Taylor Swift T-Shirt Naming Ex-Boyfriends Draws Fan Backlash, Calling Out Harry Styles & More [PHOTOS]
An online retailer produced a shirt with the last names of men romantically linked to Taylor Swift only to receive threats from the singer's fans to stop selling the garment.
Less than a month after Swift's fans pressured retailer Abercrombie & Fitch into removing a T-shirt that read "#more boyfriends than t.s.," Bad Kids Clothing produced a shirt revolving around the same idea.
The tank tops, sold in five different colors, read off the names of men Swift may or may not have dated: "Jonas & Till & Lautner & Mayer & Monteith & Gyllenhaal & Redmayne & Efron & Kennedy & Styles." The moment pictures of the garments were posted on Facebook, Swift's fans spoke out against it.
Lex Houser, the owner of Bad Kids Clothing wrote on her blog on July 12, that she being "attacked by Swifties." She woke up one morning to "70+ emails, 20+ calls, 12 texts and about 9 BILLION tweets, all from Swifties threatening to burn Bad Kids to the ground if we did not comply with their wishes and "take down" the "extremely offensive" garment.
One such message that Houser received read, "Are you trying to be high and mighty? Are you trying to be the next Abercrombie? Except this time you won't give in? You have underestimated the Swifties."
However, instead removing the T-shirt, Houser put it on sale for the public. She also offers a 5 percent off coupon for all buyers.
"Well GUESS WHAT Swifties? Your heads are about to explode...because we're officially putting these babies on sale!" she wrote. "This shirt shall be named 'The Doherty' after the man who requested it be made, and it's going on sale right about...MEOW!"
Swift has not commented on the shirts.
