But she adds, “I had him first.”
Benberry also addressed claims that she’s looking for her “15 minutes of fame.”
“It’s nothing about Taylor. It’s more about, you led me to believe that we had a future. And now, five years later, you’re laughing and I feel like you’re mocking me.”
“I’m not jealous or bitter about Taylor — she’s beautiful, she’s successful, we’re in two different lanes — my issue is more with Travis, in the sense of now you’re trying to turn me into a bitter person, or a liar, like I’m delusional, and I’m the furthest thing from that,” she added.
