The post, which includes the cover poster of Beyoncé's album "Cowboy Carter" with the caption "whew!" has led fans to wonder if Hailey is alluding to Selena, given the song's theme of cheating and betrayal.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, a netizen wrote, "Is Hailey shading Selena again? #Jolene." Another user posted, "Girl you are the Jolene. Let’s not forget Kendall and Gigi took Selena to Dubai so Hailey could spend New Year's with Justin."

The ongoing saga involving Hailey, Selena, and Justin Bieber has been a topic of fascination for fans for years. Despite Hailey and Justin's five-year marriage and Selena's new relationship with record producer Benny Blanco, the dynamics between the trio continue to draw attention.

Beyoncé's version of "Jolene" is a reinterpretation of Dolly Parton's classic song about a woman trying to steal another woman's man. While Beyoncé's rendition adds her signature style, the core narrative remains intact.
