Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber ALMOST had a run in at a Los Angeles gym.
Over the weekend, Justin was trying to get some work out in – but, apparently, he hit up the same gym that Taylor had booked for a private session.
Justin gave fans a sneak peek at his gym time on Instagram Story – which included dancing in front of the mirror to his new single, “Yummy.”
According to TMZ, Taylor had booked an appointment with a trainer – and booked the entire gym so she could train alone.
EVERYONE, including Justin, who didn’t have an appointment, was asked to leave when Taylor rolled up- But he and his crew reportedly didn’t leave for quite a bit because he had to finish his work out.
ICYMI, Taylor and Justin don’t really see eye to eye – mostly because of Tay’s feud with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun.
Scooter acquired Tay’s master recordings when he purchased her former label, Big Machine Records last summer. Taylor opened up about about the whole ish in a lengthy tumblr post, and also accused Scooter of having his two clients bully her. Justin responded to Taylor’s claims, apologizing – but he also hit back that she was trying to get sympathy from fans.
Then, a few months ago, Taylor claimed that Scooter and Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta wouldn’t let her perform her old songs at the 2019 American Music Awards, where she was being honored with Artist of the Decade Award. She also said that they declined the use of her older music and performance footage in her upcoming Netflix documentary, Miss Americana, which is set to drop on January 30.
Justin jumped to his manager’s defense and basically accused Tay of lying – posting a TMZ article with the headline “Taylor Swift Free to Play All Her Hits During AMAs…Big Machine Can’t Stop Her” in his Instagram Stories.
Scooter has also denied Taylor’s accusations. A source told Entertainment Tonight in December that Big Machine Records has cleared the music she will be using in the documentary.
Whew! So. Much. Drama.
But for this particular instance, there’s no actual drama. According to the TMZ’s report, Justin didn’t even know it was Taylor who had booked the gym. And it’s highly likely that Tay also didn’t know that Justin was in the gym before her appointment. It was just a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
