Ivanka Trump, a close friend of Kim Kardashian, recently celebrated her daughter Arabella’s 13th birthday with a Taylor Swift-inspired cake. The Instagram carousel posted by the former White House advisor included snaps of the cake, which was frosted white with red “13” candles. The cake featured blood-like icing when cut open and lyrics from Swift’s song “Blank Space” that read, “Boys only want love if its torture.” The heart-shaped dessert, resembling the one in Swift’s music video, was hailed by Trump as the “best cake for [her] favorite Swiftie.”
Kim Kardashian, amidst her ongoing feud with Taylor Swift, reacted to the social media post by Ivanka Trump, wishing Arabella a happy birthday. The slideshow was also liked by Kardashian, which prompted Swifties to flood the comments section with references to “thanK you aIMee.” Swift herself released a diss track titled “thanK you aIMee” as part of her latest album, where she seemingly references Kardashian as a “bronze, spray-tanned bully.”
The feud between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift dates back to 2016 when Kardashian sided with her then-husband Kanye West over his controversial song lyrics. Swift claimed that she did not approve of West rapping about her in a derogatory manner, leading to a public fallout between the two pop culture icons. Swift’s fans retaliated by bombarding Kardashian’s social media with snake emojis, which Swift later turned into a symbol of empowerment during her “Reputation” era.
Despite the ongoing rift, Kim Kardashian has refrained from commenting on the scathing songs released by Taylor Swift. In a 2019 interview, Swift mentioned her approach to dealing with online trolls by using humor and reclaiming negative imagery as a form of empowerment. Kardashian’s daughter North has shown signs of being a Swiftie herself, as evidenced by a now-deleted TikTok video of the mother-daughter duo dancing to “Shake It Off.”
Ivanka Trump’s heartfelt message to her daughter Arabella highlighted the teenager’s accomplishments, including singing, piano playing, horseback riding, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu practice. Trump, who shares two sons with her husband Jared Kushner, expressed her admiration for Arabella’s strength and character, calling her a remarkable young woman.
Ivanka Trump’s seemingly innocent gesture of celebrating her daughter’s birthday with a Taylor Swift-themed cake sparked controversy and reignited tensions between Swifties and followers of Kim Kardashian. The underlying feud between Kardashian and Swift continues to be a point of interest for fans and followers of both celebrities.
