Taylor Swift praised 2017, and all hell broke loose.

In an Instagram post the pop star shared Wednesday to mark her 28th birthday, Swift said she β€œcouldn’t have asked for a better year.”

It was β€œall thanks” to her fans, she added.

The post went viral, but received a decidedly mixed reaction.

Commenters on Twitter were divided, with some calling out Swift’s unflinching admiration for 12 months marked by Donald Trump’s presidency, the emboldening of white nationalists, mass shootings and a steady flow of sexual misconduct allegations against high-profile men.

Others, however, defended Swift, noting that her post was simply a celebration of her personal achievements.

Swift’s new album β€œReputation” went triple platinum, she appeared on Time magazine’s cover with other β€œSilence Breakers” for its β€œPerson of the Year” issue, and she performed to acclaim on β€œSaturday Night Live.”
