FANS have shared their surprise after learning that Kim Kardashian’s daughter North is a fan of her mom’s celebrity nemesis.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashian alum has had beef with singer Taylor Swift since her relationship with Kanye West began in 2011.
Kim and North uploaded a new TikTok this week
They sang the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s hit song Shake It Off
But to the surprise of Kim’s fans, this week, the reality star filmed a video with her eldest daughter North to the beat of Taylor’s hit single Shake It Off.
In the clip, the nine-year-old and her mom wore matching white hoodies, with the TV personality showing off her figure underneath in a black sports bra and leggings.
The duo wildly danced and sang the lyrics to the track, all while flaunting a pink-eyed filter in the camera.
FAN CONTROVERSY
Fans were shocked to see Kim and Kanye’s daughter so enthusiastic about the song as the ex-couple had been involved in a decade-long feud with Taylor.
Several took to Reddit to discuss the situation, with one writing: “Not North being a Taylor Swift fan,” alongside the video to open up the conversation.
“I remember a few years back people said North would be blasting Taylor’s music in her bedroom. Not them being right,” a second joked.
A third remarked: “I always wonder how celebrities deal with other people bumping to the people they beef with music. Especially their family members.”
“Kimmy dancing openly to Taylor Swift in 2023 was not on my bingo card, but I’m here for it. I find their tiktoks endearing,” a fourth admitted.
“I’m pretty sure kim said last year on a podcast she has actually learned to like taylor and has moved on. I definitely remember this i’ll try and find it,” a fifth noted.
“I wonder how North would feel when she grows up and finds out all the s**t that Kanye and Kim did to Taylor. Especially the non-consensual use of Taylor’s naked body in Kanye’s music video,” a final wondered.
KANYE VS. TAYLOR
Kanye West and Taylor Swift have had drama since the 2009 MTV VMA awards.
That night, Taylor, at 19 years old, accepted the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me.
As she began making her speech, Kanye infamously stormed the stage, grabbing the microphone out of a stunned Taylor’s hand.
He said: “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time… one of the best videos of all time!”
He was booed off the stage and handed the mic back to Taylor, but it was too late; MTV had already cut to a commercial before she could finish her speech.
In February 2016, Kanye released his new track, Famous.
The song includes a line: “I feel like, me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b***h famous.”
Kanye claimed that he had sought Taylor’s approval first and even had his now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian release a video in which the rapper called the singer to tell her about the track.
Taylor hit back, saying that she had consented to the first part of the line but not the part where Kanye used the word b***h.
KIM’S CLAP BACK
Kim Kardashian would continue to dig into the feud, which later sparked song lyrics from Taylor in which she doesn’t name Kanye or Kim specifically but hints about their drama.
Songs on both Reputation and also Lover seemingly reference their feud.
Kim told GQ that Taylor had given Kanye her full blessing over the Famous lyrics.
She said: “She totally approved that; she wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.”
“I swear, my husband gets so much s**t for things [when] he was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.”
In December 2017, Kim reignited the quarrel after posting a throwback snap of the singer’s naked wax lookalike, which appeared in Kanye’s Famous exhibition and video.
She shared the picture of her husband’s controversial art exhibit from 2016, which featured a lookalike of the singer in bed alongside Kim, Kanye, and a host of other big names.
Kim captioned the picture: “Famous.”
After Kim posted the snap online, she was inundated with comments from Taylor’s fans accusing her of picking on the singer.
Taylor appeared to hit back just 24 hours later, posting a picture of herself from her new Vogue shoot.
She wrote next to the picture: “I never trust a narcissist, but they love me…”
WAVING THE WHITE FLAG?
Taylor finally got retribution in March 2020 when their feud was reignited after an unedited version of the conversation between her and Kanye was released online.
The leaked footage proved that Taylor was not told about the second verse, in which he calls her a b***h.
However, in December 2021, Kim seemingly squashed her feud with Taylor Swift and gushed that she “really likes” the pop star’s “catchy” music.
