In the midst of Billboard releasing their ‘Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century’ list, in which Swift came in at number two, the publication have issued an apology on X to the ‘Fortnight’ singer.

Billboard included a clip from Kanye West’s ‘Famous’ music video, which depicted Taylor in bed along with a slew of celebrities, in an essay they published along with the announcement of her second place ranking.

Fans took to the comments to express their distaste for the ‘error’ and were unreceptive to the apology – saying “It isn’t an error btw, an error could be including a wrong pic or adding a wrong number or those basic things but you guys added a revenge porn to the video talking about her achievements which is unnecessary.”

The hashtag #BillboardIsOverParty has begun trending, with over 80k uses and climbing.

Comments have also been made in regards to Billboard’s essays about Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna, calling them ‘disrepectful’.
