As for Swift, she showed off her spirit in an orange-and-blue “Stevie Knicks” T-shirt, accessorizing with a matching bow tied around her ponytail for an extra festive touch.

Fans Reacted to Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift’s Interaction

The interaction quickly went viral, given the long and complicated history between Swift and the Kardashian-Jenner family.

“Why can’t everyone see how awkward this is !! Kylies eyes and quick turn around are not giving friendly 😂,” one user said, while another added, “Do y’all realize how insane this is???”

“Kylie Jenner was a huge Taylor Swift fan when she was younger! she even made videos to her songs,” a third pointed out. “Their relationship wasn’t really an issue back then, things shifted more after the Kanye drama. Honestly, I’m not surprised to see them like this! And glad this has happened 🥹🥲.”

Inside Taylor Swift’s Drama With the Kardashian-Jenners

The feud between Swift and the Kardashian family started more than 15 years ago, when Kim Kardashian’s then-husband, Kanye West, ambushed Swift at the 2009 VMAs while presenting her the Video of the Year award.

Though the “Heartless” rapper, 49, apologized, the drama reignited years later when he released the controversial song “Famous,” where he rapped, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have s–. Why? I made that b—- famous.”

Taylor Swift Called the Feud a ‘Career Death’

After West received backlash for the track, the Skims owner, 45, defended the song by releasing a phone call between her then-husband and Swift that made it seem like she permitted him.

Swift pushed back on the claim, saying she had never been played the full track. Four years later, the complete phone call was released, seemingly backing up her account.

The country music singer has spoken out about the fued, calling it a “career death” in a 2023 interview with TIME.

“Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me,” she told the outlet. “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.”
