Over the last weekend, singer-songwriter Billie Eilish’s manager Danny Rukasin took to X to like, repost, and later delete a tweet that read, “Taylor Swift breaking her neck doing everything to prevent other artists from shining.”

The post was originally made by @jdkaknak and also contained an image comparing Taylor Swift’s rumored competition with fellow musicians. It claimed that in June 2017, Katy Perry released a new album following which the Blank Space songstress reportedly “put up entire discog on Spotify.”

Likewise, in January 2023, after SZA was “predicted at #1 for a fourth week,” Swift allegedly dropped “new album versions to block SZA.” The post further claimed that in the wake of Billie Eilish’s new album Hit Me Hard and Soft in May 2024, Taylor allegedly dropped “new digital versions” of her latest album The Tortured Poets Department “to block Billie.”
