Netizens think Hailey Bieber has reignited her feud with her husband Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, because of a song she shared on her Instagram Story.
Early Friday, Bieber’s wife posted a screenshot of Beyoncé’s version of Dolly Parton’s original song “Jolene” and captioned it, “Whew,” along with a face with steam from nose emoji.
In the 1973 classic, Parton “pleads with a rival not to steal her man.” Meanwhile, in Queen Bey’s spin on the song, she warns her rival and affirms “the strength of her relationship,” per USA Today.
Given the song’s story, some netizens quickly assumed that Hailey was subtly reigniting her feud with Gomez, Justin’s girlfriend for eight years before they broke up for good in 2018.
“She forgot to tag Selena Gomez,” one X user tweeted in response to Hailey’s post.
“She’s definitely being shady, but she certainly has good taste,” said another commenter.

“I’m happy that she is starting the drama because Selena and her ugly boyfriend [have been] dragging her since the relationship,” claimed someone else.
“She does these types of things with a clear shady intention behind it, then acts all clueless when people start calling her out. She always had this spirit, and her Twitter proves it that’s why she deactivated it,” opined a different netizen.

“Can Selena and Hailey get in the ring? Like, this is very messy,” quipped another person.
Meanwhile, some social media users claimed many were just overanalyzing Hailey’s every move.
“I don’t like her, but am I the only that thinks people overanalyze her every move? Like maybe girlie just likes Jolene like the rest of us?!? Like Beyoncé’s cover goes hard,” tweeted one netizen.
Billie Eilish tells Billboard why she uses recycled material for her vinyls — says some of the biggest artists in the world are releasing several different vinyl versions for numbers and money:

“Bruh the song ‘Jolene’ by Beyonce is fire, I liked it and posted it too. [It] doesn’t mean you gotta have beef with anyone. The song is just good [at] what she says. You all take everything out of context, stuck in the past,” stated someone else.

The alleged reignited feud between the 27-year-old model and the 31-year-old singer-actress comes after Billie Eilish allegedly shaded Taylor Swift.
In an interview with Billboard, the “What Was I Made For?” singer talked about her sustainability and eco-conscious efforts and remarked that “some of the biggest artists in the world [are] making f***ing 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more.”
“It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me that we’re still at a point where you care that much about your numbers and you care that much about making money — and it’s all your favorite artists doing that s**t.”
While Eilish didn’t mention any artist in particular, some fans and netizens speculated that what she said was a jab at Swift, who released several vinyl versions of her albums.
“She clocked Taylor so bad, I’m crying,” tweeted an X user.
“We need Taylor to start getting shady and making diss tracks, I’m so tired,” quipped another user.
“And we know damn well who she’s talking about. I’ll give you a hint… Ms. TS!?” commented someone else.
“Not the Taylor shade,” wrote another.
Meanwhile, other netizens tweeted that aside from the “1989” artist, the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande, among many others, have released different versions of their albums, too.
Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” album also had eight different vinyl versions. However, they used “100% recycled black vinyl — plus recycled scraps for colored variants — and shrink-wrap made from sugar cane,” per Billboard.
