Taylor Swift's fans are conflicted over Blake Lively publicly praising Justin Bieber's return to the stage at Coachella 2026, with some suggesting she and her friend have 'grown apart' amid the Justin Baldoni legal feud.
Swift and Bieber's tension is usually traced back to their long-running connection with music manager Scooter Braun, who acquired the rights to Swift's early music catalogue in 2019 through a deal with Big Machine Records. Swift publicly criticised the sale, saying she was not given a fair chance to buy her masters, while Braun defended the purchase as a standard business move.
