At the time, Teller's publicist told the Daily Mail that its "facts are incorrect" but didn't confirm he was vaccinated. With this report in mind, some of Swift's fans weren't happy to see Teller in her video, questioning whether he was vaccinated when it was shot. The video included a mention of a COVID-19 safety team in its credits.

"I'm a little confused as to why she went with Teller who doesn't exactly have a great reputation," one fan wrote on the Taylor Swift subreddit, while another commented, "So disappointed about known COVID anti-vaxxer Miles Teller."

Teller didn't specify in his tweet when he received his COVID-19 vaccine. But he assured fans he's not an anti-vaxxer, and "the only thing I'm anti is hate."
