Kendal Grey Chooses Creed Over Taylor Swift in TMZ Music Q&A

Not every wrestler is riding the Swiftie wave. Kendal Grey recently sat down with TMZ Inside the Ring, where host Branson Quirke put the hard questions to her — including whether she counts herself among Taylor Swift’s massive fanbase.

Grey’s answer was diplomatic but firm. “I don’t hate Taylor Swift, but I do not listen to her songs,” she told Quirke. When the conversation shifted to what she actually does have on rotation, Grey made her musical allegiance clear: she’s a Creed fan, preferring the post-grunge rock band over pop’s reigning queen.

It’s a refreshingly straightforward take in an era when celebrity music opinions tend to get carefully managed. Grey didn’t go out of her way to knock Swift — she just made plain that the anthemic rock of Creed sits closer to her personal playlist than anything in the pop megastar’s catalog.

The TMZ appearance is the latest bit of mainstream visibility for Grey, who continues to build her profile both inside and outside the ring. Moments like these — low-stakes, candid, a little unexpected — tend to stick with fans and give performers a chance to show personality beyond what the camera captures on fight night.

Whether her Creed preference earns her any new fans or costs her a few Swifties remains to be seen, but Grey at least knows where she stands. Arms wide open, apparently — just not for “Shake It Off.”
