FIRST Take analyst Stephen A. Smith has been threatened with the wrath of Taylor Swift fans by colleague Paul Finebaum.

The ESPN sportscaster, 56, was accused of “abandoning” his support for the pop sensation during Thursday’s edition of the sports debate show.

Smith was joined on First Take by Finebaum and Dan Orlovsky as the trio discussed Jim Harbaugh’s switch to the Los Angeles Chargers.

But talk soon turned to Swift, whose presence in the stands at NFL games has been a talking point since she began dating nine-time Pro Bowler Travis Kelce.

Stephen A. lavished praise on the pop sensation earlier this week in an interview with Howard Stern.

The 56-year-old gushed over a “phenomenal” concert he attended with his daughters and called Swift an “incredible artist.”

During First Take’s segment on Harbaugh, Smith mentioned his love for Janet Jackson and said he was “appalled and upset” it wasn’t reciprocated by Finebaum.

A non-plussed Finebaum responded, “You quoted Janet Jackson? You know what, that’s fantastic Stephen A.

“But you know what really surprised me? After you fawned over Taylor Swift the other morning on Howard Stern, I think every Swiftie in America should have an uprising against you for abandoning your girl Taylor.”

Host Molly Qerim interrupted, saying, “What is [Stephen A.’s] agenda with Taylor? He knows she’s the biggest deal out there at the moment.

“How is it out there on that bandwagon?”

“I cannot have a segment on national television where Paul Finebaum is getting on me about Taylor Swift,” Smith gasped.

“That Taylor Swift concert I went to, it was off the chain. She’s that girl.”

Swift and Kelce went public with their romance in the summer.

And the pop star is reportedly planning to splash the cash on gifts if her man wins another Super Bowl Ring.

First Take airs every weekday from 10 am ET on ESPN.
