There has been some bad blood between Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift over the way Bieber has seemingly sided with Scooter Braun, the music industry’s greatest humanitarian, over the rights to Swift’s master tapes of her old albums. I don’t know what she’s so mad about, all her fans are going to buy all those albums a second time when she re-records them anyway, she’s going to make a mint.
But if you were wondering who the bigger star was, it appears to be Swift, who demanded a gym that Justin Bieber was working out at be shut down so she could work out there.
TMZ, who reported on the incident, said that Swift had an appointment that included renting the whole gym, but it still seems like a power move to me.
We’re told everyone — including JB was asked to get the heck out of the gym — because Taylor had an appointment. Justin’s security team was approached and asked to leave, but JB’s team held firm and said he was going to finish his workout before taking off.
We’re told Justin, who did not have an appointment, finished — although he was mostly goofing around and dancing — and left … but he had no idea it was Taylor who had requested the gym be cleared. Once he left, everyone who remained was asked to leave.
On the other hand, going “Naw, we’re good, Taylor Swift can wait until we’re done” and then dicking around is also a power move.
This just begs the question, though; if you’re Taylor Swift and you need the gym cleared out for you to do squats or whatever, why not just have a home gym? She owns 8 homes, you’re telling me she can’t put some dumbbells in one of them?
This is the sort of s**t someone does when they need everyone to know how important they are. “Oh, the gym is closed so Taylor Swift can work out, isn’t she special?”
