These two used to be friends, and we can\u2019t quite put our finger on when it went south. Was it down to John Mayer, who both publicly dated? Was it down to backing dancers switching tours? We\u2019re not certain, but this feud has been toxic for a few years.<\/p>\n<p>Swift\u2019s chart-topper <em>Bad Blood<\/em> is famously about Katy Perry, Perry\u2019s <em>Swish Swish<\/em> is meant to have references to Swift\u201d\u00a6 it\u2019s never ending.<\/p>\n<p>Just to add salt to the wound, Taylor Swift decided to put her catalogue of music back on to Spotify &#8211; having taken it off three years previously in a dispute over streaming and royalty payments &#8211; on the day Katy dropped her latest offering, <em>Witness<\/em>. Savage.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Paul Simon &amp; Art Garfunkel<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WrcwRt6J32o\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>They were once a huge, hit-making duo but for decades Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel hadn\u2019t a good word to say about each other. Their bitter break-up in 1970 has fascinated fans ever since, and neither side of this story \u00a0is pleasant.<\/p>\n<p>In Paul Simon\u2019s version of events, the group ended because of Art Garfunkel\u2019s ambitions to be an actor \u201d\u201c it was apparently Garfunkel\u2019s plan to work on movies for six months of the year, and spend the other six months as part of the musical group. In the six months he was acting, it would be up to Paul Simon to write the music that Art would lend his vocals to.<\/p>\n<p>The band ended when Garfunkel took a role <em>in Carnal Knowledge<\/em> and didn\u2019t tell Simon. Garfunkel said there was a huge row after the release of <em>Bridge Over Troubled Water<\/em>, their \u201d\u02dcworst-ever\u2019 and they called it quits. Art even goes as far to say he believes he \u201ccreated a monster\u201d\u009d in Paul Simon.<\/p>\n<p>Simon continued with music on his own, as did Garfunkel, who also continued to act. The pair had seemingly patched things up and even sung together, but it would appear wounds of the musical split haven\u2019t healed.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Axl Rose &amp; Slash<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1w7OgIMMRc4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>These two, part of the original Guns n\u2019 Roses line up, went a long 20 years without speaking to each other. It\u2019s thought the feud began over Slash working with Michael Jackson in the midst of Jackson\u2019s child sex allegation scandals, or potentially down to Rose seeking ownership of the Guns n\u2019 Roses name or to do with Slash\u2019s heroin addiction in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever sparked this break up, the pair had some pretty toxic things to say about each other \u201d\u201c Rose even went as far to say Slash was like a \u201ccancer\u201d\u00a6 better removed, avoided, and the less anyone heard of him and his supporters, the better.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Axl stating in 2009 that \u201cwhat\u2019s clear is one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is.\u201d\u009d, the pair have put their differences aside to head out on a reunion tour and have even headlined Coachella festival.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ryan Adams &amp; Father John Misty<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iS84BMFszW0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ryan Adams thinks Father John Misty is self-important and felt the need to share it with the world through his Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>Adams went on a bit of a rant about <em>Nancy From Now On<\/em> singer Father John Misty, after it was announced that Misty would play Austin City Limits music festival. Adams said, \u201cIt\u2019s so wonderful you booked the most self-important a*****e on Earth to \u201d\u02dcbreak it all down for us\u2019 while he does his Nick Cave impression.\u201d\u009d He also said Josh Tillman a s**t Elton John \u201cbut if he was just sitting in a corner staring at his hands on LSD.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The rant continued \u201d\u201c to the point where Har Mar Superstar (no, really) intervened, telling Adams to chill out. The tweets have since been deleted and Adams issued a long-winded apology via Instagram to say \u201cI\u2019m human &amp; I have bad days. It happens. I apologize.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Tillman on the other hand, said he hoped Ryan Adams is \u201cokay\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Noel and Liam Gallagher<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dhZUsNJ-LQU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another level to this feud because not only were Noel and Liam in a band together, but they\u2019re brothers to boot. A bit awkward at best, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>After years of digs and bust-ups, the Gallagher feud majorly kicked off back in 2009 resulting in the break-up of the biggest Britpop band ever. No one could have predicted it would be the end of Oasis as we know it, because the Gallagher boys are notorious for arguing with each other \u201d\u201c so much so, they have even been depicted in the ring of <em>Celebrity Death Match<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This particular backstage bust-up, which involved Liam Gallagher wielding a guitar (as per brother Noel), was too much to take, and Noel walked away. This time, he would leave for good and Oasis would be no more.<\/p>\n<p>In an even stranger turn of events, their kids have come to blows. Noel\u2019s daughter Ana\u00c3\u00afs appeared at the Tommy Hilfiger London Fashion Week show and in true Gallagher fashion, Liam\u2019s son Gene felt the need to ridicule his cousin. Can\u2019t we all just get along, Gallagher family?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Despite the arguments, this lot have produced some great music over the years!
