NEW YORK: The content of a satirical article about U.S. network Country Music Television (CMT) issuing a lifetime ban on singer Taylor Swift is being circulated on social media as real news.

Facebook posts share an image of Swift with text implying that CMT deemed her “worse than Garth Brooks” and has consequently banned her. Surprisingly, some individuals have taken the post seriously, expressing approval for the alleged ban.

However, it’s important to note that this information originates from a satirical source called Esspots, known for its humorous take on current events in the United States.

There is no evidence of such a ban on CMT’s official website or any dedicated page related to Taylor Swift. CMT has not provided any official comment on the matter.

The notion of Swift being banned by CMT is purely satire and not based on factual events.
