The Great Taylor Swift-Katy Perry War has been happening for about nine or ten months. I’m sure it’s been happening for longer than that, actually, but Swifty only went public with her Katy feud last fall as she promoted her album. Since then, Swifty’s actions have been that of a bullying Mean Girl, obsessively collecting high-profile friends and trying to make Katy look… I don’t know? Friendless? Like Katy only has her cupcake boobs for company. Swifty even amassed an insane (and inane) collection of friends for her “Bad Blood” video, which should have just been called “Katy Perry is Such a Loser, I Hate Her So Much.”
Why bring all of this up? Because Swifty might have her sights set on another victim. Star Magazine says she’s got plans to Mean Girl the hell out of Kendall Jenner!
Taylor Swift has amassed an army of BFFs but there’s one It Girl who’s been conspicuously absent from Taylor’s crew: Kendall Jenner. Sources say Taylor has declared war on Kendall, all because Kendall has cozied up to Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.
“Kendall has been seeing Bieber and Selena is livid,” informs a spy. “She wants to hurt Kendall by stealing all her friends and has enlisted Taylor to help her.”
Now Taylor has been working overtime to turn Kendall’s bestie Cara Delevingne against her.
“Cara is a social climber and knows that Taylor will do a lot for her reputation, so she’s switched cliques,” reveals the source. “Kendall thinks Taylor is as fake as they come and that Selena is pathetic for still being hung up on Justin.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
If Tay-Tay is trying to turn Cara against Kendall, she’s doing a really bad job with it because Kendall is still all over Cara’s social media. Cara is tight with Rihanna too, and Rihanna has never participated in Taylor and Katy’s war. My guess is that Kendall’s absence from all of Swifty’s gatherings is on purpose, and Kendall probably isn’t someone Tay-Tay feels she needs to “collect.” But Katy Perry is still the #1 Enemy. Because Taylor is in middle school. Seriously.

Sounds childish.
No kidding! What a bunch of complete idiots!
This comment made me smile, and you are so right!
thats why i believe its totally true.
I just don’t know if I believe the whole “friend war” line of reasoning. People try to make lots of friends all the time, especially people in their teens and 20s. Large cliques aren’t unique. I just don’t see any evidence of Taylor wanting friends just as a result of Katy Perry.
The idea tries to assign unique reasons to incredibly typical behavior.
+1
Taylor isn’t bitter enough to constantly be feuding. She’s even been seen out with Kendall. Kendall was asked to be in the video but she was scheduled to be elsewhere.
It’s better to be friends than enemies. Takes a lot of drama lovers a long time to learn that. Taylor is endlessly gracious to others and is just someone who gets along with people who aren’t passive aggressive or maladjusted people.
Agree with Priya. I think it’s too bad Star Magazine can make up any story they feel like, and everyone says “She’s SO childish! “. People who have dealt with her say she’s very sweet, she’s unfailingly considerate of her fans, and she does all kinds of things for charity. I will believe stuff if I see proof, or at least a pattern! (Bieber, for example: I’d believe ANY awful story about him!)
Jeez, grow up. Invest your time in something worth while.
Wow. Money really doesn’t buy you happiness… all so petty, immature, and pathetic!
And don’t forget, according to Tay-Tay: there’s a special place in Hell for women who don’t help other women
What’s the old adage? You point a finger at someone and three more are pointing back at you
Oh please. I doubt this is true and even if it is I am sure Kendall was brought up to be a “mean girl” and can handle this all by herself without getting any sympathy from the rest of us.
It is from Star Magazine so it is probably not true.
I don’t like Taylor And her need to collect friends like garage pail kids, but I see Kris all over this. She’s probably butt hurt her “supermodel” daughter wasnt included in the video. How dare Taylor! doesn’t she know Kendal is the best supermodel to have ever supermodeled in the whole wide world of supermodels. 😂 she’s so supermodely!
Garbage pail kids! XD
THANK YOU! Such an obvious made up story.
I don’t doubt this. Taylor will forever be 13 years old. This is why when grown men date her, it freaks me out.
Geez when you put it that way that Calvin Harris is starting to look pretty creepy
What’s the theory… famous folks stop developing (emotionally) at the time they get famous. So ya, 13 for Taylor would make sense.
Yes Allie! I agree 100%! Then I think whats wrong with the guys that makes them not mind dating her.
If this is true ,Taylor sounds a little psycho.
“A little”????
It sounds like her hobby is to declare war on (virtually) random people.
Sadly, sounds like an in-law I know.
Look up “Taylor Nation’s attacks” on the ATRL music forum. It’s shocking stuff.
The thing that drives me crazy about Taylor Swift is she thinks she can publicly shame anyone she doesn’t like in a song or video but when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey made a joke about her at an awards show she made some comment about there being a special place in hell for women who don’t support each other? So I am supposed to believe Amy and Tina are monsters for making a joke while she is allowed to write slam songs? Plus if this Katy Perry “feud” is really about Katy stealing back up dancers shouldn’t Taylor be annoyed with the dancers…..or maybe with herself because they preferred Katy over her. They are professional dancers who are allowed to make whatever career decisions they want. She comes across as so immature in all of this.
I don’t trust this “everyone is friends with everyone” trend.
I might be an insufferable snob, but to me, in real life, there are only a few people you genuninely enjoy hanging out with. Many others are “ok”, sort of “duh” types I either don’t mind or barely tolerate, and then there is the rest of the world which I happily ignore.
When you have to deal with work, family, money problems, stress and everything, you tend to become picky regarding the things and the people that make you feel good (or at least you should, and that’s what I do).
Should we really believe that all these egocentric, full-of-themselves narcisisstic celebrities love each other so much??
This is how I am,…. I am an enigma in my circle because if someones a complete arse Im not going to hang out with you. I have other folks that are like I don’t like so and so either but we are going to lunch today! (I have no tolerance for this fakery)!
Agreed…It’s like that where I work. All these girls hate each other (apparently) but you see pics of them getting drunk together on FB with tags like ‘Besties! #loveher’. Peculiar. There’s one girl that used to work with us that I couldn’t stand (nor could anyone), and I know she didn’t like me, but she was always trying to get me to go out for drinks with her. Oh yes, let’s pretend we like each other, for why?
The reason the full of themselves narcissists flock together is pure ego. They feel the need to rub shoulders with others of their ilk. The beautiful people always flock together, they follow wealth and success. I grew up in a money town, everyone there is unnaturally good-looking. It’s all driven by money and success. You never see successful people surrounded by normal people, they have layers and layers of sycophants.
“Rihanna has never participated in Taylor’s and Katy’s war”
If Rihanna looks more mature than you, you have a problem Taylor.
ha ha ha ha so true
So long as Taylor isn’t going after Chris Brown Rihanna has 0 beef.
BOOM!
(and, to add…hahahahahaha!)
This is probably why the universe is showing me why I will never be a singer/actress. This ridiculous bickering with two equally less talented people is just tired. Taylor there is such a little aspect of behavior it is called Maturity, you should try it sometime. As for Rihanna, you are going to “love” me for this but…… I think Rihanna is very talented….. as a supermodel. She is fierce like Naomi Capmbell and wear clothes like nobody’s business. What? You didn’t think I was going to say that singing is her talent didn’t you? Hahaha!
That is the thing. If Rihanna would just give up the ghost and become a model she would be tolerable , at the least.
Was “Bad Blood” really about Katy Perry? If so, this is my main reason for Taylor Swift hate. She always throws low-key shade. She moved on from relationships to friendships. But still the same song and dance.
Are we really buying the Star as being truthful on, well, anything?
I can’t believe I even read this but since I did I will even add this.
Team Swifty.
As I despise anything Kardashian. And Kendall is a social climber as well just like her mother was and still is. I would love it if Taylor is the one to bring the the whole whore team down but I think it might need more than one person to do that.
She might need some help, maybe Madonna? Gwen? Beyonce ? Who else can she ask to help her out ? She needs people who are mean with power to knock down this cockroach family that just will not die.
“Kendall thinks…that Selena is pathetic for still being hung up on Justin.”
well…IF she is, then yes, she IS…
and JEEBUS these people are so feckin’ immature!
I feel bad for Selena since it seems like she really loves him but seriously…I can’t have any respect for someone who trails behind Justin like a lost puppy.
There’s a difference between love and obsession!
i hardly believe this b/c Swift had a pretty big problem with Selena’s relationship with Beiber. I thought she and Selena fell out for a while because of Beiber. I doubt that she would now take up this cause–she’s probably happy that Beiber is leaving her friend alone.
with everyone else i would doubt this story plus its Star but with Taylor i believe it. we have evidence!!!
Am I wrong to admire Rihanna more and more as time goes on? She used to strike me as a beautiful but pitiful woman with a fantastic voice. Now she’s seeming like a class act.
Katy and Swifty seem to be regressing. Norman and Kendall are my favorite Jennar/Katdashians.
…I’m concerned you think she has a great voice.
Tbh Rihanna is just as petty and cruel, you can google cyber bully + Rihanna and there’s results for days. Not to mention her attacking Karreuche’s race for being with Chris Brown.
I honestly haven’t heard about these recent things about Rihanna until now. I still love her voice although I have no musical expertise.
Please just don’t tell me that Norman Jennar is a mean boy.
Katy is problematic for sure but comes off mature in this mess, which isn’t a very high bar I realize. Outside of one vague tweet about Regina George/Mean Girls months ago around Katy hasn’t said or done anything regarding Taylor’s feud or Bad Blood. She’s just off living her life and basically ignoring all of Taylor’s antics.
The retaliation song that Katy was supposedly writing turned out to be bogus and the media jumping the gun and trying to create something that wasn’t there. It’s coming off like a very one-sided feud these days. And, really, when Katy Perry and Rihanna come off like the most mature ones in a situation, Taylor should look at her life, look at her choices.
This is the type of story I don’t quite believe, but also don’t doubt.
I don’t know it feels like Taylor is ‘that girl’ you go to school with.
The little angel that all the adults adore, she’s not a bad girl, barely interesting but she’ll go nuclear on any and every person who hurts her. Till the end of the school year she’ll still be talking trash about you and trying to make everyone hate you.
As evidence: 75% of the songs she’s ever written.
+1 Don’t think this particular story is true, but she does seem Eddie Haskell-like (Leave It To Beaver character).
Doubt that Cara needs anything Taylor can give her, seriously. Their circles are lightyears apart.
If Cara is hanging with Kendall, she needs to upgrade her circle.
I loathe Taylor. She is so fake and contrived and VERY full of herself. She thinks Taylor Swift is the best most awesome person that has ever existed. I do admit, however, that she has decent song writing abilities and an okay voice. Her cover of riptide, just her and a piano, was pretty good. It was the first time I’ve ever been impressed by her musically. Also, I wouldn’t mind having her body, hunchback excluded. She needs a posture intervention.
And the key words here are “the first time I was impressed by her musically.” That performance was processed. You can’t just go from a near inability to hear tone to having the beautiful melodic ability of a Sam Smith. I mean that it is literally impossible-you are either born with the ability to hear tone and sing or you aren’t- it is an unteachable skill. That anyone could believe that she could just pop into a studio rigged to the nines with sound equipment and just do that out of the blue…sorry, it’s just not possible.
I’m not a fan.. there is something about her that bothers me.. I saw a comment and it sums her up to me.. She as this person said is a Collector of People.. or People Collector.. and I think that is true. She likes to collect people like they are things for her to surround herself with.
Boring people often do. They need interesting people around them to seem less bland. If Taylor is friends with a Victoria Secret model then she becomes sexier by default. If she’s friends with a bad girl then maybe she’s not so vanilla and etc.
Yeah, but she doesn’t. I don’t care how many pleasantly angled, pro hair and made-up pictures of her get shoved down our throats by the media, she is. not. pretty. and. she. is. not. sexy. Just look at the header picture and the ones with her next to the models. She suffers greatly in comparison. One would think that somebody as shallow and contrived as her would understand the rule that you never stand next to somebody that’s wildly better looking than you are because it makes you look awful in comparison, but she seems to believe that these fake friendships enhance her.
If you think Taylor is boring, your world is very sad indeed.
This doesn’t make any sense. Taylor thought Selena was an idiot for going back to the Biebs over and over again–and she was right. If she really didn’t like Kendall Jenner, wouldn’t she be wishing him on her?
Personally I think she just doesn’t want to have to get the Kardashian out of her furniture after Kendall comes over–and she’s right about that too.
Except Taylor and Kendall are friends…

Taylor is like the Barbie of the Pop music world. Friends sold separately.
LMAO.
“Collect all her exes!”
lol. Taylor don’t need Katy but Katy needs Taylor I think this feud is over and neither are innocent.. It’s girl crap over one ass of a guy that started it. Women. lol
Except Katy hasn’t done anything to fuel this feud. It’s been one sided all along. I don’t like Katy, she’s very problematic in her own ways and her insistence on getting back together with John Mayer baffles me, and I don’t like defending her, but she’s not the one who wrote a burn song about this betrayal. Then made a video of the song with her collection of celeb friends. And had a world premiere for the video at an awards show. After the group all walked the red carpet like the popular girls at school walking down the hall in a clique. Taylor may not need Katy but she’s not above using her for business gain either.
Katy done nothing really?? Now why do you suppose the burn song was written in the first place? Could it be that Taylor and Katy were good friends till Katy broke the woman code and dated her ex as in Mayer.. It has ruined many girl friendships in the past. Done nothing really.
You’re not seriously buying this mysogynistic storyline are you? This was practically patented in the ’50’s, girl fight for PR, these two women are quite successful, they engage none of their time in a petty feud that is then gossiped about in Star. “Women. lol.” Yeah, they’re laughing all the way to the bank, but by all means, patronize them and pat them on their little heads as you chuckle at their silly, feminine, tomfoolery.
Not related to this story, but there was a blip about Taylor Swift on the teevee, as a promo about an upcoming story on some show we didn’t watch, and BF turns, looks at screen, and says, “Something about her is odd…she looks like an alien.” Sorry, but the alien part cracked me up.
Ive read three times on three different websites that it’s rumored gigi hadid and calvin harris have hooked up in the past. I dont put weight on that stuff unless something comes out to edge me one way into believing it, but I have to admit that was an interesting nugget and I wondered if it had any truth to it. If it is true and Taylor Swift finds out talk about new album material!
Isn’t Kendall’s friend Hailey Badlwin seeing Beiber? I’m almost sure she was all over his insta and vice versa. Regardless, so petty. Save the mean girling for high schoolers.
I haven’t liked Taylor since I went over to see her Tumblr likes, which are just pages upon pages of her liking posts of her fans fawning over her and shipping her and Calvin. Embarrassing.
This story is weird though, when I saw the headline I was sure they were gonna throw in something about the fact that they both dated Harry Styles too. And I can’t see her feuding with someone who already has claimed to be a victim of Mean Girl Models as good for her brand. Not that I think Taylor is above having a dumb public feud for attention, but she’s calculating enough to pick a better target IMO.
I was going to say this is a classic LA case of Blondes versus Brunettes, but I forgot about Selena. Anyway, I see that Taylor is more vocal about this katy perry feud- but from what I have seen, Katy Perry is the C yoU Next Tuesday. Didn’t she steal employees from taylor’s then-in- progress tour, all the while acting like she was her best friend? That is grade A bitch , packaged in a cupcake bra. Taylor may make the war public- which is not uncommon for a 20-22 year old to do, but Katy started the war, and just seems like a mean bitch all the time anyway. Its kind of telling that none of the actual talented musical acts have anything to do with her: Gaga, Miley, Swift- none of them appear to be friends with Katy.
Just saying.
While I think all Star Mag stories are fake… the 5th grade tactics Taylor enlists for this hate game as turned many against her. When you need to collect friends, are they really your friends. I don’t think Katy is really playing the game and I applaud all those who’ve avoided the Taylor game. Too stupid for words. Then Taylor will go on about how she’s being portrayed in the media. GIRL, grow up. Yes, she approached your dancers. You’re not the first nor the last, deal with Katy and leave us the hell out of our pity party. Same for her issue with the boyfriend thing… we didn’t write bad boyfriend songs to invite the public to judge, you did. How about deal with your issues in private.
This sounds so junior high that it might just be a junior high fantasy, concocted and spread by a 13 year old. Taylor is way too old for such stuff. This is like the youngsters assuming anybody who is critical of the current target of their fan frenzy must be “jealous”. They just really don’t know enough about life to realize that it’s very unlikely.
Star: Kendall is not an ‘it girl’, she’s more of a bland girl..
Umm HELLO Kendall is a Kardashian, and the Kardashians are entertaining but as trashy as they come. No matter how successful of a model she becomes, I doubt Swifty would want to be associated with her.
Kendall is the one who’s pathetic for trying to date Bieber
Whether this is true/not true, it seems that girls/women her age (T. Swift) and the millions of fans out there – including the 12 year old girls in my family – dislike Katy Perry because Taylor Swift somehow dislikes her. How this all becomes a matter for the fans is puzzling. But, it also means that role model TSwift is directly or indirectly encouraging young girls to be “haters” and alienate other girls not like them. I have only watched TSwift from a distance (I mean the TV etc.) but she does have a twinge of the “leader of this pack” mentality. However, and this is the rub, she and KP have a mutual Ex right? She disses Perry because a guy came between them, right? She hates KP because of a man. Also very typical female behavior. Also, sets a really bad precedent.
Best quote I ever heard was “women could accomplish a lot if they could learn to stick together.”
