Ariana Grande has deleted an Instagram Story post congratulating Scooter Braun on his Big Machine Records acquisition.

The No Tears Left To Cry songstress has appeared to withdraw her public show of support for her manager after Taylor Swift complained she felt 'grossed out' knowing the music mogul.

Swift has accused Braun of 'bullying' her, and he now owns her master records after his takeover.

Does she or doesn't she? Fans are left wondering which side Ariana Grande is taking after she deleted an Instagram post congratulating Scooter Braun on his Big Machine Records acquisition

Moreover, Swift claimed she never got a chance to buy them herself.

Nicki Minaj, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello have also reportedly stopped following Braun on social media since the feud began.

Selena's mom Mandy Teefey has spoken out to defend the ME! hitmaker and praised her for 'speaking out' about the deal.

Partnership: Braun is Grande's manager, and fans aren't sure whether she'll support him as Taylor Swift publicly denounces his actions

Accuser: Swift (pictured in NYC on June 14) has accused Braun of 'bullying' her - and ironically enough, he now owns her master records after his takeover

Support: Selena Gomez's mom Mandy Teefey (@kicked2thecurbproductions) has also spoken out to defend the ME! hitmaker and praised her for 'speaking out' about the deal

She shared part of Taylor's Tumblr post on Instagram and wrote: 'I wish I could give you a big hug right now! Thank you for speaking out about this and teaching future young artist about protecting themselves. I don't understand the pleasure of power plays to simply hurt people!

'To deny you the option to own your blood, sweat and tears, especially as a young woman who shared growing up in front of the world, is heartbreaking!!'

Scooter's wife, Yael Cohen, called out the 29-year-old pop star and insisted Taylor knew about the deal before it was made public.

Solidarity: Singer Halsey also announced her support for Swift in a pink-toned Twitter post, citing the Love Story singer as 'a huge reason why [she] always insisted to write [her] own music'

She also slammed the singer for calling her husband a bully.

Afterward, Mandy asked her to meet up in private for a 'mom to mom' meeting via Instagram caption.

She added: '@yael I would love to have a mom to mom meeting in private, drink some tea and have some real talk!! XO (sic)'

In support: Braun hasn't been without his fair share of celebrity support, either - counting Demi Lovato as one of his allies

Braun wasn't without his fair share of celebrity support, either.

Demi Lovato, another client of Braun's, wrote in an Instagram Story post that Braun is a 'good man' and that she is 'grateful' for him.

Cryptic: It also appears that Kendall Jenner liked a comment on Teefey's post in support of Braun, reading: 'We stan a defensive wife'

In her original Tumblr post, Taylor was 'sad and grossed out' by the takeover of her former label but she hopes by speaking out, she will help others 'learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation.'

She concluded: 'Thankfully, I am now signed to a label that believes I should own anything I create. Thankfully, I left my past in Scott's hands and not my future. And hopefully, young artists or kids with musical dreams will read this and learn about how to better protect themselves in a negotiation. You deserve to own the art you make. I will always be proud of my past work. But for a healthier option, Lover will be out August 23. Sad and grossed out, Taylor (sic).'

Former Big Machine Records boss Scott Borchetta has disputed her account and insisted she was offered a new record deal which would have given her back all her 'assets,' including the master recordings.

He also implied she knew about the deal before it was announced, something which the Bad Blood hitmaker's representative later insisted wasn't the case.
