Grab your popcorn, folks, because 2025 has already served up some truly chef’s kiss levels of celebrity drama. Whether it’s cryptic Instagram posts, awkward award show moments, or spicy legal wins, our fave stars have kept us wonderfully entertained. If you thought the year would bring nothing but aspirational New Year resolutions and green juice posts, think again. The drama has been nothing short of iconic.

Here’s a roundup of the biggest celebrity feuds of 2025 so far, served with a hefty side of sass and a sprinkle of pettiness. Buckle up!

1. Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun

The Sweetest Revenge

First up, the battle we never thought we’d see resolved this century. The Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun saga officially came to an end this May, and spoiler alert? Taylor won. After years of battling for the rights to her master recordings, Swift announced on May 30, 2025, that she had successfully repurchased her first six albums, finally reclaiming what she called her “life’s work.”

The backstory: This feud started way back in 2019, when Braun’s company, Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Records, taking ownership of Taylor’s master recordings. For Swift, this wasn’t just business; it was personal. She slammed the acquisition as her “worst-case scenario,” accusing Braun of manipulative tactics and stripping her of control over her music. The internet went feral (as it does), and the battle of Swift vs. Braun was born.

The resolution: Taylor announced the victory in an emotional Instagram post that could only be described as goosebumps-inducing. “All of the music I’ve ever made now belongs to me,” she wrote. Cue the confetti! The Swifties flooded social media, celebrating the win like it was New Year’s Eve. Braun? Totally silent. Guess you can’t argue with poetic justice.

Why it matters: Taylor’s win is more than just a personal victory; it’s a major statement for artists’ rights in the music industry. If there’s one thing this queen knows how to do, it’s turn a feud into a movement. Bravo, Tay!

2. Travis Kelce vs. Kanye West

The Playlist That Launched a Thousand Memes

Of all the Taylor-adjacent drama this year, this feud came absolutely out of left field. Travis Kelce, the NFL’s golden boy and Taylor Swift’s current love interest, made headlines when he flat-out refused to add Kanye West to his pre-game playlist. Petty? Maybe. Legendary? Absolutely.

Why this matters: It’s no secret that Kanye and Taylor have history (hello, 2009 VMAs), and fans wasted no time connecting the dots. Was Travis sending a cryptic message of loyalty to his leading lady? Twitter sure thinks so, and frankly, we do too.

The aftermath: Kanye’s die-hard fans hit back, calling Kelce disloyal to the culture, while Swifties crowned him “boyfriend of the year.” Neutral parties, meanwhile, were simply here for the memes. And honestly, same.

3. Rihanna vs. The Name-Shamers

Rihanna. Clapbacks. Enough Said.

Rihanna doesn’t just pioneer beauty trends and dominate music charts; she also has a Ph.D. in dealing with trolls. After revealing her sons’ names, Riot and RZA, the internet predictably had opinions (eye roll). But seriously, who thought it was a good idea to criticize Rihanna's taste?

Her response: A simple yet savage Instagram Story. “Y’all stay mad while my boys stay legendary,” she wrote. Boom. Mic dropped. Trolls scrambled. The Navy rejoiced.

Why it matters: This is Rihanna we’re talking about. She makes the rules, and the rest of us are just playing catch-up.

4. Halsey vs. The “Body Cops”

When Trolls Came for Halsey, She Hit Back

Halsey’s lingerie photoshoot celebrating her post-baby body sparked applause from fans…and criticism from trolls because, of course, it did. The comments ranged from rude to downright toxic, but Halsey wasn’t here for any of it.

The clapback: She posted a follow-up reel featuring body-positive memes, a few sassy captions, and, yes, her middle finger set to a remix of her track "Without Me." Iconic.

The moral: Don’t mess with Halsey unless you’re ready to be on the receiving end of an internet beatdown.

5. Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson vs. Eagles Fans

Sports Meets Pop Drama

Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl appearance sparked more than just fanfare this year. When Eagles fans booed her in a stadium stunt that screamed unnecessary, sportscasters Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson stepped up. Andrews boldly declared the fans’ reaction to Swift “disrespectful,” while Thompson simply asked, “Who boos Taylor Swift?” A fair point, honestly.

The aftermath: Eagles fans dug into their villain era, while Swifties rallied online, proving once and for all that sports and pop culture are more intertwined than we think.
