Now it's
Taylor Swift's turn to exist on social media and have another musician make it all about her. Living Personification Of Hot Topic,
Avril Lavigne,
majorly overreacted and blasted T Swift on Twitter for 'liking' an
innocuous Tumblr post that made it seem Taylor and Avril were pitted
against one another based on their fan interactions ... a thing that
Avril has long been under the microscope for: Comparison is judging and judging a person does not define who they are it defines who you are. We all Love our fans

— Avril Lavigne (@AvrilLavigne) Except, this time, Taylor Swift wasn't seemingly subtweeting anyone, let
alone Avril. And while this was on Tumblr, she wasn't vagueblogging
anyone
—all that she did was like a post.
...
Which, by the way, the average tumblr-user does hundreds of times a
day. It's not your boyfriend liking dozens of your hotter friend's
photos on Instagram. It's not a personal attack. In this case, it's
really just Taylor just returning some of the appreciation that her fans
show her.
Avril wasn't just offended at being one of the celebrities being contrasted with Taylor Swift
—she
seemed to take it as a personal attack. She has since tweeted a
"loving" message that included two collages of her having positive
interactions with fans.
