https://jezebel.com/unwrapping-the-beef-taylor-swift-fans-are-swiping-at-k-1836582736California girls: Kamala Harris was joined by pop stars Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato at an event in Los Angeles on Saturday (above)
After photographs from Scooter Brauns house surfaced late Saturday night, showing a cadre of celebrities assembled for a fireside chat with Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift fans mobilized on Twitter to wage war in the senators mentions. Katy Perry, who unfollowed Braun after reconciling with the former snake charmer and You Need To Calm Down singer, similarly found herself in hot water with the Swifties. To understand how we got here, let me take you on a thorough tour of three weeks in celebrity swiping.
June 30, 2019:
Taylor Swift unleashes hell with a Tumblr post documenting what she alleges is years of bullying by Scooter Braun and his cabal of pop stars. She even claimed that Braun was instrumental in orchestrating the secret Kim Kardashian recording that reignited her feud with Kanye West. That morning, itd been announced that Braun, the owner of Ithaca Holdings, had acquired Swifts masters in the sale of Big Machine Records. She claimed shed pleaded for her masters before the sale.
Scott Borchetta, the former owner of the label, countered these claims with emails allegedly sent between Swift and himself. While Taylor Swifts representatives claim she found out about the news when she woke up, Borchetta disputes this. Remember, Swifts father is a shareholder in Big Machine Records and her lawyers were present when the sale was being finalized. While there is a conceivable reality where her team and family hid this from her, I find it unlikely. Regardless, Justin Bieber immediately joined the fray in defense of Braun, as did Demi Lovato (who Brain recently signed), and his wife Yael. Swift, meanwhile, rallied support from Todrick Hall, Halsey, and Iggy Azalea.
