Lovatopreviously sided with her new manager, Scooter Braun, in his public feud with Swift earlier this summer over his purchase of Swift’s music catalog when he acquired Big Machine Label Group. Swift had accused Braun of“incessant, manipulative bullying”over the years.
Ahead of the VMAs, the “Confident” singer teased the new project she was working on her Stories, encouraging people to guess what it could be.
“Okay I can’t tell you guys what I’m doing today (you’ll find out super soon tho) but it’s making me SO HAPPY, I’m having SO MUCH FUN and I can’t stop laughing,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Now go come up with your crazy ass theories as to what it might be.”
