Taylor is livid and seriously disappointed with Toshi’s social media posts.’She has considered him one of her closest friends on the road after recruiting him for her 1989 tour back in 2014.’ 

Taylor Swift has reportedly dismissed her backing dancer Toshi over offensive and derogatory social media posts.

Her long-time dancer and ‘close friend’ was absent from her performance at BBC Radio’s Biggest Weekend during Sunday’s headline performance, following a reported ‘bust-up’ between the pair.

Taylor, 28, was understood to be ‘livid’ after the dancer posted sexist memes on Instagram Stories, which were screengrabbed by her fans and shared online before he turned his Instagram account to private.

In one of the posts, Toshi shared a MailOnline article about Australia’s national women’s soccer team losing 7-0 to an under 15s boys’ side.

The words, ‘Back to the kitchen’ are written underneath in a screengrab believed to be taken from his account.

Later, he is believed to have shared a particularly graphic sexual meme, featuring a female cartoon rabbit being held down by a male.

Another offensive tweet also featured pictures of a cloth, a bottle of Chloroform, a black van and a deserted woods, next to which was written: ‘Every girls weakness (sic)’
