3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 28

Summary

  • Aaron Lewis said shredded paper inside a Taylor Swift merchandise box matched the cover of his unreleased album “Give Me Back My Country,” which is due out July 17.
  • A fan’s unboxing video prompted his response on X, and Lewis later said his team had to alert him because he does not use social media.
  • Lewis said he does not know how the artwork reached packaging materials and called the incident “weird,” adding he trusts distribution companies to handle advance materials responsibly.
  • He said he is not blaming Swift, describing the mix-up as unrelated to her personally, while Big Machine Label Group and Universal Music Group did not immediately comment.
