Justin Bieber Faces Backlash for Using Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' in Instagram Post

Justin Bieber has sparked controversy by posting an Instagram Story featuring Taylor Swift's song 'Bad Blood' using the older version instead of Swift's re-recorded 'Taylor’s Version'. This move has led fans, particularly Swifties, to accuse Bieber of reigniting past tensions and seeking attention, especially given the timing coinciding with Selena Gomez's new single release. The history between Bieber and Swift is fraught, dating back to 2019 when Swift publicly criticized Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, for acquiring the rights to her early music catalog, a move she described as her 'worst-case scenario'. Fans on social media have expressed their displeasure, interpreting Bieber's post as a calculated attempt to provoke or gain clout rather than a genuine connection to the song. Many are questioning why he would not choose the re-recorded version if he truly respected Swift's artistry. The ongoing feud and Bieber's actions have kept the narrative alive, leading to speculation about his intentions.
