Nashville’s iconic Legends Corner bar and mural features some of country music's biggest titans, but the artwork outside of the landmark no longer includes Taylor Swift's appearance.
As per WZTV Nashville, Swift was one of the four women featured on the Legends Corner art, which was unveiled around early 2017 and features 14 country legends from past and present. Among the other stars featured on the mural include Tim McGraw, Loretta Lynn, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Keith Urban, Merle Haggard, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.
Swift, though, was recently painted over and replaced with Brad Paisley, a move that did not please Swifties. In fact, after fans noticed the replacement, the phrase "Young Taylor ran country" started to trend on Twitter. Meanwhile, organizers told WZTV Nashville that two additions will be included in the mural. Scroll on below to see how Swifties reacted to the obvious diss at the evermore chart-topper.

Nashville really took Taylor Swift who is the youngest person to ever win 'The Pinnacle Award' for her contribution in country music & popularized the genre overseas off of the Legends Corner Mural, and gave her spot to Brad Paisley who released a song like ‘accidental racist’ 😐 pic.twitter.com/w8DFqCEkCO
