Before facing each other off, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber used to be close friends

Four years ago, Taylor Swift was the victim of collective bullying orchestrated by the couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, along with two music executives, Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun. Justin Bieber, being under Scooter Braun’s management, got involved in the online feud and faced consequences shortly afterward.

On January 18, 2020, Justin Bieber unexpectedly was asked to leave a gym room in Hollywood.

It turned out that the reason was… Taylor Swift’s presence there. It’s known that the popular singer had a private training contract, securing the entire gym room. Despite being informed, Justin Bieber remained firm and unwilling to leave.

He continued his workout until he was eventually forced to leave amid an awkward situation.

The interesting thing is that Justin Bieber had no idea that the person who “kicked him out” that day was Taylor Swift. Likewise, Taylor Swift also didn’t know that Justin Bieber was working out there, as they used different entrances.

Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber were once close friends when the male singer was dating Selena Gomez. Going against the timeline, Taylor had invited Justin Bieber to open two concerts during the Fearless World Tour in the UK.

The male singer later appeared at the Speak Now tour and various other events alongside Taylor Swift. However, the friendship between Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber took a break due to the romantic controversies involving Justin and Selena Gomez.

In 2019, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber found themselves in a public feud over music producer Scooter Braun. Specifically, in June 2019, Scott Borchetta sold Big Machine Records, along with the rights to Taylor Swift’s first six albums, to Scooter Braun.

The female singer expressed her frustration, accusing Scooter Braun of essentially taking ownership of her musical works. This sentiment was accompanied by a post featuring a photo that Justin Bieber had shared in 2016.

In the photo, Justin Bieber was on a Facetime call with Scooter Braun, Martin Garrix, and Kanye West – who happened to be Taylor Swift’s number one adversary. The male singer also added the caption “What up Taylor Swift?” in a mocking tone towards his former friend.
