Taylor Swift is one of the most talked-about celebrities in the world, and every area of her life is covered ad nauseam. Sure, coverage is largely regarding her love life, but the feuds that she has engaged in have also received an extensive amount of coverage.
Whether it's with Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Swift has feuded with some of Hollywood's biggest names, which does have some wondering about why she seems to get into it with so many other people.
One of her most heated feuds has been with singer, Katy Perry. Years back, Perry was in a relationship with Diplo, a popular figure in his own right. During this time, the DJ was all too happy to take a stand for his girl.
Lorde Herself Had To Issue An Apology For Her Comments About Taylor Swift
When speaking with The Guardian, Lorde was asked what about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship with someone as prominent as Swift, she made a bad comparison.
"It’s like having a friend with very specific allergies. There are certain places you can’t go together. Certain things you can’t do. There are these different sets of considerations within the friendship. It’s like having a friend with an autoimmune disease," she replied.
This managed to anger a lot of people, and Lorde promptly apologized.
"I f***** up & that was really insensitive. I’m sorry," she said in a reply on social media.
Lorde also had to go on the defensive regarding her friendship with Swift in 2017 after some comments of hers were misconstrued.
"Really s----- to wake up to headlines about whether or not you've jumped ship on someone you deeply respect and ride for. I want to say one more time that Taylor has been there for me in all my dark and light moments these past 5 years. All of them. I feel truly terrible that it would ever seem like I wasn't faithfully her person," she said.
She then added, "I f***** up an interview question. Now go sip a beverage and head out on a walk."
It's clear as day that Lorde is down for hers, and won't hesitate to go to bat for them.
Lorde Came After Diplo Following His Taylor Swift Comments
In a social media post, Diplo took an ill-advised shot at Taylor Swift.
"Someone should make a Kickstarter to get Taylor Swift a booty," he wrote.
For added context, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have spent many years at odds. Their feud has been widely-publicized, and there is no love lost between the pair.
Clearly, Diplo felt emboldened to take Swift down a peg or two.
Kicking a hornets nest was a dumb idea, and Lorde, a powerhouse in her own right, was all too happy to chime in.
"Should we do something about your tiny penis while we’re at it hm," Lorde replied.
It was a straight-up gut punch that garnered a lot of traction.
Lorde and Swift have been friends for ages, and the younger Lorde was ready to defend her pal without hesitation.
One Reddit user was a huge fan of this clap back.
- "I knowww it’s better for her mental health and I know celebrities as a whole have shied away from social media (and I don’t blame her or any other celeb)......but god I miss this era of her on social media," they wrote.
- "Lordes tweets are a New Zealand national treasure and Lorde herself is too," another wrote.
Many, many years later, Diploe took accountability for what he put on social media, chalking it up to his sense of humor.
Said Diplo, "I’m a weird, humorous person, but my sense of humour wasn’t taken well,’ is how he puts it today. ‘Then I thought, do I want to be known as the a**hole? I wasn’t an a**hole, in my opinion, but I did use social media like it was a joke. Then it became very real. What’s funny now is that I don’t even know my Twitter login. Someone else just Twitters for me.’ Is he relieved not to be pop’s panto villain anymore? ‘Yeah.'
Still not a great look, after all this time.
Unfortunately, even Lorde has spewed words about Taylor Swift, but hers were not quite the same as Diplo's.
