"My heart is so heavy right now. It makes me sick and extremely angry," Selena wrote on social media. "I don't mind if there may be a retaliation). This is my opinion. It's greed manipulation and power. There is no heart or thought of anyone else's. No respect for the words my friend has written since she was 14 years old in her bedroom."

"Corporate power should not have the right to control what @taylorswift13 can and can not do," Swift's model pal tweeted, "and then have the audacity to deny their actions?!"

"As a fan of Taylor's music forever, I have some of the best memories of my life listening to her first albums. I remember listening to songs like 'Love Story' or 'You Belong With Me' or 'The Best Day' on the reputation tour and crying from how much those songs mean to be," she wrote in part of the post. "It feels heartbreaking and like the world is being robbed of something important and beautiful that she can't sing these songs, her life's work, with her fans."

Justin Bieber

The "Baby" singer, previously represented by Braun, defended him in a message to Swift, writing, "Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven't crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn't fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and I love you."

In response to this post, Hailey Bieber commented, "gentleman."

Cara Delevingne

After seeing the posts from the Biebers, Delevingne commented, "Gentleman? @haileybieber @justinbieber you must be bored. I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions. As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is. This issue that @taylorswift is talking out is about far more than a picture and you know that. As you said, you haven't spoken to her in years which means you definitely don't understand the situation. I do. Take a step back and try to learn from this. We should all be on the same team. End of story."

"Not only are we looking at an awful business movie, (because one would be incentivized to allow Taylor to perform her songs seeing as it would direct to rediscovery of a catalog they currently profit off of) but this is just mean. This is punishment. This is hoping to silence her from speaking about things by dangling this over her heard. These people are protected because they inspire complicity with fear. Banking on the illusion that people will not stand up for her. That the world will say she is over reacting. You're barking up the wrong tree. It is her grace and patience in these moments that make her the Artist of the Decade," the singer shared on Instagram. 

The "Without Me" singer also took to Twitter in June to defend Swift over her battle with Braun.

 "Taylor Swift is a huge reason why I always insisted to write my own music," Halsey tweeted. "She catapulted her stadium into the Milky Way. And it turns my guts that no matter how much power or success a woman has in this life, you are still susceptible to someone coming along and making you feel powerless out of spite. It speaks volumes to how far we have to come in the music industry. The way writers are treated. How as an entertainer you are respected but as a writer you're walked all over. Even when you are both in one single body. I am standing with her."

The "Friday" singer weighed in on Twitter, writing, "What a complete power pull... The way this industry is set up, there are times where we have to get legal permission to perform anything we share rights to. but denying access like this is solely to play with and diminish a person."

Ed Sheeran

As fans on Instagram began questioning Sheeran's allegiance, one commenter stood up and told them to back off. "Just because he didn't post anything it doesn't me he is not supporting her," wrote one user. "Maybe he's talking with her right now, who knows. You aren't allowed to doubt their friendship just because he didn't say anything on social." Of course, this caught his attention. Replied the singer, "I have been speaking directly to her, like I always do."

Brendon Urie

During his livestream on Monday, July 1, Swift's "ME!" duet partner put Braun on blast. "Scooter Braun s--t, like what a piece of s--t, right? You guys know about this dude?" Urie said. "It just like broke my heart, I read Taylor's statement and I was like, 'That sounds about right.' Toxic dudes doing toxic bulls--t in this toxic industry."

Iggy Azalea

"I think from what I can see; it's more about the fact they didn't even give her the opportunity to at least bid on her own masters; when she's made it known she wanted to purchase," Azalea tweeted in defense of Swift. "I can totally understand where she's coming from."

Demi Lovato

The "Skyscraper" singer took to her Instagram Story to defend her then-manager. "I have dealt with bad people in this industry and Scooter is not one of them. He's a good man," Lovato wrote. "Personally, I'm grateful he came into my life when he did. Please stop 'dragging' people or bullying them. There's enough hate in this world as it is."
