Swift & Jenner: Unexpected Courtside Hello
11 Jun
Summary
- Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner were seen hugging at an NBA game.
- The encounter follows a decade-long feud between Swift and Kim Kardashian.
- Swift described the past feud as a 'career death' and a 'frame job'.
Taylor Swift and Kylie Jenner were observed greeting each other warmly with a hug at Madison Square Garden on June 10, following the New York Knicks' victory in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Swift was present with friends Alana and Este Haim, and Mariska Hargitay, while Jenner attended with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
This interaction arrives ten years after Swift's notorious public conflict with Jenner's older sister, Kim Kardashian. The feud escalated in the summer of 2016 when Kardashian released edited clips of a phone call between her then-husband Kanye West and Swift concerning a lyric in West's song "Famous."
Swift had vehemently denied approving the controversial lyric, while West maintained she had given her consent. Reflecting on the situation in a December 2023 interview, Swift characterized the ordeal as a "career death" and a "fully manufactured frame job" that severely impacted her psychologically. She also released "thanK you aIMee" on her 2024 album, a track widely interpreted as a message to Kardashian.
Earlier in 2026, Kardashian acknowledged that she continues to include some of Swift's older music on her playlists, praising her as a "super talented, great artist" despite their contentious history.
