It happened when someone asked Burger King what their favorite song is by the 1989 singer, to which they responded: “the one about her ex.” It has since been deleted, although the screenshots quickly spread around the Internet.
Fans began trending the hashtag #BurgerKingIsOverParty, with some joking about the tweet and finding it funny, while others seriously taking issue and calling their response “sexist.” Other Twitter users then joined the party, with some calling out the brand and others celebrating Burger King’s joke. People also called out the trending party for happening at all amid more pressing world events.
To remedy the situation, Burger King later made a reference: “let’s shake it off. celebrate #BurgerKingIsOverParty with the $3 shake + fries deal in the app 😉,” they wrote.
Last year, Taylor shut down this sexist question about turning 30. See what she said…
