Award shows bring in their wake a series of debates, fashion debacles, and sometimes stage hijackings. While Taylor Swift was very much a part of that era, she has, with the strength of one guitar string and a 'Shake It Off' kick, ushered the world into an era where any discussion, especially that pertaining to an award show or a music title, has to be centered around the singer. And with Billboard coming out with its pop star of the century, the wars were bound to ensure. However, no one expected retired chief Joseph Kahn to make a return.

Seasoned Swifties are well versed in Swift and her relationship with Joseph Kahn, director of some of her and other pop stars' most iconic music videos. As Billboard declared Taylor Swift as No. 2 on the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list, Swifties were scorned, and hell had indeed hath no fury come close to this one, Kahn further agitated the Internet mob as he called the list "weirdo lists."

As Billboard started playing with fire minus any precautions when they started dropping the greatest pop stars of the 21st century in a year when fans were already up in arms debating who was better than Swift, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and more dropped music albums, a preview of the Internet battle was not needed.

With Kahn taking a fierce stand for Taylor Swift and all that she has done to make the decade as musically magical as possible, the Swifties have only swung further in support.

Whatever made Joseph Kahn and Taylor Swift stop working together after making several iconic videos definitely was not a debate about who the greatest pop star of the 21st century was. Kahn's unexpected return into the Swift lore has got a ton of Swifties scratching their heads but holding back their tongues to stand in support of his statement.

As fans of Beyoncé, most likely to be crowned No. 1, rushed to fight him on the claim, Taylor Swift fans equipped in with Billboard Is Over hashtags.

While some clapped and celebrated him, stating that he was the speaker of the truth, others continued to state the arenas where Swift had squashed Beyoncé’ in. From beating her at the MTV Music Awards this year to going head-to-head with Beyoncé’, this will not be the last war that the fandoms will be fighting.
