Taylor Swift is on top of the world, last night picking up seven VMAs and cementing her status as the most decorated solo artist of all time.
But, as the old adage says, you don’t get to the top, without making some enemies along the way.
And the mega-star, who is on a break before the final leg of her billion dollar record breaking Eras Tour, has certainly had her fair share of beefs.
Those who have come up against the 14-time Grammy winner – who famously told Vogue ‘Karma is real’ – have seemed to have suffered from ‘Tayvoodoo’, the term her fans use for those who cross her.
Most recently, Dave Grohl sparked a row when he implied the singer doesn’t perform live – before he sensationally admitted to cheating on his wife.
Scooter Braun, who came up against Swift when her brought her masters has since retired and got divorced, after a series of his high-profile clients dumped him.
In October, a group of NY Giant fans booed the singer when an advert came on starring he before a game, they then lost 24-3.
Here, Femail looks at the stars who have suffered the consequences of messing with Taylor.

Dave Grohl shocked fans on Tuesday when he revealed that he’d fathered a secret love child while cheating on his wife of more than 20 years – and some Swifties are rejoicing in the split
Dave Grohl shocked fans on Tuesday when he revealed that he’d fathered a secret love child while cheating on his wife of more than 20 years, Jordyn Blum.
While the news is devastating for many, some of Taylor Swift‘s fans have been rejoicing in the 55-year-old rocker’s downfall after he slammed Taylor in June.
While performing at London Stadium, Grohl took a swipe at Swift’s Eras tour by falsely suggesting that her band didn’t play live.
Following the news of Grohl’s infidelity, Swifties have flooded social media to gloat about the Everlong singer’s marital troubles – with many calling it ‘karma’.
‘Dave Grohl having his one sided beef with Taylor and then him having a child OUTSIDE OF HIS MARRIAGE. Karma is her boyfriend!’ one posted on X.

While the news is devastating for many, some of Taylor Swift’s fans have been rejoicing in the 55-year-old rocker’s downfall after he dissed Swift back in June
‘So Dave Grohl attacked Taylor Swift’s artistic integrity earlier this year for no reason and you’re only now surprised he has no respect for women,’ wrote another.
Another posted, ‘Dave Grohl was confirmed bad when he was an arse about Taylor Swift so it’s giving karma is the child born outside of your marriage isn’t it?’
The Foo Fighters frontman took a swipe at Swift in June, dubbing her Eras tour the ‘Errors’ Tour while quipping that his band ‘actually play live’.
While performing at the London Stadium, he referred to Swift while she was playing the same night on the other side of the capital in Wembley – to boos from some fans.
He addressed the crowd: ‘We were joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier. I know that she’s on her “Errors” Tour.
‘I tell you man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift. So we like to call our tour the Errors Tour,’ he continued.
‘We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f***ing errors as well. Just a couple.’
The rock legend clarified: ‘That’s because we actually play live. What?’

Never Ever Ever making up: Taylor dregs up the feud again as she discusses the extreme ‘isolation’ she felt and attacks she endured after Kim likened her to a snake
Taylor’s feud with Kanye West – and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian – is one of the biggest and messiest in showbuisness history.
It all started in 2009, when 19-year-old Taylor was at the MTV Video Music Awards, accepting the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me.
Suddenly, in the middle of her acceptance speech, Kanye jumped on the stage, grabbed the microphone out of her hands and bellowed: ‘Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!’
In the years following the speech – which saw President Barack Obama brand him a ‘jacka**’ Kanye apologised and revoked his apology several times.
In August 2015, it appeared the pair had made amends as Taylor poked fun at the feud, saying Kanye had ‘one of the best careers of all time’ at the 2015 VMAs after she presented him with the Video Vanguard Award.
It appeared the pair were getting on, and Kanye seemed to be joking by announcing ‘You know how many times they announced Taylor was going to give me the award ’cause it got them more ratings?’

Taylor’s feud with Kim and Kanye had been bubbling to the surface as early as 2009, seemingly out of the blue, when 19-year-old Taylor was at the MTV Video Music Awards, accepting the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me

Most of the pop icon’s next album Reputation, released in 2017, was aimed at her experience during the ordeal
However, Taylor later announced that his statement truly irked her, as he made out in public that it was for ratings, but in private, asked her to be on stage with him as it would ‘mean so much’.
Taylor told Rolling Stone in 2019: ‘I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body. I realised he is so two-faced.
‘That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk s**t. And I was so upset.’
In September, Taylor accepted Kanye’s apology after he sends her a giant arrangement of flowers, with the singer jokingly offering to be his running mate in the next Presidential election.
Sharing a snap of the bouquet, she penned: ‘Awww Kanye sent me the coolest flowers!! #KanTay2020 #BFF’.
By February 2016, however, the pair hit an all time low when Kanye referenced the star in the lyrics of his hit, Famous.
Taylor took offence at the rapper’s lyric: ‘For all my South Side n****s that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous’.

Taylor Swift has slammed Kim Kardashian for ‘taking her down psychologically’ and forcing her into hiding during their long-running feud
Monster: A social media campaign of hate took off in 2016 when Kim and Taylor went head to head in a dispute over Kanye West’s song lyrics about the singer
Kanye defended the line, claiming he had a conversation with Taylor about the lyrics in question.
In June, Kanye released music video for Famous, which depicts a naked Taylor lying in his bed next to him, with nude Kim on the other side.
Other nude celebrities who make an appearance in the fictional bedroom setting are Rihanna, Chris Brown, Donald Trump, Caitlyn Jenner, George W Bush, Anna Wintour, Ruby Rose, Ray J and Bill Cosby.
Taylor accused Kanye of lying about asking her permission to reference her in his lyrics, so Kim released a heavily-edited recording of the conversation in question.
‘I’m really glad you had the respect to call me that and tell me that as a friend, about the song. It’s just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship’ Taylor is heard saying.
Taylor then hit back, writing: ‘While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phonecall, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009’.
While the musical stars appeared to be on better terms in the years following – they were pictured at a number of events in the years after – things blew up after West’s 2016 song Famous. The video depicted a number of celebs including Swift, West and Kardashian

The seeds of the feud were planted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City
After that Taylor said she felt publicly shamed and ‘cancelled,’ most of the 2017 album Reputation was aimed at her experience during the ordeal.
This year, she told Time Magazine it felt like a ‘career death’ and she was forced to move to a foreign country (the UK), and not go outside.
‘Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me,’ she said.
Discussing the aftermath and the brutal toll that it took on her wellbeing, Taylor told the outlet: ‘You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.’
‘That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls.’
She explains ‘Some events took place to cause me to be p***ed off when [Kanye] called me a b***h. That was not just a singular event.
‘Basically, I got really sick of the dynamic between he and I’.
Since 2016, Taylor has continued to rise – while Kanye, once thought of as the greatest rapper of a generation, has seen his fall from grace continue.
Taylor ended Kanye’s streak of 11 number one albums, as his latest projectVultures 2 debuted in the number two spot – as it was bested by Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department.
West, whose career has dipped amid a torrent of antisemitic remarks since the fall of 2022, sold an estimated 107,000 equivalent album units in its first week, Billboard reported Sunday.
The record was West’s 13th to occupy one of the top two spots on the chart in his career.
While Swift continues to build on her plaudits and reputation, West’s career has tumbled in the six months since a December 1, 2022 appearance on Alex Jones’ show Infowars in which he lavished praise on Nazis and Adolf Hitler.
