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

The song was scheduled to be released on the album “Believe” (2012) but unfortunately was removed by Justin at the last minute. To date, it remains the only collaboration between the two famous music stars.

The “country princess” and the “pop prince” used to be close friends. They knew each other since their teenage years and became an admirable pair of showbiz best friends.

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

Two years later, Justin Bieber continued to be a guest on the American country music princess’s second tour.

The couple’s friendship grew stronger when Justin Bieber dated Selena Gomez. The three accompanied each other at many events and always supported each other in their careers.

However, Justin and Taylor’s relationship fell apart when the singer’s relationship with Selena Gomez hit a snag. Selena broke up with Justin Bieber in early 2013 after a heated argument.

Seeing her best friend suffer because of Justin, Taylor Swift also cut ties with the male singer, even implying that he was mean and cheating on his girlfriend. The media reported that the “Speak Now” singer advised Selena to break up with Justin.

At the 2013 Billboard Awards, when Selena Gomez saw Justin Bieber come in to greet and kiss each other on the cheek, Taylor Swift was very upset. She walked past and stuck her tongue out at Justin.

After that, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up and got back together many times. He thought that Taylor affected the relationship, causing conflict between him and his girlfriend.

In his 2013 song “All Bad,” Justin wrote about someone who came between him and his relationship. The lyrics read: “Don’t let someone change your mood. Someone who came between us. The worst part is sometimes your enemy is your best friend.” Viewers thought Justin Bieber was referring to Taylor Swift.

In 2016, amid Kanye West’s feud with Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber publicly sided with Kanye. The singer posted a photo of himself on a video call with Kanye and his manager Scooter Braun, with the provocative caption: “Taylor, what’s up?”

This photo received more than 1 million likes but Justin Bieber was harshly criticized for mocking and disrespecting Taylor Swift. The couple’s relationship officially “turned 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 strained relationship with Taylor and spent money to own the copyright of many of the female singer’s music products.

Taylor Swift is still close to Selena Gomez but has “stopped hanging out” with Justin Bieber after many confrontations on social media. The relationship between the two female singers and Justin Bieber’s wife is also not harmonious.
