ICYMI, there’s been some serious bad blood going on between Hailey Bieber and Taylor Swift fans this week.
Now, the model is waving that white flag and asking for peace.
Believe it or not, the drama all started over a banana video…
Yes, really.
That’s because Taylor’s mother, Andrea, had secretly recorded the singer after she got lasik eye surgery.
At the time, Tay had been on “some pretty hardcore pills” that made her loopy.
That’s not all. To make matters even more embarrassing, Andrea then sent the clip to Jimmy Fallon ahead of Tay’s appearance on the late-night talk show!
Of course, Jimmy surprised Taylor by playing the clip on TV…
It starts with Taylor standing in her kitchen, wearing protective goggles. She later revealed that they were taped to her head, because, fashion.
When she picks up a banana, she becomes very distraught over it not being the one she wanted.
Plus, it lost its “head” in the process.
“Stop, you can’t cry! That’s not supposed to be what you’re doing!” her mother said.
The camera then cuts to Taylor eating the banana in bed.
“Don’t fall asleep eating the banana!” Andrea warned her.
Taylor hilariously responded with: “I’m not asleep, my mind is alive!”
Given how hilarious the whole thing is, the clip has been watched by millions of people, including Justin and Hailey Bieber.
Now, before we go any further, let’s get one thing straight: Swift is not on good terms with the married couple.
Their beef goes back a few years to when Justin allegedly bullied Taylor on social media.
Justin had shared this screenshot of a FaceTime call between himself, his manager Scooter Braun, and Kayne West, Taylor’s arch-nemesis.
To make matters worse, he captioned it: “Taylor swift what up.”
Then Taylor called out Scooter this past summer, saying that he also bullied her in the past.
She was understandably upset that Braun ended up owning most of her music after the purchase of the record company she used to be part of.
When everything happened, Justin got involved by coming to his manager’s defense with an Instagram post addressed to Swift.
Hailey prompted anger from people, especially model Cara Delevingne, for writing “gentleman” under his post.
Cara called out Hailey for not sticking up for women.
Justin’s post was pretty extensive and actually started with an apology.
“Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive,” he wrote.
He then claimed Scooter had no part in the bullying Taylor faced and that it was all his own fault.
“I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said ‘taylor swift what up’ he didn’t have anything to do with it and wasn’t even a part of the conversation.”
“In all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.”
Justin then went on to accuse Taylor of using the situation to manipulate her fans, saying, “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. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you.”
Needless to say, this post didn’t sit well with Taylor’s fans.
So with all this bad blood going on, Justin re-enacting the now-infamous banana video on Hailey’s Instagram stories hasn’t sit well with Taylor Swift fans.
As part of the backlash, Hailey squared up against some of the trolls.
In now-deleted tweets, the model responded to one who told her to “shut up” and “stay out of people’s business.”
She continued: “Listen. I think it’s awesome how passionate you are and how hard you ride for someone you’re a fan of, it’s beautiful how dedicated you are.”
“If there’s something I did to personally hurt you or offend you I’m sorry, it’s not my intention to upset you by any means but being angry at someone you don’t know does nothing for you.”
“I know cause I been there..all it’s gonna do is make you miserable. Don’t let ME of all people get you feeling that way. Trust me, I’m not worth the energy, nobody should be worth that energy.”
Now, Hailey seems to be backtracking from all of the drama by sharing bible verses to her Instagram stories this past Monday.
The passage said: “How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along! It’s like costly anointing oil flowing down head and beard, flowing down Aaron’s beard, flowing down the collar of his priestly robes.”
“It’s like the dew on Mount Hermon flowing down the slopes of Zion. Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing, ordains eternal life. Psalm 133:1-3.”
While Hailey has since deleted the post, her message is clear: she wants peace!
Given the fact that she’s in the middle of celebrating her second wedding to Justin, you can’t really blame her!
What do you think of all the drama? Are you Team Taylor, Team Hailey, or Team Banana?
Obviously, Taylor Swift fans don’t give up that easily.
When someone shared this kind of funny, kind of embarrassing video of Justin skateboarding away from Hailey, who’s just fallen on the ground, they captioned it “Taylor Swift’s biggest fan.”
Some fans found a connection between Hailey’s fall and some of Taylor’s lyrics.
I’m sure Hailey was okay, and she was even joking about the event on Twitter afterwards, so it’s kind of a little funny to watch.
Probably even funnier for Swift fans.
