Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been friends for several years now. They first crossed paths in 2008. The two singers even celebrate each other on social media, marking birthdays and album drops.
Taylor Swift Masters Dispute
The dispute dates back to 2019, when celebrity music manager Scooter Braun bought Swift's former record label, Big Machine, and all her songs, including Speak Now, Fearless, Red, 1989, and Reputation.
Since then, Swift had been raising personal objections to the deal, even blaming Braun for launching 'incessant, manipulative bullying" against her via his client, Kanye West. During this time, the singer even resorted to re-recording her first six albums as a way to regain ownership. Throughout the feud, many celebrities took sides, with Gomez, Halsey, Ed Sheeran and Camilla Cabello siding with Swift. Scooter Braun received support from the likes of Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber.
After Taylor Swift regained her master recordings, Braun said that he was 'happy" for her, as per reports.

Have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost it? Royal Family source makes shocking claim after ‘fake bump' video goes viral
Meghan Markle recently took to Instagram to post a video of herself twerking while being pregnant with Princess Lili, but a Royal Palace source has reportedly told DailyMail that the general notion around the Royal Family is that Prince Harry and Markle have 'completely lost it.' The video released by Markle shows her twerking with her baby bump. She wrote in the caption, "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work-there was only one thing left to do!" She posted this on the occasion of Princess Lili's birthday, as Markle was pregnant with her at the time of filming this clip. According to Daily Mail, this video is being considered 'tragic' by the Royal Palace ever since it went viral on the Internet. The main aim of posting the video supposedly was to shut trolls who claim that the couple surrogated their children, but all it has done is add further fuel to the fire due to certain 'loopholes' in the video. Meanwhile, body language experts suggested that it is not physically and mentally possible for Markle to do what was being done by her in the video at that stage of pregnancy.
