Ted Nugent Gets Destroyed On Social Media After He Calls Taylor Swift’s Music ‘Poppy Nonsense’

Washed-up, no-talent rock musician Ted Nugent is getting pilloried on social media for remarks he made about the biggest music star on the face of the planet, Taylor Swift.

According to HuffPost, Nugent made his comments on recent episode of “The Joe Pags Show.”

“So I’m afraid to say in this world that’s gone down the toilet in all aspects, I’m afraid the success of Taylor Swift — and again, God bless her work ethic, God bless her musical dreams — but that’s cartoon music.”

“I mean, it doesn’t have any piss and vinegar. There’s no fire, there’s no sensuality in that. It’s all poppy nonsense as far as I’m concerned and it’s the most popular stuff in the world which is an indictment to the music industry and music fans.”

Instead, Nugent suggested, music lovers should be focused on the “fire” produced by bands such as ZZ Top, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Brownsville Station and The Amboy Dukes, which just so happens to be Nugent’s former band and hasn’t made a recording since 1975.

Considering that Swift’s Eras Tour recently became the highest grossing concert tour in history — surpassing $1 billion in earnings — and her being named Time’s Person of the Year, Nugent’s attack sounds like a mixture of jealousy and sour grapes.

Twitter users were only to happy to remind Nugent that his own career has been on the decline since the 1980s and he should just go ahead and fade into total obscurity.
