Grayson Waller is Glad He Pissed Off Taylor Swift Fans

WWE Superstar Grayson Waller pulled the ultimate heel move in 2023 when he called Taylor Swift a "six" out of 10. The wrestler was immediately swarmed by vengeful online Swifties, but Waller still looks back on the burn fondly.

Waller was the latest wrestler to sit down with Chris Van Vliet. He spoke about his battle with the Swifties, the fires of which Waller stoked further by wearing an "I'm a Swiftie" shirt at a WWE live event.

“That was a beautiful thing,” Waller told Van Vliet. “We talk for an hour today. You don’t know what the 10 seconds of this interview are that people are going to latch onto, and the same with any interview. I just made a joke on The Bump that if Travis Kelce is happy settling for a six, good for him, which is funny. That’s a great line, I was pretty happy with that but I didn’t even think about it until all of a sudden I have these cringe mums on TikTok who don’t spend time with their kids doing videos on me about how ugly I am. And they were saying some wild stuff, like Swiftie fans are mean."

“There was one lady who was talking about how I had no lips. Never in my life have I thought about not having lips and I’m looking at the mirror like, do I not have lips? They got my head a little bit, but I doubled down on it too, because I think people get stressed about when you annoy the fan base, especially the Swifties. I doubled down on it because it was so fun. They were so angry and so upset.”

Turns out Waller later ran into both Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at a party in Nashville.

“There’s just all these well-known people," he recalls. "They all know Sheamus, obviously, he’s pale. So it’s like you get this bright light in the corner of your eye, like you’re opening up the fridge. So it’s kind of painful for a second. So they’re all coming up and talking to him, and then Kelce comes up. 'Here we go.' He was super nice, Cena-esque. I’ll give him Cena-esque in the sense. He didn’t have to come over and chat to us. Super chill. Chatted to us for a bit. I was like, ‘Hey, man, Jason’s done some stuff. When are we getting you coming in?’ He’s like football first type of thing. So he was really cool.”

“Didn’t get to meet Taylor officially. She did walk past me at some stage, and I had to move and go, ‘Oh, sorry.’ And she said, ‘Thank you.’ So I think that’s the reconciliation."
