Kim Kardashian allegedly shades Taylor Swift as she 'targets' singer's friends to model SKIMS amid ongoing feud, fans call it 'bizzare'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s feuds have attained a legendary status by this time and the reality TV star allegedly attempts to shade the billionaire songstress in her way.

The eight-year-old feud between the SKIMS founder and the ‘Fortnight’ singer once again became a matter of public discussion when Swift dropped her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ last Friday on April 19.

Kim Kardashian appears to diss Taylor Swift by recruiting her friends to model SKIMS

After the 34-year-old singer dropped her album, speculations started regarding the subject matter of her song ‘thanK you, aIMee’. Kim subsequently lost 100k followers on Instagram as well.

Many fans believed the capitalized letters K, I, and M directly pointed the diss track towards the 43-year-old businesswoman. 

On Thursday, April 25, a source close to the 14-time Grammy-winning singer even told Us Weekly, “The song is her final word,” before adding, “Taylor has moved on and is not looking back.”

However, Swift’s song might not be the endpoint of the feud as few fans have been speculating that Kim disses the songstress in her way. 

Though Kim doesn’t talk about the feud anymore, fans have noticed that she recruits close friends of Swift to model for her lingerie brand, per Daily Mail.

Recently, Swift’s friend Sabrina Carpenter - who opened shows for Swift for her Eras Tour concerts in Australia, Singapore among others - was seen modeling for SKIMS earlier this month.

Previously, the ‘Cassandra’ singer’s other friend Lana Del Rey appeared in the Valentine’s Day campaign for Kim’s brand.

Brittany Mahomes, Swift’s fellow Kansas City Chiefs WAG and the wife of Patrick Mahomes, also raised eyebrows when she modeled for SKIMS during Christmas. 

Ever since Swift made her relationship with the Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce public in September 2023, she has been inseparable from Brittany during the team’s various outings during the NFL. 

Fans react to the Kim Kardashian-Taylor Swift feud

Fans of the duo have a lot to say about the speculations of Kim's way of dissing the singer.

One of the readers commented online, "Grown women fighting like pre teens. Maturity level is not set very high."

Someone else added, "Apparently, Taylor has a talented group of friends. I’m sure she doesn’t begrudge them making some money and getting exposure," to which someone else responded, "I was going to say the same thing. Kim is the one dishing out money. She's paying people to diss Taylor as Taylor laughs all the way to the bank from her songs dissing Kim."

"Targeting? I'm sure Taylor's friends are more than happy to take money for modeling SKIMS. If KK is choosing them to cause a wedge, they are laughing all the way to bank," said a social media user.

Another netizen chimed in, "Not a Taylor or Kim fan at all but for all comparisons purposes, Taylor is a lot more liked and genuinely accomplished than Kim. She’s so above her and not sure why she even pays her dust."

"More likely than not, celebrities have fair-weather friends, who in turn have a price for everything?" said a fan.

A fan of Taylor Swift, nevertheless, said, "These people aren't her friends, they are ladder climbers and will step on anyone for a price, just like Kim."

"KK paying Taylor's friend money to appear in ads is the most bizarre "diss." Only in Kim's twisted mind is this a win for her. The normal reaction for Taylor should be to be happy that her friends are getting money and exposure," said someone else.

Another fan added, "Taylor is probably happy her friends are making money. It is a business transaction."
