9. Zayn Malik
In June of 2015, Taylor Swift penned an open letter to Apple Music, basically demanding that she would receive payment if she was going to stream her music through the service. The tech giant ended up bowing down, and gave Swift and every other artist on the service what they wanted.
This, however, didn’t sit well with many people in Hollywood – one of those people was one of the ex members of One Direction, Zayn Malik. In August of 2015, Malik re-Tweeted a meme that showed the difference between Cyrus and Swift’s stance on streaming their music for free. Swift is portrayed as a money hungry, selfish person while Cyrus is shown as generous and sensible. After this, Calvin Harris, who was Swift’s boyfriend at the time, came to Swift’s rescue and tried to call out Malik directly. However, after a short series of Tweets, the men sorted out their issues and called it good. Malik was supported in his stance against Swift’s complaint about streaming music for free from fans across the world.
