CELEBRITYKim Kardashian is making ‘deliberate, conscious moves to rattle’ Taylor Swift & ‘muscling in’ on her fandom, expert says

Kim is delivering the message to Taylor that their issues have not been resolved.

KIM Kardashian’s decade-long feud with Taylor Swift has been thrust into the spotlight again in the wake of her latest Skims release.

The reality star has been stoking the flames for months using different tactics to get her message across, according to a psychologist.

Kim’s Skims campaign caused a stir as it featured Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and his wife Brittany Mahomes, with their kids, Sterling, two, and 11-month-old Bronze.

It came just weeks after Taylor went public about her romance with Patrick’s Kansas Chief teammate, Travis Kelce.

The pop icon is known to be friends with Brittany, 28.

“Promoting Skims while being friends with Taylor doesn’t sit right with me,” one fan wrote about Brittany.

Another added: “100% never supporting anything a Kardashian does. And Kim is so desperate to get at Taylor, it’s laughable.”

STRATEGIC SWAROVSKI

Kim’s most dazzling Skims collaboration was with the crystal company, Swarovski.

Creative designer, Giovanna Engelbert said she centered the collection around their Millenia necklace.

She also called it the “Taylor Swift necklace,” since the singer had worn it in her Bejeweled music video.

Here we have the blindingly obvious,” said Hemmings.

“It is amazing to think that Kim was building the entire new Skims collection around a Taylor Swift necklace.”

CRYSTAL CONTROL

Taylor’s sold-out Eras Tour has seen her sing tracks dressed in sequin bodysuits and bejeweled costumes.

The All Too Well star also rocked up at the 2022 MTV VMAs in a crystal-covered Oscar de la Renta mini dress.

Kim has since jumped on the crystal bandwagon alongside her.

Ahead of her Swarovski partnership, Kim emailed Engelbert, saying: “The sparkle and glamour of Swarovski’s crystals are so fun to me.”

Kim’s 2023 Met Gala look also saw her sashaying along the red carpet covered in strings of shimmering pearls.

This was similar to Taylor’s dress at the 2022 MTV Awards.

Kim’s 2022 Marilyn Monroe dress also featured six thousand crystals.

Kim seems to need more than just her brand or Skims to keep her in the spotlight, ” added Hemmings.

“This extended into what she is wearing on the red carpet.

“As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

“This all might look like Kim is paying a tribute to Taylor and as a compliment, but it is not.”

Lacy Logistics

In 2021 Taylor was wearing plenty of black lace.

Her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance went down a storm, also given her attention-grabbing outfit.

Kim rocked up at the 2023 Baby2Baby Gala on November 11 decked out in the same look.

Rarely we can look at Kim’s behavior and think it is just a coincidence,” added Hemmings.

“This applies to her style choices and across the board.”

BIG BANG

In January Khloe Kardashian, 38, posed for Sorbet magazine sporting new bangs and looking just like Taylor.

Fans commented: “I thought it was Taylor Swift lol.”

Another tweeted: “She’s the biggest Swiftie.”
