Taylor Swift fans accuse Sia of donning blackface after she defends Scooter Braun - Fox News

After defending mega manager Scooter Braun in his ongoing feud with Taylor Swift, musician Sia is now dealing with Swift’s diehard fans going after her on social media.

Although she’s ignored most comments, Sia responded to Swifties who accused her of using blackface during a 2011 performance.

“For the swift fans trying to make out that I would ever do blackface please see this video,” she wrote alongside a clip of her performance. “I was painting myself into the backdrop, it was a precursor to the wig…”

Sia famously often wears a large wig to conceal her face from the public.

But the video wasn’t enough to satiate Swift’s diehards, with one writing: “You are literally irrelevant. In the backdrop is the only place you belong.”

In supporting Braun on Monday, the 43-year-old “Chandelier” singer tweeted, “You’re a good kind man @scooterbraun I hope this passes quickly. I love you keep going.” Sia’s tweet immediately sparked backlash from Swifties, who claimed she was supporting misogyny after it was reported that Braun purchased Big Machine Records, which includes Swift’s master recordings, for $300 million.

TAYLOR SWIFT ACCUSED OF BULLYING, LYING ABOUT MASTERS DEAL

Swift took to Tumblr on Sunday to say how “grossed out” she was by the deal, but a source later told Page Six that she had opportunities to purchase the recordings but walked away.

Her attorney, Donald Passman, later said in a statement that Big Machine Founder Scott Borchetta didn’t give her an opportunity.

“Scott Borchetta never gave Taylor Swift an opportunity to purchase her masters, or the label, outright with a check in the way he is now apparently doing for others,” Passman said in a statement.
