Twitch streamer QTCinderella is lifting the lid on her viral argument about Taylor Swift that took place on an episode of the ‘Fear&’ podcast with Hasan, Will Neff and AustinShow.
On September 1, 2025, popular Twitch streamer QTCinderella got together with her cohosts, fellow broadcasters Hasan, Will Neff, and AustinShow, for an episode of their collaborative podcast named ‘Fear&.’
During the episode, QT’s cohosts asked for her opinion on Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. It’s well-known that she is a die-hard Swiftie, with the streamer attending the pop star’s concerts and even dressing up as her for Halloween.
“I really would love to play the caricature that you guys want me to be, where I jump for joy and I cried for her. I did not care,” QT admitted, much to her fellow streamers’ shock.
“Oh my god, you guys act surprised every time, and I’m so consistent about it. It’s crazy. I’ve always said that I’m not invested in her relationships. I do not care who she’s dating. I’ve always said that.”
QTCinderella goes viral for spat with co-hosts over Taylor Swift
The trio then grilled QT about Taylor’s future music now that she’s gotten engaged, noting that many of her most famous tracks were inspired by her past relationships and subsequent breakups.
“Yeah, but so what? No matter what, she’s gonna write a good song. It doesn’t matter who she’s dating,” QT rebutted, going on to point out that Swift has a massive discography full of other songs that aren’t about her love life.
“She does have a lot of songs about [her relationships], but so does every artist,” QT argued. “…I don’t like talking about Taylor Swift with you guys. I don’t enjoy it.”
QT then drew parallels between Taylor Swift fans and sports fans, challenging Will Neff to name his favorite New York Jets player and even who they’d dated, which he was able to answer on the spot.
Eventually, QT began mocking how she feels her co-hosts treat her whenever anything Taylor Swift-related comes up in conversation, resulting in an explosive retort that has taken over social media.
“It’s not exciting, like, ‘Oh my god, what flowers is she gonna have?’ You’re like, ‘Oh my god QT, did you sh*t yourself? Did you sh*t in your little pretty pants, you stupid little b*tch that loves Taylor Swift? Did you drink your pumpkin spice latte and kick your stupid little UGG boots in the air you dumb little f*cking c**t,’ is that what you say to me?”

The moment went viral in the following days after the podcast was published, sparking a heated debate online regarding the treatment of Taylor Swift fans by male critics. One post containing a clip of the interaction garnered 18 million views in just five days.
“It’s really not even about Taylor Swift. You can’t just belittle someone if they like an artist, etc. Glad she crashed out like that,” one user wrote on X.
“Because men are so insufferable about women’s interests, y’all love to mock us to our faces and then get surprised when we react,” another argued.
“She’s so valid for that. They always make fun of her interests, but no one bats an eye when Will crashes out over the Jets,” another pointed out.
QT finally addressed the matter in a tweet on September 5, where she stood by her remarks and seemed surprised their spat had gone so viral.
“Did not expect this to get 17 million views,” she began. “I am but a girl that loves Taylor Swift and yelling at my friends for putting myself and her in a box. Check out our podcast and follow me if you wanna trade friendship bracelets.”
She replied to her post with a clip from a BBC interview with Taylor Swift, where the singer called out people who shame others for their interests.
“The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb, or stupid for being excited about something,” Swift said. “Worst type of person. I don’t think you should ever have to apologize for your excitement.”
Fans are rallying behind QT in support, while others seem to find the moment’s viral nature quite humorous, given her long-standing friendship with Hasan, Will, and Austin.
“You were right for standing on business!” one said.
“Please yell at them more, they need it. They didn’t even apologize, smh,” another wrote.
“QT clip-farmed so successfully,” yet another joked.
Thus far, neither Hasan, Will, nor Austin has made a public statement regarding the viral clip — but QT seems to have taken the victory this time, during which she’s also garnered praise for her recreation of the broomstick cake from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.
