John Lennon's son admits lyric in Taylor Swift song made him feel 'uncomfortable'

He does think the world needs 'more not less Taylor Swifts' even if he's not personally a fan of her music

The son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono has been praising Taylor Swift, though he admitted there was one lyric in one of her songs which made him 'uncomfortable'.

Seán Ono Lennon took to social media recently to say that, while he'd never been a fan of Swift's music and didn't really know her songs, he thought she 'should be respected and in fact treasured'.

His post seemed to hit out at Donald Trump's Truth Social post on 15 September where he wrote: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

That had followed Swift's endorsement of his opponent in the US presidential race, Kamala Harris.

Plenty had been waiting to see whether Swift would go as far as endorsing the Democrats as she did at the last election, and in a lengthy Instagram post she hit out at AI generated images of her claiming she was endorsing Trump.

Instead, Swift has endorsed Harris to be the next US president and signed off as a 'childless cat lady', mocking a comment made by Trump's vice-president pick, JD Vance.

Now you've got all that context, Seán Ono Lennon wrote on Twitter: "I have never been a fan of her music, although I can’t think of a single song so I don’t really know if I like it or not.

"But I know she is a uniquely successful American. A young woman who has done things in a way that no one has done before her.

"She is the kind of American that should be respected and in fact treasured. We need more not less Taylor Swifts in our world. People who thrive continually and consistently are exactly the kind of person both parties should embrace.

"So for some old grumpy dude to get angry at her, no that’s not a good look."

He went on to write out what he thought a more 'gracious criticism' might have been, saying that 'old man yells at moon' didn't look great, and reiterating that he wasn't endorsing anyone on 'either side of this clown show'.

However, he did then double back to add that he actually knew one of Swift's songs and one part of it had made him uncomfortable.

Seán remembered the Taylor Swift tune 'Bad Blood' and the particular bee in his bonnet that he had was 'she rhymed mad love with bad blood and that kind of made me uncomfortable'.

There you have it folks, the only bone he has to pick with Swift is that she once did some rhyming which wasn't quite to his liking.

He then wrote: "I have nothing against her. I have a lot of respect for what she has accomplished. I certainly could never do what she does."

So, there you have it. John Lennon's son reckons the world could do with more Taylor Swifts but he wasn't the biggest fan of some of the rhyming in 'Bad Blood'.
