Dakota Kai is well aware of how fan opinions can change at the drop of a hat and how social media can be very toxic. In fact, Kai has now revealed that she received death threats over her reaction to a question about Taylor Swift during a WWE press conference.
While speaking to Ten Count Media, Dakota Kai revealed that she received death threats after her reaction to IYO SKY being asked whether she would want to face Taylor Swift in a match.
Kai explained that everyone was a bit confused by the question, but it gained attention online and quickly spiraled. Once social media picked it up, it turned into a mix of extreme reactions, with some people sending her death threats.
Kai and others were shocked by the death threats, agreeing that it was way too much. Dakota said there’s a lot of that kind of behavior online, which is why she doesn’t spend much time on social media anymore. She described it as a scary place where people say wild things over something as simple as mentioning Taylor Swift.
“But we were all a little bit confused about that. But you know, people were talking about it, so… when social media picks it up—either with death threats or lovely threats—you know, it’s one thing or another.Wow. Yeah, the death threats thing though, we both go crazy.
You guys, we need to stop that. Like, that’s too much. Yeah, there’s a lot of that on social media. That’s why I don’t hang out there a lot these days.
I don’t know, I don’t know. Scary. It’s a scary world out there. You guys just be saying stuff like… Taylor Swift, you know?”
During the WWE Fastlane 2023 press conference, IYO SKY was asked whether she would face Taylor Swift in a match. This led to Dakota Kai laughing loudly and asking SKY if she actually wanted to wrestle Swift. Kai’s reaction was a very normal one, so it’s just a shame that she received death threats over it.
