Calvin Harris & Zayn Malik Twitter Feud: Taylor Swift's Boyfriend Defends 'Bad Blood' Singer After Malik Slam
There is Taylor Swift-related drama on Twitter again, except this time, instead of the singer doing the tweeting, it's her boyfriend Calvin Harris making headlines for defending her.
According to Time, the new Twitter feud is between Harris and Zayn Malik, and began after Malik, a former member of One Direction, retweeted an image that compared Swift and Miley Cyrus. The image attempts to paint Swift in a negative light by featuring her discussing taking her music off of Spotify, leaving her fans to access her album on iTunes. Cyrus, however, is pictured saying she doesn't need any more money and is happy with what she has.
The tweet, which clearly attempts to make Swift look greedy, included the phrase "The difference is astounding."
Once Harris caught wind of the tweet, the DJ quickly spoke out in a series of tweets defending Swift's famous decision to remove her music from Spotify. He explained how her decision was to stand up for the 99% of artists who don't make millions like Malik, Harris and Swift herself have.
Malik didn't hesitate to respond to Harris' series of tweets. He suggested the DJ was embarrassing himself and went on to insult the "How Deep Is Your Love" musician.
Fans on Twitter have been taking sides, and One Direction member Louis Tomlinson even got involved in the drama by favoriting Harris' first tweet. Swift has yet to comment on the drama, but after her feud with Nicki Minaj on Twitter, she is most likely not going to.
In July, Minaj became upset when her music video for her song "Anaconda" wasn't nominated for the video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards.
"If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for video of the year. Oh but trust me. I'll be on that stage to collect my awards for video of the year," the rapper tweeted. This led Swift, being the only thin white female in that category, to believe that Minaj was attacking her, and the "Bad Blood" singer responded, saying she did nothing wrong and had "nothing but love" for Minaj.
This began a series of back and fourth tweets between the two stars, with most defending Minaj and criticizing Swift for missing the bigger picture of what Minaj was saying about black women in music, reported E! Online.
Swift eventually apologized to Minaj through Twitter, although the two reportedly spoke in private as well, and the two stars made up.
