Taylor Swift tried to remove Justin Bieber and others from gym because she wanted a private workout session
Pop star Taylor Swift apparently doesn’t like sharing. According to reports, the 30-year-old singer recently attempted to have, among others, Justin Bieber removed from the Dogpound Gym in West Hollywood.
Of course, Bieber did not comply. When the 25-year-old ‘Yummy’ artist and his security team were approached and asked to leave, they refused to budge until Bieber had finished his workout. He and his crew left right after completing his session, completely unaware that Swift was the one who had requested they exit. Once Bieber left, the remaining gym members were also reportedly asked to leave. According to TMZ, a source at the gym said that Swift had an appointment with a trainer where she had specified that she would like to train alone in the facility and that this incident was not personal.
Personal or not, there is bad blood between Bieber and Swift. Last year, Swift had accused Scooter Braun, who manages Bieber and Kanye West, of bullying after he became the owner of most of her music. Braun, who bought the record label Big Machine for $300 million, according to Swift was trying to “dismantle” her legacy. Swift said that she had been unable to own the rights to her own music because of a record deal she signed at 15. Big Machine owns the rights to the six albums she released between 2006 and 2017.
Swift wrote last year, “I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past. Music I wrote on my bedroom floor and videos I dreamed up and paid for from the money I earned playing in bars, then clubs, then arenas, then stadiums.”
She had added, “All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I've received at his (Scooter Braun’s) hands for years.”
Bieber, on the other hand, came to Braun’s defense. “For you to take it to social media and get people to hate on Scooter isn't fair,” he wrote. “What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? Seems to me like it was to get sympathy. You also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully Scooter.”
