Beliebers and Swifties might be about to give us the showdown of the season thanks to a photo Justin Bieber recently posted to Instagram throwing shade at Taylor Swift. The photo is a selfie of Bieber while he was apparently FaceTiming with Kanye West and friends (like you do). He posted it to his Instagram account with the caption “Taylor swift what up” [sic]. It might seem odd, at first, that Justin Bieber is the one throwing shade at Taylor Swift today. After all, nothing has really transpired between the two of them recently, but if we go back a few years, there’s some bad blood.

Taylor swift what up

First of all, it’s pretty well-known that Kanye and Justin Bieber are friends. It’s also very well-known by this point that Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian do not get along with Taylor Swift. But let’s not forget Selena Gomez and her role in this.

Go back a few years and you might remember the tumultuous relationship that was Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez is also a core member of Taylor Swift’s “squad.” In fact, a few years ago, Taylor was one of the biggest voices telling Selena that she needed to get away from Justin Bieber, and when they broke up and got back together, it was reported that Taylor was unhappy with Selena.

So that might give Justin Bieber a reason to not really be feeling any love toward Taylor Swift.
