Whether you're a fan of Taylor Swift or not, one thing you can safely say is that the woman knows how to feud. Katy, Kanye, Kim... the list goes on. Her latest beef has been with her fellow pop star Demi Lovato. In Swift's defence, though, she wasn't directly involved in it.
However, Demi Lovato has said that she is 'taking a break from music and the spotlight' because of the backlash surrounding her recent comments about Taylor Swift.
It all started when she was asked her opinion on Swift's 'squad' i.e. her group of friends, in an interview with ET Online, which was published yesterday. "I think in certain situations, certain people could be doing more if they’re going to claim that as part of their brand," she said. "To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don’t see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body.
“It’s kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it’s not real…. It’s not realistic.”
Her comments unleashed a blitzkrieg of abuse from Swift's fanbase, which led her to announce her break from music on Twitter - which you can see below.

Also don't forget that words can be taken out of context when doing interviews.. still not apologizing for saying what everyone want to say

I don't understand why people care so much about what I say in interviews? Do y'all watch the news? Don't y'all got shit to worry about?
