This led to the trending hashtags #BlockTaylorSwift and #KardashianBoycott. Consequently, Taylor Swift reportedly lost 5 million followers overnight, and the Kardashian family lost over 3 million followers across their social media platforms citeturn0search0.

However, these claims have been disputed. Reuters conducted a fact-check and found no evidence that Elon Musk banned Taylor Swift’s X account or that she lost over 1 million followers in September 2024. Her account remained active with more than 95 million followers, and there were no credible reports of a significant loss of followers.

Despite the lack of evidence, the incident sparked a broader debate about the influence of celebrities on social media and the power of public figures to sway public opinion. Supporters of Swift and the Kardashians rallied under hashtags like #WeStandWithTaylor, while critics questioned the impact of celebrity culture on societal values.

In the aftermath, Taylor Swift remained silent on the issue, while Kim Kardashian posted an encouraging message about resilience, stating, “Your worth does not diminish because someone else can’t see your worth.” Experts believe that while the incident may have temporarily affected their follower counts, it is unlikely to have a lasting impact on their careers, given their strong fan bases and enduring popularity citeturn0search0.
