It’s been a little while since the infamous Taylor Swift vs Kim Kardashian feud, so much so that we’d begun to wonder if the pair had put all the drama behind them.
Turns out nothing has changed between the two, according to Taylor’s new cover interview with ELLE magazine, in which she revealed that she hit rock bottom after Kim Kardashian branded her a “snake”.
In the feature, Taylor lists 30 things she learned before turning 30, explaining that one of her biggest life lessons has been learning to overcome bullying.
“In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously.
“A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet.
“The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life, but I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans.”
In a clear reference to the time Kim tweeted that National Snake Day was an apt national holiday for the singer, complete with dozens of snake emojis, Taylor went on to explain that “disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh.”
“It’s the Stadium Tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with “lol.” It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it and thrive in spite of it.
In case you need a refresh on the drama that went down in 2016, the singer famously feuded with the reality star after she accused her of lying about how she came to feature on husband Kanye West’s track Famous.
Taylor denied that Kanye had reached out to her for approval on the line “I made that that b***h famous,” prompting Kim to post phone conversations between the pair.
Even though Kim told What What Happens Live With Andy Cohen back in January that everyone had moved on from the feud, with this major serving of shade, we might well be in for round two.
