Now they’ve got bad blood.

Morgan Wallen fans spitefully booed Taylor Swift on Friday night after the country singer made a joke about the pop star at his concert in Indianapolis.

“This is the single most attended concert in the history of this building, and we’re the first to do it for two nights in a row,” Wallen, 30, said while performing his One Night at a Time Tour show at Lucas Oil Stadium, per a fan video.

“I’m going to say that until Taylor Swift comes to town,” he quipped.

While some fans roared for Swift, 34, an overwhelming majority of the audience started booing the songstress.

“We ain’t got to boo, we ain’t got to boo,” Wallen said in response to the reaction from fans, before thanking them for their loyalty.

“I appreciate that. I know y’all got my back, though.”

Wallen’s joke didn’t appear to sit well with Swifties, who rushed to social media to defend the Lover hit maker.

Video of the incident has circulated on social media.

“Taylor Swift has more class than you and your fans,” one person tweeted via X. “She would never insult you, even though you deserve to be. Drop Taylor’s name to get your name out there.”

“Morgan Wallen fans booed Taylor Swift last night in Indy. They will begin to cough in three days,” another sarcastically added.

“Morgan Wallen sic fans booing Taylor Swift?? what did she do to them,” a third chimed in.

While Wallen made history at the Indianapolis venue, Swift has broken several records of her own this past year.

In April 2024, the Bad Blood singer was named a billionaire by Forbes with a $US 1.1 billion net worth.

She even boosted the US economy with her Eras Tour, which kicked off in March 2023, as several fans rushed to purchase concert tickets, plane tickets and hotels to see her perform across the country.

Swift’s latest tour landed the title of the highest-grossing tour of all time, as it brought in more than $1 billion, according to a December 2023 report from Rolling Stone.

The 14-time Grammy winner was also declared to have more No. 1 albums than any woman in history in June 2023.

Aside from her professional life, Swift has remained in the headlines over her romance with Travis Kelce. She and the NFL star, also 34, have been dating since September 2023.
