Hailey Baldwin got some fresh ink, and some think her latest tat relates toTaylor Swift.
On Wednesday, Baldwin’s tattoo artist, Dr. Woo, showed off the star’s new art in a black-and-white Instagram. The close-up photo shows the word “lover” scribed on the model’s neck, right below a cross tattoo.
“Love always wins ✒️💓@haileybieber#hideawayatsuitex#slimneedle,” Woo captioned the photo.
And while several fans called the artwork “beautiful,” some Instagram users thought the words were a nod to Swift’s new song “Lover” — the same name as the singer’s top-charting album, which also features the words written in a similar font on its cover art.

A third Instagram user wrote, “She’s really promoting Taylor’s album on her neck … interesting timing.”
Lover.
But not everyone thought the “lover” symbol had something to do with Swift.
Back in June, Baldwin, 22, found herself in the middle of a feud with her husband,Justin Bieber, music manager Scooter Braun and Swift, after she defended her husband for taking ownership of his past actions the “Shake It Off” singer had called him out for.
Swift, 29, made headlines after she shared aTumblr blog postexpressing her disdain for Braun, 38, upon learning that he had acquired Big Machine Label Group, the record label that now owns her music catalog.
In the blog post,the singer slammed Braun, who obtained her music label for $300 million, and claimed that he used Bieber and on-and-off clientKanye Westto bully her on social media following her feud with the rapper over the lyrics of his song “Famous.”
“All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” Swift wrote. “Like whenKim Kardashianorchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it.”

Swift also shared a screenshot taken from Bieber’s Instagram account ofan August 2016 post,in which the “Sorry” singer shared a Facetime call between himself and Braun — who can be seen with West, who Braun was not managing at the time of Bieber’s Instagram post. “Taylor swiftwhat up,” Bieber captioned the post.
Shortly after the “Bad Blood” singer shared her post, Bieber, 25, posted alengthy responseon Instagram to both support Braun and apologize to Swift.
“Hey Taylor,” Bieber began his message, which was posted alongside a throwback photo of him and Swift posing together. “First of all I would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time I thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted [sic] of scooter and Kanye that said ‘taylor swiftwhat up’ he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.”

The “Sorry” singer concluded his message and said, “I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line..”
Baldwin supported her husband and commented on his post, writing, “gentleman.”
But Cara Delevingne, a close friend of Swift’s, blasted Baldwin for her comment.
“Gentleman?@haileybieber@justinbieberyou must be bored,” Delevingne commented in response to Baldwin. “I wish you spent less time sticking up for men and more time trying to understand women and respecting their valid reactions. As a married man, you should be lifting women up instead of tearing them down because you are threatened. I am not sure you actually understand what an apology is.”
