Selena Gomez Leads the Squad in Taylor Swift Defense
So much tweeting and deleting.


In the wake of Kim Kardashian's recent takedown (opens in new tab), Taylor Swift's squad has #Risen like Katy Perry in a show of support. Only, not at all like Katy Perry because she is clearly Team Kimye.
Behold, tweets from Ruby Rose, Martha Hunt, and Swift Squad Vice President, Selena Gomez.
It's pathetic how quick our culture is to sensationalize a fabricated story..July 18, 2016
Take interest in the real problems going on. Spread love. ❤️July 18, 2016
Truth is last thing we need right now is hate, in any formJuly 18, 2016
This industry is so disappointing yet the most influential smhJuly 18, 2016
There are more important things to talk about... Why can't people use their voice for something that fucking matters?July 18, 2016
To add another layer of controversy, Selena was called out for the above tweet because neither she nor Taylor have used their voices to support Black Lives Matter. Selena tweeted and deleted, which caused further ripples throughout the twittersphere.
And based on what Zendaya's favoriting on Twitter lately, it appears she's no longer a squad member:

But good news! Justin Bieber may have just volunteered as tribute to take her place.
