As we reported this morning, Taylor Swift had a very strong reaction to learning the news that Scooter Braun had purchased her music catalogue from Big Machine Records.
But as it turns out, Taylor’s not the only one who had a huge reaction to it — and now, artists and fans alike are coming out of the woodwork to take Taylor’s side, as the trending hashtag #WeStandWithTaylor erupted all across social media on Sunday afternoon.

Still others pointed out how artists like Justin Bieber were trying to quietly work to delete the times that they’d been responsible for party of Swift’s bullying, as if to act like they didn’t do anything wrong and nothing had ever happened before (below):

The irony of someone’s tag line being Music Has Value and then them literally valuing the thickness of their wallet and their ego over someone’s hard work, talent and rights, shows that the only thing they truly value is themselves. #WeStandWithTaylor

The only man I have seen speak up about the mistreatment of Taylor is Joseph Kahn. He has Taylor’s back. You can’t deny that. #WeStandWithTaylor

No man or capitalist, manipulative person or business should feel entitled to someone’s art. Taylor, we are behind you. The bullying and unfair contracts in the music industry must come to an end. #WeStandWithTaylor
