Justin Bieber Did Not Say “Who Even Likes Taylor Swift?
Justin Bieber is a big fan of Taylor Swift‘s song “I Knew You Were Trouble!”
The 22-year-old entertainer took to Ellen Degeneres‘ Snapchat to share a quick video singing the first few words on the song!
This isn’t the first time Justin has covered Tay‘s song though! Earlier in the summer, he sang a snippet of the hit song with his friend Martin Garrix.
Back in May, he shared another cover video of Taylor‘s song “Teardrops on My Guitar” and she famously liked the video on Instagram.
The Daily Mail claims, “It seems the ‘Sorry’ singer may be trying to start a bit of a tiff with Taylor Swift. Justin was captured by the JustinBieberTracker Instagram account taking a selfie video in which he wears a white t-shirt and holds a bottle of blue drink. After checking to make sure the device was recording, he sings a line from Swift’s I Knew You Were Trouble from 2012. His caption curiously read: ‘Who even likes taylor swift?'”
The British tabloid accuses Bieber of “starting a row” and “throwing shade” with that caption. There is one significant problem, though. The singer himself did NOT write that caption or say anything about Swift at all.
Here’s what really happened: Bieber was at a taping for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he filmed a snippet for the program’s Snapchat. It features the performer innocuously singing, “I knew you were trouble when you walked in.” And that’s it.
But the @justinbiebertracker on Instagram shared the footage, and wrote its own caption. The person who runs the account, which attempts to track Bieber’s every move, is the one who wrote, “Who even likes Taylor Swift?” It was NOT Bieber’s own caption from Snapchat or Instagram, and he doesn’t even have personal accounts for either service anymore.
