It is a known fact that most of Taylor Swift's songs are about her exes. The lyrics of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Shake It Off had been written by the singer in response to bad blood between her and her exes. But it seems, the fans of Taylor Swift still did not take it kindly when Burger King mentioned it.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has grabbed headlines several times before for uncalled for controversies. In 2012, on Ellen Degeneres' show, the singer declined having dated Zac Effron. When Ellen asked her which of her songs are about the Baywatch actor, Taylor insisted they never dated. However, Ellen took things up by a notch when later in the show, she flashed all of the rumoured ex-beaus of the singer on the screen under the pretext of a game. All the while Taylor kept pleading, "I don't want to, I don't want to, please stop.''

In other news, such extreme cases of passionate hating by fans is not unheard of. Recently, supermodel, Hailey Baldwin opened up about being harassed by fans of her husband, Justin Bieber's exes. One of the pertinent ones were the fans of Selena Gomez. On a photo posted by Hailey of her and Justin, fans of the singer posted some really nasty comments like, "everything imitates selena even in her photo, Selena and Justin did the same, I cannot believe how far this woman is down, maybe she wants to look like sel to see if Justin like that comes to love her really".
