Josh Hutcherson Clarifies Taylor Swift Fan Drama

0:00It's April 20th. You're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered pop culture updates. Josh Hutcherson is clearing up the drama with Taylor Swift fans. He never said he hates her, just that her music isn't his vibe. The 33-year-old actor respects her talent, but sticks to other artists. This all blew up after a fun interview game where he admitted he's not a swifty. It started back in December during a camera roll roulette with his I Love LA co-star, Jordan Firstman. Josh pulled up a photo of him and his mom at Taylor's era's tour. When asked if he was a fan, he said no shade, but definitely not. Fans spotted the clip and went off online. The backlash hit hard, with some calling him out for snagging VIP tickets if he wasn't into it. Josh says that's exactly why he stays off social media. He avoids the internet to dodge that kind of energy and keep his life private. He explained to GQ that being too online makes acting tougher.

Plenty of celebs hit up the era's tour. Fans or not. Josh is keeping it low key, focusing on his craft away from the spotlight.
