Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift have a long history of bad blood between them. The reality TV personality and the world-renowned pop star’s dispute started over a Kanye West song. However, there have been ebbs and flows in the years since. Now, it seems that a new chapter of the feud is brewing.
In another world, Kim and Taylor might have been friends. The pair actually have some things in common, including their global fame, billion-dollar businesses, love of fashion, and their high-profile athletes as significant others. Kardashian is currently dating F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Meanwhile, Swift wed NFL tight end Travis Kelce over the summer.
According to In Touch, it’s those relationships that have seemingly triggered a new rivalry between the two women. They’re both currently in their WAG eras, and drawing plenty of attention when they attend their partner’s races and games. Now, Kardashian allegedly wants to outdo Swift when it comes to being queen of the WAGs.
Kim Kardashian Reportedly Wants To Outdo Taylor Swift
“Kim is just as competitive with Taylor as she’s always been,” the source says. “She’s constantly checking up on her and … now that they’re both WAGs, Kim wants to make sure that she outdoes her when it comes to how glamorous she looks when she’s out supporting her man,” the informant added.
However, Kim reportedly believes that her WAG status comes at a much higher price due to the rumors of the Kardashian Curse. Kim and her sisters have often been blamed for ruining the careers of the men that they are romantically involved with. Alleged victims of the curse include Kris Humphries, Reggie Bush, Kanye West, Lamar Odom, Scott Disick, Tristan Thompson, Blake Griffin, and others.
“[Kim] knows anything that goes wrong is going to be blamed on her,” the source reveals. “It would be great if she at least got praise for his wins, but that doesn’t happen. It’s just people waiting to dogpile on her any chance they get.”
Even though Kardashian knows she’s at risk for starting rumors and being blamed for anything that goes wrong, she’s not letting anything stop her from supporting Hamilton. “She’s so proud of him,” the insider added.
What Started Kim and Taylor’s Feud?
Kim and Taylor’s feud started with Kanye West, per Entertainment Weekly. The rapper interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs that year. Years later after Swift and West mended fences, Kanye referenced Taylor in the 2016 song “Famous.” Upon hearing the lyrics, Taylor spoke out.
Kim became involved when she released portions of a phone conversation between Taylor and Kanye. In 2020, the feud resurfaced when the full phone call was leaked. Both Kardashian and Swift have since moved on, but their names continued to be connected due to their past disagreement.
How Do Kardashian and Swift Compare As WAGs?
Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift have had very different careers, neither need to attend sporting events to have the spotlight thrust upon them. However, that is where they’re at thanks to their relationships making them both WAGs. The term, which is short for “wives and girlfriends” is commonly used to describe the significant others of professional athletes.
Kardashian has built a massive business empire through reality television, fashion and her SKIMS brand. Swift, meanwhile, is one of the world’s biggest music stars and has turned her personal life into a frequent subject of pop culture coverage.
Their approaches to being high-profile sports partners are also somewhat different. Kardashian has long been a fixture at major events and is accustomed to making fashion statements wherever she goes. Swift’s appearances at Kelce’s NFL games have similarly become major media events, with her game-day outfits and interactions with her famous friends and family members frequently making headlines.
For now, Kim Kardashian appears focused on supporting Lewis Hamilton while Taylor Swift continues to make headlines alongside Travis Kelce. Whether there is actually a WAG rivalry between the two women or it’s simply another chapter in their decades-long pop culture feud remains to be seen.
Hollywood News Daily reached out to Kardashian’s representatives for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
