Bruno Mars became the focus of online discussion over the weekend after fans noticed he appeared to “like” a post on X criticising Taylor Swift, before later distancing himself from the message and publicly praising the singer.
Bruno Mars has no bad blood with Taylor Swift after being accused of liking a social media post mocking the superstar
Pop Faction and several users claimed the 40-year-old singer had briefly liked a post shared on Friday (13.03.26) featuring a video of Taylor performing alongside a caption that read: “Genuinely how did she get famous? White privilege is crazy because imagine if an Asian was as talentless as her.”
The post was widely circulated but was incorrectly labelled as coming from BTS’ official account, despite not appearing on the group’s page.
As screenshots spread, Bruno addressed the situation directly on Sunday night (15.03.26), making clear he had no issue with Taylor.
He wrote on X: “Taylor has always been supportive and kind to me. Only love over here.” He followed with a second post urging users to keep interactions positive: “Spread Love on these apps!”
Pop Faction later reported that Bruno had removed the like that initially sparked the speculation.
The incident comes after Bruno replaced Taylor, 37, at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His single I Just Might reached the top spot in January, ending her 15-week run with The Fate of Ophelia from her album The Life of a Showgirl.
Bad Blood hitmaker Taylor hasn’t commented on the situation with her chart rival, though it seems there is no bad blood.
