Bruno Mars Says He Has ‘Only Love’ for Taylor Swift After Fans Accuse Him of Dissing Her

Bruno Mars isn’t leaving the door open for any misconceptions about his thoughts on Taylor Swift. After fans online thought he might have indirectly dissed the pop superstar, the Silk Sonic artist clarified his stance in a comment on X on Sunday (March 15).

Responding to a post with an apparent screenshot of Mars appearing to “like” an Instagram video hating on Swift, he wrote, “Taylor has always been supportive and kind to me.”

Mars added, “Only love over here.”

Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.

The alleged screenshot in question shows a frame of a video of Swift performing on stage at one of her Eras Tour shows in 2023 or 2024. Text on screen refers to the 14-time Grammy winner as “talentless.”

Billboard could not verify the screenshot, and the account on which it was supposedly posted seems to have disappeared.

Mars and Swift are two of the biggest artists of their generation, often taking turns dominating the charts. The former recently scored his 10th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “I Just Might” — which has ruled the ranking for three weeks so far — before which the pop superstar’s “The Fate of Ophelia” spent 10 weeks atop the chart.

Mars is also fresh off of the release of his first solo album in a decade, The Romantic. The LP dropped Feb. 27 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The last time the performer dropped an album was in 2016, with 24k Magic reaching No. 2 on the chart; the year prior was also the last memorable time Mars and Swift memorably intersected on social media, with the former jokingly joining in on Swift’s spat with Nicki Minaj at the time. While the two women were trading barbs about VMA nominations — later making amends and performing together at the ceremony — Mars posted on X, “Yo I want in on this twitter Beef!! VMAs is the new WWF!! @edsheeran F–k You!”

Sheeran jokingly responded at the time, “@BrunoMars any way we do dis you gon’ come up short.”
