Taylor Swift fans blast Burger King on Twitter over a joke
#BurgerKingIsOverParty was initially a joke, but some Twitter users appeared to take it seriously
Burger King is trying to make up for some “Bad Blood” between the fast-food chain and Taylor Swift fans.
On Wednesday, someone tweeted at Burger King asking what its favorite Taylor Swift song was, Fox News reported.
The chain responded in a now-deleted tweet: “The one about her ex,” Fox reported.
