Former White House advisor Ivanka Trump recently shared a heartwarming Instagram post to celebrate her daughter Arabella's 13th birthday. The post featured a Taylor Swift-inspired cake, complete with red '13' candles and lyrics from Swift's song 'Blank Space.' The cake, resembling the one from Swift's music video, was a hit with Arabella, who is a devoted Swiftie.
The post garnered attention from reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who extended her birthday wishes to Arabella and showed her support by liking the post. However, Swift fans, known as Swifties, took the opportunity to reference a past feud between Kardashian and Swift, highlighting the ongoing tension between the two celebrities.
The feud between Kardashian and Swift dates back to 2016 when Kardashian supported her then-husband Kanye West during a controversy over his song 'Famous.' Swift later released a diss track, 'thanK you aIMee,' which seemingly targeted Kardashian. Despite the public drama, Kardashian has not publicly addressed the song.
Swift, known for her clever responses to criticism, reclaimed the narrative by incorporating snake imagery in her 'Reputation' era, turning negative comments into a source of empowerment. In a 2019 interview, she humorously reflected on using a giant inflatable cobra named Karyn during her stadium tour as a playful response to online trolls.
In a recent Time magazine profile, Swift emphasized the futility of engaging with detractors, stating that 'trash takes itself out every single time.' This sentiment reflects her approach to handling conflicts in the public eye, choosing to focus on her music and personal growth rather than getting caught up in negativity.
Despite the history between Kardashian and Swift, it's worth noting that Kardashian's daughter North showed her admiration for Swift by posting a TikTok video dancing to 'Shake It Off.' Additionally, Ivanka Trump, a close friend of Kardashian, expressed her love and admiration for her daughter Arabella on her special day, highlighting Arabella's talents and accomplishments as she enters her teenage years.
