Did Taylor Swift Use This Song to Call Out Justin Bieber For How He Treated Selena Gomez?

Anyone who's spent time on social media this past week has probably heard people talking about the drama that is currently going down between Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Kylie Jenner.

The latest update on the alleged feud between Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend and current wife began when Selena posted a TikTok joking about accidentally over-laminating her eyebrows. Kylie seemingly responded by posting a picture of her own eyebrows on Instagram and writing "This was an accident?????" on top of them. She also posted a screenshot of herself facetiming Hailey, both of them zoomed in on their eyebrows. The "mean girl" drama has continued to spiral thanks to old video clips and deleted tweets being called out on TikTok, as well as celebs like Kendall Jenner and Kylie's ex-BFF Jordyn Woods getting involved.

Selena's bestie, Taylor Swift, has yet to step in — but the singer has made it clear over the years that she will always be #TeamSelena. A theory about a song from Midnights is resurfacing thanks to this newly-resurrected convo about Selena and Justin's break-up — and some fans think that it was Taylor's way of calling out Justin for the way that he treated Selena.

"Question...?" is the seventh song on Taylor's 10th album. The lyrics talk about a "good girl" and a "sad boy" in the third person, leading fans to believe that Taylor wasn't singing about herself and an ex, but a separate couple. "Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room / And every single one of your friends was makin' fun of you / But fifteen seconds later, thеy were clappin' too?" sings Taylor.

Some fans have guessed that this was a reference to the viral photo of Taylor sticking out her tongue while Justin and Selena kissed at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, where Selena later performed. Others theorized that the lyrics cleverly wove in the title of one of Selena's songs, "Crowded Room."

"Did you lеave her house in the middle of the night? / Did you wish you'd put up more of a fight / When she said it was too much? / Do you wish you could still touch her? / It's just a question," continues Taylor.

Some people have wondered whether these lyrics referred to the paparazzi photos of Justin leaving Selena's house in the middle of the night after their break-up. Other fans even claim they can hear Selena's vocals in the backing track of "Question...?" although that has not been confirmed.

One TikTok user even hypothesized that the line "Does it feel like everything's just like / Second best after that meteor strike?" was referencing Halley's Comet as a subtle call-out to Hailey Bieber. Might be a bit of a stretch, but Taylor has proven her musical prowess again and again, and we wouldn't put that level of masterminded lyric writing past her.

This isn't the first time that people have wondered whether Taylor's lyrics have subtly referenced Selena and Justin's former relationship.

Fans are divided on whether "Champagne Problems," a sad ballad about a rejected proposal, was written about Taylor and Joe Alwyn (the co-writer of the song) or Selena and Justin. Taylor herself explained that the song is about "longtime college sweethearts [who] had very different plans for the same night, one to end it and one who brought a ring.”

Whether both songs are about Selena or not, it's clear that she and Taylor have each others backs 'til the end. A video of Hailey pretending to gag when Taylor's album was mentioned recently resurfaced on TikTok and Selena was quick to comment her defense, writing, "So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game."

Their longtime friendship is so sweet. We love to see the two women supporting each other! ❤️
