Taylor Swift Made Katy Perry Cookies with the Words “Peace at Last” to End Their Feud
Another day, another pithy celeb feud for the internet to obsess over. What is it about watching famous people attack each other on Twitter that makes us want to drop what we're doing and grab the popcorn?
The celeb world is no stranger to infamous feuds - there's now a TV show dedicated to them - but some of these beefs have gone on for-ev-er. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Doubtful, but at least we'll always have the memes.
1. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry
All the "bad blood" started in 2013 when three of Taylor's dancers jumped ship in the middle of her Red tour to go work with Katy on her Prismatic tour. Katy allegedly stole them back. Not too long after, Tay's "Bad Blood" music video came out and it's a no-brainer it was about Katy. Both made passive aggressive comments and tweets about the other, and Katy recently debuted "Swish Swish," which many fans believe was her response to "Bad Blood."
Supposedly, the feud is over now, after Katy apologized and said she's always loved Taylor. Taylor even extended an olive branch and added Katy Perry's latest song, "Never Really Over," on her Apple Music playlist.
Katy Perry recently posted a photo featuring a plate of cookies with the words "peace at last" written on it. She even tagged Taylor in the photo and set the location as "Let's Be Friends." Taylor even replied back with a bunch of hearts, confirming that Taylor might've had something to do with it and that their feud is totally over. Maybe "Peace at Last" is the song of their new collab? With both ladies taking out new albums, anything is definitely possible!
2. Taylor Swift and Kanye West
Taylor Swift doesn't forgive that easily, even if it's been several years later.
In her new essay for Elle, Taylor hinted at the feud and called out Kim Kardashian and Kanye for their behavior.
"While it may be born from having been raised to be a polite young lady, this can contribute to some of your life’s worst regrets if someone takes advantage of this trait in you," she wrote. "Grow a backbone, trust your gut, and know when to strike back. Be like a snake-only bite if someone steps on you."
She also said that she never got an apology from them for everything that happened.
"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," she continued. "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."
Everything can be linked back to the 2009 VMAs when Kanye stormed the stage to basically say Beyoncé should've won Best Female Video. In 2010, Taylor released the song "Mean," which many fans believed to be about Kanye.
Things seemed to have calmed down for the next few years, especially after Kanye "joined" Taylor's squad in 2015 and they hugged. But in 2016, Kanye dropped "Famous," a.k.a. the song with the lyrics "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous." Uh oh. Kanye had said Taylor approved the lyric, but the internet was skeptical.
Months later, Taylor shaded Kanye during her Grammys speech. Included in her spiel was, "There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishment or your fame."
After that went down, Kim stepped in and also confirmed Taylor approved the lyric - then later spilled ALL THE TEA when she posted the video to Snapchat. Taylor responded by claiming Kanye didn't tell her he would call her "that bitch." And we've been in limbo ever since.
3. Kim Kardashian and Chloë Grace Moretz
Last year, Kim posted a nude selfie on Instagram and the internet lost its damn mind. Chloë, however, didn't think it was amazing or appropriate, tweeting, "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies." Kim responded with a meme of herself as well as a harsh tweet: "Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo."
Months later, Chloë brought up that whole situation again with The Hollywood Reporter, talking about how much she doesn't like to talk about the Kardashians. Hmm.
Fast-forward to August 2017: Chloë decided to bring up the feud again during her interview with Variety. "It’s sad for [Kim] to reach out like that to a young woman. There’s a lot of woman-on-woman hate," she said.
4. Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma
After Remy released a track in 2006 with the lyric, "I'm the queen of rap and there is none higher," Minaj released her song a year later with a track contradicting Remy's claim. "Tell that bitch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown / She won three rounds, I'mma need a hundred thou / Oh, y'all ain't know? Bet y'all bitches know now," rapped Nicki.
When Remy got out of prison after serving eight years for first-degree assault, she said things were cool between her and Nicki. Of course, Remy released two tracks in 2016 that fans alleged dissed Nicki and suggested she didn't write all her music.
In February 2017, Nicki released two songs that ~most likely~ are dissing Remy. Not taking that lying down, Remy released "ShETHER," a song that totally called out Nicki - complete with angry tweets. More and the same has been going on ever since.
5. Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey
If you've ever said, "I don't know her" when you were feeling extra petty, you should thank Mariah. When asked in the early '00s to give her opinion on J-Lo, that's the response Mariah coyly gave.
In 2014, J-Lo was asked about the whole ordeal and was pretty indifferent to Mariah's shenanigans. "I know from back in the day, I’ve read things that she’s said about me that were not the greatest, but we have never met," she said. "Like, we don’t know each other. I think it’s kind of from word of mouth of things that have happened in the past that I’m not really aware of.”
During Mariah's performance at the Billboard Music Awards in 2015, J-Lo was seen scrolling through her phone and checking Instagram. Later, J-Lo was asked about the awards show and explained she watched most of Mariah's performance, even though "it was a long performance."
In 2016, J-Lo got the last laugh with that "I don't know her" meme, bluntly stating, "She’s forgetful I guess."
6. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera
If the Glee stars' feud wasn't well-known before, it definitely was after Naya wrote about it in her memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up. Naya claimed Lea "didn't like sharing the spotlight" with her, and that Lea was too "sensitive" on-set. Lea started ignoring her co-star and later refusing to speak to her during Season 6. Yikes.
7. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato
The Disney Channel queens and Princess Protection Program co-stars certainly have a love-hate relationship. After being besties and working together on different projects, Selena started hanging out with Taylor Swift - which clearly pissed off Demi. When asked how Selena was doing, Demi quickly answered, "Ask Taylor."
Things sort of went back to normal for the next couple of years, but Demi eventually unfollowed Selena on Instagram in 2014. Demi allegedly 'grammed and then deleted a super clear message after unfollowing her former bestie: "Swimming away from your bullshit, bye bitch." But in 2015, they were, um, friends again. Mmk.
But a year later, Demi subtweeted about Taylor Swift and things got awkward. Just last month, the girls attended the same charity event, but their paths conveniently never crossed.
8. Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa
In 2016, Kayne went on one of his many Twitter feuds, directly dissing Wiz. Kanye claimed Wiz took everything from Kid Cudi, had "corny" songs, was basically unknown, allowed Amber Rose to "trap him" with a child, and wouldn't even have that kid if it weren't for Kanye.
Months later, Kanye admitted he ended their feud, but Wiz disagreed. ""He apologized ... I wouldn't necessarily say it's squashed though because when you see him talk about it, it doesn't add up to what he said to me on the phone, so I just don't even..."
