The music industry remains a highly dynamic environment, with the charts dictating an artist’s prowess shifting in the blink of an eye. Additionally, the highly competitive environment also fosters high-value collaborations. However, in the heat and pressure of making it to the top, rivalries and shy feuds also take shape. In the nearly two decades of professional presence in the industry, lady of the moment, Taylor Swift has also had her share of both.

Having spoken of past love and unrequited experiences, the singer, at times, has also hinted at tackling rivalry.

Rolling out a country album titled to her name, the now billionaire had humble roots in music to begin with. As the years passed by, laurels kept coming and before she could know it, Taylor Swift found herself embattled in an unexpected feud with Ye, formerly Kanye West, at the 2009 MTV VMAs that also included Beyoncé in the mix, one she never imagined happening in her wildest dreams. In return, the 34-year-old alluded to the conflict in her song ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, venting out through music.

Subsequently, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Diplo, and Scooter Braun have also found their way into the singer’s ‘feuding list’. Taking to combat mode aimed at them, Taylor Swift has rolled out the likes of ‘Bad Blood’, ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’, and ‘I Did Something Bad’ as responses. Ranging from lines like “Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes” and “They’re burning all the witches even if you aren’t one,” the singer laid bare her resentment to her ‘competition’ as well as any opinionated media aimed at her.

In recent times, despite maintaining the most cordial of relationships, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé will go head-to-head in their musical endeavors.

One of the biggest developments in the mainstream music industry came with Queen Bey releasing her album, ‘Cowboy Carter’ on March 29. As the album continued to rise above the charts, a false rumor of Taylor Swift serving as the background vocal artist for a song titled ‘Bodyguard’ made the waves. It turned out that the mistake came as part of an erroneous edit made on the Genius lyrics website.

Regardless, the rampant fanning of the screenshot laid bare another aspect. Close to three weeks after Beyoncé released ‘Cowboy Carter’, Taylor Swift will debut her widely anticipated ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ album on April 19. Furthermore, with several special editions and widespread marketing during her tours, the stage for a fiery contest for the charts stands set.
