“taylor swift getting replaced on the legends corner mural by a man is already annoying enough but when you factor in overall accomplishments and accolades is just like……请,” one person reacted on Twitter.

“I have lots of respect for #bradpresysley being added to the legendary mural but where I am hurt by the fact that the city of Nashville could have put him in a different place but they didn’t. They removed another young legend named Taylor Swift,” 另一个 反应了.
