In 2024, Taylor Swift stands as the biggest pop star in the world, celebrated for her monumental “The Eras Tour.” Despite her success, Swift’s journey has been marred by high-profile feuds, including a long-standing drama with Kim Kardashian. Recent reports suggest that Kardashian might be enlisting Billie Eilish’s help in this ongoing feud. Here’s a closer look at the situation.
The feud between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift dates back to 2016. At that time, Kanye West, Kardashian’s then-husband, made headlines with his track “Famous,” in which he controversially claimed he “made that b**** famous” regarding Swift. Kardashian claimed that Swift was aware of the lyrics in advance, but Swift disagreed, stating she never approved them.
The controversy escalated when Kardashian released video footage of a phone call between Swift and West. Swift and her PR team countered, arguing that the footage did not cover the problematic lyrics. Swift described the incident as “character assassination” and felt that the ongoing feud felt like “career death” in 2023.
Recently, Billie Eilish has made headlines for her comments about long concerts, which some fans interpreted as a subtle jab at Taylor Swift’s extensive “Eras Tour” performances. Eilish remarked, “I’m not doing a three-hour show; that’s literally psychotic,” leading to speculation that she might be involved in the feud.
According to a source cited by Life & Style, Kim Kardashian and Billie Eilish have been connecting privately over their shared issues with Swift. “Kim and Billie have been quietly connecting for a while. She’s a huge fan of her music and got introduced to her through Justin Bieber,” the source said. Kardashian allegedly reached out to Eilish for support regarding the feud.
The source further claimed that Kardashian wants Eilish to join her in a “battle” against Swift, though it’s noted that Kardashian is not pressuring Eilish but sees this as an opportunity to gain the upper hand.
Taylor Swift recently released a track from her 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department that many fans believe references her feud with Kim Kardashian. The song, titled “thanK you aIMee,” features a capitalized “KIM” in the title, which Swift mentioned during her “Eras Tour” stop in London in June 2024.
Before performing the track, Swift delivered a speech reflecting on the impact of public criticism. “You clearly thought this was a good idea, [and] you wanted this to happen,” Swift said, according to a clip posted on X. “It really makes me think about how every time someone talks s***, it just makes me work even harder.”
A source told People that Kim Kardashian wants Taylor Swift to move on from their feud. Kardashian reportedly believes that Swift should let go of the past and stop dwelling on their issues. “She’s over it and thinks Taylor should move on,” the source said, adding that Kardashian finds it puzzling why Swift continues to bring up the past.
This stance contrasts with the earlier claims about Kardashian seeking Billie Eilish’s help in their ongoing feud. Fans will have to stay tuned to see if the animosity between Swift and Kardashian will be resolved or if the feud will continue to evolve with new developments.
