LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Although Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande have never publicly feuded, Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, criticized Grande after she shared a supportive message for Scooter Braun

The backlash stems from the long-standing feud between Swift and Braun, which began when Swift accused him of acquiring the rights to her music without her permission. 

While Swift has moved on by re-recording her albums, Swifties are still upset with Braun and are now questioning Grande’s loyalty, accusing her of siding with the music mogul.
