When one feud ends, another begins!
Taylor Swift just took to social media to slam Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s manager Scooter Braun and we have got you all covered on all the celeb drama that has just been unleashed.
WATCH: Taylor Swift publicly ends feud with Katy Perry
In the original scathing Tumblr post, Swift called out Scooter for being a manipulative bully following his business Ithaca Holdings acquisition of the 29-year-old’s previous record label Big Machine Label Group.
The “You Need To Calm Down” singer penned “For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and ‘earn’ one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in, I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future. I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.”
Taylor went on to reveal that she had no idea that the American talent manager will be purchasing her entire life’s work until the whole world knew about it.
“Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world” said the multi-Grammy award winner.
For maximum impact, the “ME!” singer accompanied the lengthy post with an image from Justin Bieber’s Instagram that is dated back to that whole Kim Kardashian and Kanye West drama.
The image depicts Justin face-timing Kanye, who just so happens to be another client of Scooter.
She wrote on the revealing photo: “This is Scooter Braun, bullying me on social media when I was at my lowest point, he’s about to own all the music I’ve ever made.”
Swift continued in her essay, “All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years. Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it. (See photo) Or when his client, Kanye West, organized a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked”
Taylor labelled the whole ordeal her “worst case scenario.”

Despite all the drama, Taylor wrapped up the exposé on a positive note that she is now free from all the pain under her new label and is excited for the release of upcoming seventh studio album Lover.
But the drama didn’t stop there as Justin Bieber issued his own personal letter on Instagram in response to Taylor’s claims.
The Canadian pop singer began “Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive, I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshotted of scooter and Kanye that said ‘taylor swift what up’ he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.”
Bieber went on to side with his manager in the end. He added “Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair.”
He then proceeded to slam Taylor for making her gripe public.
“What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication.”

Since the whole thing broke out multiple celebs have spoken out in defence of Taylor including Halsey, Joseph Kahn, Todrick Hall and more.
See all their supportive tweets:
Katy Perry has also reportedly signed a new Change.org campaign aimed at allowing Taylor Swift to re-release her previous six albums without Scooter’s involvement.
One particular note-worthy one is from supermodel friend Cara Delevingne who slammed Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber.
The model who appeared in Taylor’s iconic “Bad Blood” music video commented: “Gentleman? @haileybieber @justinbieber you must be bored. I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions. As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is. This issue that @taylorswift is talking out is about far more than a picture and you know that. As you said, you haven’t spoken to her in years which means you definitely don’t understand the situation. I do. Take a step back and try and learn from this. We should all be on the same team. End of story.”
Scooter is yet to respond to the whole situation.
