Biggest celebrity feuds: Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun and more

The drama began when Swift posted a lengthy Tumblr statement criticizing the sale of Big Machine Label Group to music tycoon Scooter Braun. As a result of the sale, Braun -- a man whom Swift accused of "incessant, manipulative bullying" -- now owns her work. "Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world," Swift wrote. "All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years.

Not long after Swift dragged Braun, the executive's wife, Yael Cohen Braun, took to Instagram to defend her husband. Though Swift said she was blindsided by the deal, Cohen Braun wrote Swift had a chance to buy her music herself and passed. "Your dad is a shareholder and was notified, and (Big Machine CEO Scott) Borchetta personally told you before this came out," she wrote. "Who are you to talk about bullying? The world has watched you collect and drop friends like wilted flowers."

It wasn't long before the music industry was up in arms and taking sides. Justin Bieber took to his Instagram to back up Braun. "Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you!" Bieber wrote. "What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter... I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line.

Demi Lovato also spoke to Braun's character on her Instagram story, calling him a "good man." "Personally, I'm grateful he came into my life when he did," she wrote. "Please stop 'dragging' people or bullying them. There's enough hate in the world as it is.

Halsey, however, sided with Swift. "It turns my guts that no matter how much power or success a woman has in this life, you are still susceptible to someone coming along and making you feel powerless out of spite," she wrote on Twitter. "It speaks volumes to how far we have to come in the music industry... I am standing with her."

Despite the drama, Swift said she hopes this story becomes a lesson to future artists. "Thankfully, I left my past in Scott's hands and not my future," she wrote. "And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotation. You deserve to own the art you make.

We still have a while before we finish, but we can all agree Kanye West and Taylor Swift have one of the greatest feuds of all time. Since Kanye interrupted Swift's speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 to praise Beyoncé, #KanTay has taken us on a 'Beautiful Dark Twisted' roller coaster ride.

You'll recall, when the award for best female video went to Swift over Queen Bey, her acceptance speech was hijacked by a disgruntled Kanye, who rushed the stage to profess "Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

Swift provided hopes of a truce in a 2010 'New York Magazine' interview, saying she might be over the shocking moment. "It doesn’t really add anything good if I start victimizing myself and complaining about things." She even presented West with the an honorary VMA in 2015.

Unfortunately West, seen here with Swift at the 2015 Grammys, restarted the feud when he dropped her name and called her an expletive in his 2016 track 'Famous.'

Did West have Swift's permission to spit "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that (expletive) famous?" Footage shared on Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat gives the impression he did, but Swift took issue with the explicit language. "Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me 'that (expletive)' in his song?” she wrote on Instagram. “It doesn't exist because it never happened.”

After sharing the audio file of Swift's conversation with West, Kardashian took to Twitter to seemingly snark about the exchange: "Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!? They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!" She included several snake emojis, which social media users then used to spam Swift's Instagram account.

Swift's next album, "Reputation," was largely in response to the hate she faced online in the aftermath of her Kardashian-West feud. Songs like "Look What You Made Me Do" and "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" made tongue-in-cheek references to West.

... The emoji even became a rallying cry for Swift's new era. She displayed an enormous inflatable snake during the "Reputation" tour and explained the significance to fans the first night: "I guess (with) the snakes, I wanted to send a message to you guys that if someone uses name-calling to bully you on social media and even if a lot of people jump on board with it, that doesn't have to defeat you. It can strengthen you instead."

Whoopi Goldberg and Roseanne Barr have known each other for years. They began feuding in May 2018.

Barr reposted a photo of Goldberg at the Women's March, which was Photoshopped to make it appear as though "The View" host was wearing a shirt with a vulgar image of President Donald Trump.

Goldberg clarified on air that the shirt read "And you thought I was a nasty woman before? Buckle up, buttercup." She then accused Barr of trying to distract from the racist tweet she posted about Obama White House aide Valerie Jarrett.

"Just be cause you were caught with your pants down, don't try to drag other people down with you," Goldberg lectured the former "Roseanne" star. "You understand? Don't do that... The bottom line is simply this: I didn't fake my shirt, someone else faked my shirt. But that's your tweet. That tweet came from you, so that's yours. You did this to yourself."

Could it have all been a marketing scheme? Rappers Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly had a bizarre feud in 2018 that seemed to start with one rapper's album release and end with another's EP.

It all started with a diss track on Eminem's surprise album "Kamikaze" in August 2018, which saved an entire verse to air grievances against Machine Gun Kelly.

Kelly then released his own song, "Rap Devil," which earned his first Hot 100 track while building a drama between "the past and the (expletive future)" of rap artists.

The feud continued as each rapper rallied their respective fans behind dissing the other... that is, until Kelly's EP "Binge" came out on Sept. 21, and both rappers mysteriously fell silent.

Sometimes instead of aligning, stars clash in a fiery blaze. Take Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna for example. In 2016, they were engaged to be married, the following year Blac Chyna was granted a restraining order against Kardashian after he shared nude images of her online in a vengeful rant.

In happier days, the parents to daughter Dream opened up to 'People' magazine about their relationship for a 2016 cover story. "She got me through my darkest times," Kardashian said of his ex, crediting her for help him break his habit of isolating himself following his weight gain.

Viewers got a behind the scenes look at their tumultuous relationship when Blac Chyna, seen here at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, and her former flame starred on the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' spinoff 'Rob and Chyna.'

During disagreements, Kardashian would often vent on social media, as he did on July 5, 2017, when he posted images of Chyna's naked breasts, backside and genitals.

Seen with her lawyers Lisa Bloom, left, and Walter Mosley after winning a temporary restraining order against Kardashian on July 10, Blac Chyna told ABC News she was shocked by his actions. "This is a person that I trusted," she said. "I felt ... betrayed."

It's no secret that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have 'Bad Blood.' During a recent 'Carpool Karaoke' segment with James Corden in May, Perry stopped singing just long enough to confirm the rumored feud between the two.

Perry, seen here performing at the 2017 Glastonbury Festival, told Corden that their feud stemmed from a fight over three backup dancers. As Perry tells it, they sought her permission to tour with Swift. Perry agreed but advised dancers to include a 30-day contingency in their contracts so they could join her at a later date.

Perry, seen at during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, said that when she told the dancers they would be needed, they were fired after approaching Swift's management.

Perry claimed she attempted unsuccessfully to talk to Swift, pictured in concert in 2016. "It was a full shutdown," she told Corden, "and then she writes a song (believed to be 'Bad Blood') about me."

What was Swift's response to Perry's revelation? Some on Twitter thought her decision to return to Spotify and other streaming services the same June night Perry's album 'Witness' was released spoke volumes. When asked about the move on 'Today' Perry replied, 'I don't know.' She also said, 'I love her and God bless her on her journey.'

Feud over? Swift revealed in May 2018 at the start of her "Reputation" tour that Perry had sent an "actual olive branch" to her dressing room as a way to make amends. "This means so much to me," the singer shared in an Instagram story. "Thank you, Katy."

The singers continued to slowly build a friendship — Perry recently recalled a visit to Swift's house, where the two baked cookies together. And Perry even made a cameo in her former enemy's new music video, "You Need To Calm Down." The only beef left between the two belongs to the hamburger costume she wore on set.

The feud between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez started with four little words: 'I don't know her.' When asked about Lopez in an interview, MC uttered the response that the Internet deemed shade and reveled in.

The feud swelled when Jenny from the Block, pictured at NBC's fall schedule presentation in May, was caught on her phone during Carey's 2015 Billboard Music Awards performance.

Lopez, at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards, addressed the squabble on an episode of ' Watch What Happens Live.' "I may have looked down (at my phone) for one second and people were like, ‘Look at her! Look at her!’"

A few month's after JLo's appearance in Andy Cohen's clubhouse, Carey, pictured at the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards, also stopped by Bravo's late-night show.

She defended the interview that started it all, explaining, "Apparently, I'm forgetful, because I don't remember the fact that it was just like, 'Hi, I'm so and so' and then move on."

'What's good?' Not the once-simmering beef stew between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj. Prior to hosting the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, Cyrus shared some thoughts about Minaj's expressed disappointment that she was overlooked in some categories. That made for an awkward moment when Minaj tossed it to Cyrus after picking up a trophy at the ceremony.

As a refresher, Minaj, disappointed by the lack of VMA nods took to Twitter in 2015 to express her frustration. "If I was a different 'kind' of artist, 'Anaconda' would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well," she wrote. In another tweet she wrote, "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

When asked about Minaj's tweets in an interview with 'The New York Times' published in August of that year, Cyrus called the rapper 'not too kind.'

Cyrus, seen hosting the VMAs on Aug. 30, 2015, also criticized Minaj for her approach. "If you want to make it about race, there’s a way you could do that," Cyrus said. "But don’t make it just about yourself."

After accepting the award for best hip hop music video, Minaj made the jaw-dropping call-out. "And now... back to this (expletive) that had a lot to say about me in the press," she said. "Miley, what’s good?"

And the feud has continued into 2019: fans questioned whether Cyrus was throwing shade in her new song "Cattitude," with the lyric: "I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi." Cyrus clarified the lyrics on Roman Kemp's Capital Breakfast radio show in May, saying there is no beef anymore. “They’re both queens," she said. "And anytime you want to feel powerful and strong, that’s my go-to: Cardi and Nicki.

But Minaj slammed her fellow music star a few months later on her "Queen Radio" show. "Perdue Chickens can never talk (expletive) about queens," Minaj said, referring to Cyrus as the former. "But I do notice a lot of Perdue chickens have been trying to say the queen's name for clout. And that's always been happening. And that's what (Cyrus) did in the first place. And the white girl cry and made the black girl seem like she was a bad guy... She disrespected me in a magazine article for no reason.

Elton John and Madonna are far from being feud virgins. In 2002, The 'Rocket Man' singer reportedly dubbed Madonna's 'Die Another Day' theme song 'the worst Bond tune ever.'

Over the years, John pictured at a concert in 2017, has been vocal about his disdain for Madonna. He insinuated that she lip syncs during his acceptance speech at the Q Awards in 2004, scoffing at the idea she would be considered the best live act. 'Since when has lip-syncing been live?' he asked. 'Sorry about that, but I think everyone who lip-syncs in public on stage when you pay like 75 quid to see them should be shot.'

John's digs didn't stop there. During an interview that aired in 2012 on Australia's Channel 7, he called Madge a "nightmare" and predicted, "Her career's over."

The following year, John told 'Extra' he and Madonna, pictured at the Billboard Women in Music honors in 2016, had buried the hatchet.

'We (made up) in a restaurant in France in the summertime,' John explained of his encounter with Madonna, pictured in 2016 in London. "She came in. I sent over a note. She was very gracious. I apologized profusely because what I said should never have appeared in public. She was very gracious."

'Three Kings' star George Clooney and the film's director David O. Russell, on the set of the 1999 film, did not get along, as documented in a 2003 'Vanity Fair' profile.

Clooney, pictured with his costars Ice Cube, left, and Mark Wahlberg, center, said, "I would not stand for (Russell) humiliating and yelling and screaming at crew members, who weren’t allowed to defend themselves." Clooney continued, "I don’t believe in it, and it makes me crazy."

Clooney, top right near Russell in blue, said he made it his mission to retaliate. "My job was then to humiliate the people who were doing the humiliating," he told 'Vanity Fair.'

In the same story, Russell, seen at the Oscars in 2014, claimed, "(Clooney’s) a super-political, extremely manipulative guy, and he’s not an artist. I think George is super-invested in making himself look like a good guy all the time. I think George will be president."

Clooney isn't the only one affected by Russell, posing at the Oscars in 2016 with Jennifer Lawrence. JLaw's 'American Hustle' co-star Amy Adams who told 'GQ' in 2016 that she was "really just devastated" for most of the time spent working with the director, who made her cry.

Changing zip codes didn't do much for Shannen Doherty's reputation of having an on-set personality that could rival any of the villains from those delicious Aaron Spelling dramas. She and her 'Charmed' co-star Alyssa Milano, left, weren't exactly as close as the sisters they played.

The two starred in the WB series that ran from 1998-2006 with Holly Marie Combs, right. Doherty departed the show in 2001 after its third-season finale.

Milano coyly confirmed the drama on 'Watch What Happens Live' in 2013. "I can tell you that we were on the air with her for three years and there were definitely some rough days," she confessed calling the experience "very much sort of like high school."

Milano has said she reached out to Doherty via social media after learning of her 2015 breast cancer diagnosis.

Following Doherty's exit, Rose McGowan, left, became Milano and Combs' co-star.

It's a good thing Debbie Reynolds, right, is well-versed in 'Singin' in the Rain.' Her friend, Elizabeth Taylor, and then-husband, singer/actor Eddie Fisher, had an affair that was splashed across the pages of numerous tabloids.

Reynolds, pictured with Fisher on their wedding day in 1955, was close enough to Taylor to act as her matron of honor when she wed producer Mike Todd in 1957.

Fisher and Taylor, seen in a photo from 1959, got close after Todd died in a plane crash in 1958. The two exchanged vows in 1959, the same year Fisher divorced Reynolds.

"We were friends for years and years," Reynolds told 'People' of Taylor, seen with Fisher after their Las Vegas wedding ceremony, "but we had a lapse of time when she took Eddie to live with her because she liked him, too. She liked him well enough to take him without an invitation!"

Reynolds, bottom left, and Taylor, bottom right, resolved their issues when they coincidentally ended up on the same cruise ship. They later starred with Shirley MacLaine, top left, and Joan Collins, top right, in the 2001 ABC television movie 'These Old Broads.'

The wedge between the subjects of 'Feud's' first season, Joan Crawford, left, and Bette Davis, was legendarily hammered into place on the set of the 1962 film 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?' The actresses are shown in a scene from the movie.

Both desired the role of Baby Jane Hudson and previously, Crawford had made Davis' reported love interest, Franchot Tone, her second husband in 1935.

In a piece for 'Vanity Fair' published in 2001, producer William Frye wrote that Crawford's antics (both on and off-set) drove Davis "crazy."

Davis's work on 'Baby Jane' earned her a best-actress Oscar nomination in 1963, which she lost to Anne Bancroft. According to Frye, Davis was so outraged when her rival accepted it on behalf of an absent Bancroft, she longed to launch a full glass of scotch "into (Crawford's) (expletive) face" at an after-party.
