Taylor Swift is being flooded with support by fans and fellow artists on Twitter.

After Taylor Swift shared a statement claiming music managers Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta aren’t allowing her to perform her old music, the pop star is urging fellow artists to speak out.

The ‘Lover’ singer also had to announce she’s been working on a Netflix documentary, as Scott and Scooter allegedly “declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project even though there is no mention of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film”.

Calling on her fans and fellow musicians, Taylor added in her statement: “Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this.”

So far, Taylor has had a number of stars speak out in support – here’s who, and what they’ve said.

Camila Cabello

After Shawn Mendes fans begged him to show his support for Taylor, his girlfriend Camila Cabello took to Instagram Stories to address the matter.

Explaining she has "some of the best memories" listening to Taylor's first few albums, Camilla said it's "like the world is being robbed of something important and beautiful that she can't sing her life's work."

"I can't even imagine how painful this must be," Camila added, insisting: "This can't be allowed to happen."

Gigi Hadid

Taylor’s close pal Gigi tweeted: “It’s the right thing to do” after seeing her friend’s lengthy statement.

She added: “Taylor and her fans deserve to celebrate the music!”

Halsey

‘Graveyard’ singer Halsey posted a statement to Instagram Stories, writing: “This is punishment. This is hoping to silence her from speaking about things by dangling this over her head.”

“It is her grace and patience in these moments that make her Artist of the Decade,” Halsey added.

She also shared a video of herself singing Taylor's 2010 hit 'Mean'.

Selena

Taylor and Selena have been best friends for 13 years, so the former Disney star shared an impassioned social media tribute in support of her pal.

The 'Lose You To Love Me' singer posted to her 161 million Instagram followers: "My heart is so heavy right now. It makes me sick and extremely angry. (I don't mind if there may be retaliation) this is my opinion."

"It's greed, manipulation and power. There is no heart or though of anyone elses. No respect the words my friend has written since she was a 14 year old in her bedroom. You've robbed and crushed one of our best song writers of our time an opportunity to celebrate all of her music with fans and the world."

Lily Allen

Lily Allen said she stands in “solidarity” with the ‘Me!’ singer, before later defending Taylor when her followers quizzed her on the matter.
