Did rock musician Kid Rock refuse to do a collaborative tour with pop star Taylor Swift? No, that’s not true: This claim initially appeared in an article on a satirical website known for publishing fabricated content. There is otherwise no publicly available or credible evidence to support this claim

In the comment section, the author of this post linked to an esspots.com article (archived here) titled, “Breaking: Kid Rock Refuses to Do a Collaborative Tour with Taylor Swift, ‘We Need More Toby Keiths and Fewer Taylor Swifts.'”

Lead Stories did a search using keywords on Google News, visible here, which found no credible documents or reporting to corroborate the claim.

Lead Stories previously debunked another esspots.com-originated claim that country music television banned Taylor Swift “for life.”

In a previous fact check involving a different satirical website, Lead Stories found the claim that Kid Rock canceled six tour dates with Sheryl Crow and praised Jason Aldean false.

Lead Stories reached out to representatives of Kid Rock and Taylor Swift for comment on the “collaborative tour” post. This fact check will be updated if any responses are received.
