According to People, the song “Cannonball” performed by Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber leaked on social networks. It is known that this song was recorded in August 2011 but has never been released.

The song was expected to be released on the album “Believe” (2012) but unfortunately was removed by Justin at the last minute. To date, it is still the only collaborative work that the two stars have achieved in the music industry.

The “country music princess” and the “pop prince” once had a close friendship. They have known each other since they were teenagers and became admirable close friends of showbiz.

In 2009, Taylor Swift had her first tour at the age of 19 and she invited Justin Bieber to perform at the concert at Wembley, England. At that time, Justin was only 15 years old, causing a global sensation with the song “Baby”.

Two years later, Justin Bieber continued to guest on the second tour of the American country music princess.

The pair’s friendship became even closer when Justin Bieber dated Selena Gomez. All three accompany each other at many events, always cheering each other on in their careers.

However, the relationship between Justin and Taylor broke down when the singer’s relationship with Selena Gomez encountered problems. Selena broke up with Justin Bieber in early 2013 after a tense argument.

Seeing her best friend suffer because of Justin, Taylor Swift also broke off the relationship with the male singer, even implying that he was bad and cheated on his girlfriend. Media reported that the “Speak Now” singer advised Selena to end her relationship with Justin.

At the 2013 Billboard Awards, when Selena Gomez saw Justin Bieber come in to say hello and kiss each other’s cheeks, Taylor Swift was very uncomfortable. She walked by and stuck her tongue out to show Justin her attitude.

Some time later, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up many times. He believes that Taylor affects the relationship, causing conflicts between him and his girlfriend.

In the song “All Bad” composed in 2013, Justin wrote about a person who interrupted his relationship. The song says: “Don’t let anyone change your mood. That person came between us. The bad thing is that sometimes your enemy is your best friend.” The audience thought that Justin Bieber was hinting at Taylor Swift.

In 2016, amid the controversy between Kanye West and Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber publicly sided with Kanye. The male singer posted a photo of him making a video call with Kanye and manager Scooter Braun with a provocative caption: “Taylor, what’s going on?”.

This image received more than 1 million likes, but Justin Bieber was harshly criticized for mocking and disrespecting Taylor Swift. The couple’s relationship officially “changed from friends to enemies”.

In 2019, the male singer caused a stir when he posted an apology for mocking Taylor Swift. However, he still defended Scooter Braun – who had a discordant relationship with Taylor and spent money to own the copyrights to many of the singer’s music products.

To date, Taylor Swift is still close with Selena Gomez but has “retired” from Justin Bieber after many confrontations on social networks. The relationship between the two female singers and Justin Bieber and his wife is also not harmonious.
