I don’t know what that proves, so I don’t really understand the Taylor Swift squad at all.” It’s unclear when the episode aired, but Bieber co-hosted “Drop the Mic” from October 2017 to March 2019. She then shrugged her shoulders and continued looking straight-faced into the camera.

Hailey Bieber was seen gagging at the mention of Taylor Swift in a resurfaced video on TikTok. Selena Gomez responded.

The supposed drama between the pop star and model dates back to 2018, when Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey six months after his final breakup with on-and-off girlfriend Gomez, leading to allegations that Hailey “ [stole](https://www.glamour.com/story/hailey-bieber-wants-people-to-know-the-truth-about-justin-and-selena-gomez)” the “Baby” singer, blah, blah, blah.

“So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game,” Gomez [comments](https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1628798949610987522). [stepping away](https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1628865745416343554) from social media. The video is overlaid with text that claims Bieber is a “mean girl” and a “Bully.” The caption also includes snake and rat emojis. TikTok user @ellenacuario posts a [video](https://www.tiktok.com/@ellenacuario/video/7186742923239640366) reacting to this theory, and asks, “Isn’t Hailey the one that, like, begged Selena to tell off her fans for bullying her?” Her video caption references Bieber’s maiden name and reads, “That whole BALDWIN clan needs to go.” Gomez replies in the comments section, “It’s ok! One is a selfie of Jenner captioned, “this was an accident???” The other is a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Bieber, where both women have moved their faces — and thus their eyebrows — close to the camera. I love who I am”), but says that she will be I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.” Her decision comes after fans recently theorized that Gomez has been shaded online by both Hailey Bieber (who is married to [Gomez’s ex](https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/selena-gomez-new-song-justin-bieber.html), Justin Bieber) and Kylie Jenner (whom Gomez just [passed](https://etcanada.com/news/970888/selena-gomez-passes-kylie-jenner-to-become-the-most-followed-woman-on-instagram/) to become the most-followed woman on Instagram).

In the video, Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Justine Skye are lip-syncing to a viral audio that says, “I’m not saying she deserves it, but God’s timing is always right.” [getting body-shamed](https://www.glamour.com/story/selena-gomez-bikini-vacation-comments) after recently wearing a bikini on vacation. @riristea wonders if the video might be a subtle message to someone, but Bieber herself appears in the comments section to deny this.

Selena Gomez is speaking up and defending her bestie Taylor Swift after a short video of Hailey Bieber has recently resurfaced on TikTok.

[TikTok Story,](https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1628401711877435392?s=20) Selena Gomez said she wished she was "as pretty as Bella Hadid." [post on Instagram](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/02/selena-gomez-hollywood-issue-2023) on her behalf, she likes the video platform better. Selena assured her fans that she loves them and is very happy, and that the break won't be too long. UPDATE: Selena is hitting the pause button on social media for a bit. Of course, it's worth noting that this clip is not current and it's not entirely clear from the brief segment if this was a joke, but fans are up in arms over the gesture — and Selena hopped into the comments to stand by Taylor. At one point in the video, which is a few years old, the name "Taylor Swift" is mentioned regarding her lyrics and Hailey visibly gags, pretending to stick her finger down her throat as the crowd laughs.

How a video on laminated brows, Hailey Bieber, and Kylie Jenner ended in Selena Gomez defending Taylor Swift and deleting her TikTok.

“This is reaching,” [Jenner wrote in the comments](https://www.tiktok.com/@devotedly.yours/video/7203178307498593578). “So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game,” Gomez wrote. [@devotedly.yours](https://www.tiktok.com/@devotedly.yours/video/7203010170912492846), broke down her interpretation of the “shade,” prompting both Jenner and Gomez to respond. [Bieber said](https://www.thecut.com/2022/10/hailey-bieber-justin-bieber-selena-gomez.html) in an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast last year. “I have every right to defend my friends,” she wrote, per a screenshot shared by Stephanie Tleiji, aka Last year, [Gomez denied making fun of Bieber ](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/selena-gomez-hailey-bieber-tiktok_n_627c1d68e4b010453ae06839)in a skincare TikTok video posted earlier that year. Now four months later, things took a turn for the worst, when a post from Gomez about her over-laminated brows and some perceived shade from [Kylie Jenner](https://www.thecut.com/2023/02/kylie-jenner-postpartum-depression.html) ended in the singer leaving the platform entirely. This is silly.” Gomez agreed, later commenting that she was a “fan” of Jenner’s. “I’m gonna be taking a second from social media ‘cause this is a little silly and I’m 30. The model has long denied any bad blood between them, but their fans have known to fight each other in the comments on social media. Gomez’s exodus from TikTok comes after a few days of speculation around her relationship with Bieber, who married Gomez’s ex, Justin Bieber, very soon after their final breakup, causing years of speculation. This isn’t the first time Gomez has stepped away from social media.

Selena Gomez and social media have had a tumultuous relationship since the very beginning. Instagram, Twitter, even TikTok all embraced the actress from the ...

And while she might be leaving social media on a low, her time apart will likely turn into a high in regards to her mental health. Of course, not long after Gomez commented on the TikTok, it became worldwide news, and now, Gomez is seemingly ready to ditch the last form of social media she actually enjoyed. She followed that up with her own version, saying, “My name is Selena Gomez,” claiming her name “doesn’t even sound sexy.” The posts were also combined with a photo [Gomez posted of Hadid on her Instagram story](https://twitter.com/HadidNews/status/1628142067779260416) with the simple caption, “#girlcrush.” She almost got through the week and ended on the high of her new Most Followed title, but now, the drama press circuit is going to get worked up all over again. On Thursday, the actress went live on TikTok to announce she’s taking a break from social media. In the clip, Bieber’s cohost, Method Man, mentions a “one on one rap battle full of the meanest lyrics about a celebrity since Taylor Swift’s last album.” Upon hearing Swift’s name, Bieber makes a throwing up gesture. She’s not on a social media hiatus anymore, but Gomez revealed to “This is reaching,” she commented on the video. “I deleted this one time because I thought maybe it was too much but eh,” she said, clearly feeling the power of being the most followed. Just a few hours later, and Jenner took to Instagram and shared a selfie with the caption, “this was an accident?” right on top of her own brows. It was a reach from the start, but the Internet is constantly looking for a ways to pit Bieber and Gomez against each other. On Instagram, specifically, Gomez has long been one of the most followed, but around 2018, she decided she had to take a step back.

Selena Gomez has quit Instagram, just a day after being named the most followed woman on the site once again.

Hailey Bieber was seen gagging at the mention of Taylor Swift in a resurfaced video on TikTok. Selena Gomez responded.

On 23 February, Glamour reported that there is no beef between the Rare Beauty and the Kylie Cosmetics moguls after Jenner was dragged into ongoing fan wars surrounding Gomez and Bieber. This time, one “So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game,” Gomez replied to the TikTok post, which described Bieber as a “mean girl” and a “bully.” The supposed drama between the pop star and model dates back to 2018, when Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey six months after his final breakup with on-and-off girlfriend Gomez, leading to allegations that Hailey “stole” the “Baby” singer, blah, blah, blah.

Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber (previously Baldwin) have been in one another's orbit for over a decade now. But the drama doesn't start and end there.

“So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game," Selena writes. However, it appears that both Kylie and Selena have quashed any rumours, with Kylie saying, "This is reaching. In the clip we see Hailey pretend to gag when Taylor Swift and her latest album are mentioned. This led fans to wonder whether some serious shade was being thrown towards Selena and her eyebrows. Even though the video made no mention of Selena, it was around the same time she was being trolled on the internet, and it was deleted rather swiftly thereafter. In the same interview, Hailey says that there is “no drama” with Selena. [Selena Gomez](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/a43017526/selena-gomez-natural-curly-hair-texture/) and [Hailey Bieber](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/fashion/celebrity/a42932778/hailey-bieber-mini-cutout-dress/) (previously Baldwin) have been in one another’s orbit for well over a decade now. [Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0EBTCiYZl535zGYjbC6LXo?si=ae65af9e437a46f3&nd=1), Hailey addressed claims that she had stolen Justin from Selena. In July 2018 Justin and Hailey not only got back together but ultimately got engaged. This isn’t the last time that Hailey tweeted her support for the couple. Justin and Selena spark more rumours after they are seen cycling together, with Selena wearing Justin’s hockey jersey, in October.
