After some surprising upsets in Round 1 (including country star Lainey Wilson’s fans victorious over BTS’ ARMY by more than 2%, Round 2 featured some neck-and-neck races. Among them were Taylor Swift’s Swifties vs. Drake’s Team Drizzy, with the pop superstar’s fans ultimately moving on with a less than 1% victory; and Eminem’s Stans and Ed Sheeran’s Sheerios in a razor-tight race that had them tied at 50.0% up until the end, when the rapper’s team pulled ahead by 2%. Not so close were the matchups between Jelly Roll’s Bad Apples and aespa’s MYs, with the country star’s fans pulling in an impressive 91% of the vote, or Sabrina Carpenter’s Carpenters against GloRilla’s supporters, with the pop star winning nearly 25% more of the vote to move onto Round 3.
