Breaking News:Kim Kardashian Posts Photo with Karlie Kloss amid Taylor Swift Album Release
The SKIMS founder shared a group selfie alongside Kloss to her Instagram Stories on April 22.
Kim Kardashian shared a selfie alongside Karlie Kloss amid the release of Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album.
On Monday, April 22, the reality star, 43, shared a series of Instagram Stories to commemorate her friend Derek Blasberg’s birthday. In one of the posts, Kardashian shared a group selfie with Blasberg, her sister Khloé Kardashian, W Magazine editor-in-chief Sara Moonves and Kloss, 31.
Kardashian’s post follows the April 19 release of Swift’s eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, which prompted listeners to revisit interest in the feud between the Grammy winner and SKIMS founder.
The 34-year-old singer released a double album within two hours after the initial album dropped. The double album includes the track “thanK you aIMee,” which grabbed the attention of fans, who began to speculate that it could be referring to Kardashian.
The song’s capitalization of the three letters in the title (KIM), as well as Swift’s lyrics about bullying, led fans to think that it is directed at The Kardashians star.
On Tuesday, April 23, a source told PEOPLE, “[Kim’s] over it and thinks Taylor should move on,” adding Kardashian “doesn’t get why [Swift] keeps harping on it.” The source continued: “It’s been literally years.”
The model and singer’s feud began in 2016 when Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West sang about Swift in his song, “Famous,” rapping: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.” He later claimed that the Speak Now singer had approved of the song, which she later denied.
The mom of four then released edited footage of the phone call between the two singers to prove her side of the story, but West noticeably did not mention the lyric during the call. The call was later leaked in full.
Three years after the call, Kardashian said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live that they’d “all moved on” from the feud. However, in a rare interview, Swift denied that claim.
