Here’s Why Kim Kardashian West Is Sending Taylor Swift and Other “Haters” Valentines
Leave it to Kim Kardashian West to stir up drama, even when promoting her brand! The KKW Beauty mogul recently launched a brand new fragrance collection for Valentine’s Day featuring three different scents shaped like conversation hearts. Now, she’s sending the bottles, which read either “bae,” “BFF,” or “ride or die” — to a plethora of press and A-listers, and some of the recipients are literally the last people we’d ever expect to see on the Keeping Up star’s gift list… including one Taylor Swift!
“I am writing the list for my press boxes,” the mother of three revealed in a snapchat video, where she penned more than 36 sticky notes grouped into three different color-coordinated sets.

“…I decided for this Valentine’s Day, everyone deserves a Valentine,” the beauty mogul explained, “so I’m going to send them to my lovers, to my haters, to everyone that I can think of. Because it’s Valentine’s Day, after all.”
At first glance, the blue, purple, and pink papers just look like an aesthetically-appealing organizational scheme, but upon zooming, we can see that the lists appear to be divided into *very* different tiers.
As one might expect, Paris Hilton, who recently posed as the reality star in support of Kanye West’s sixth season of Yeezy), was the recipient of a “Bae” fragrance.

Though she was on a list alongside other expected names, such as fashion icon, Cher, Anna Wintour, pal Chrissy Teigen, and sisters Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian, plus one UNEXPECTED moniker of Lindsay Lohan (who she recently clapped back at after Lilo made a comment about her controversial braids), it’s didn’t necessarily mean they all received the same fragrance, with West noting that some “haters” also received “bae” (though not all). “All haters didn’t get bae,” she wrote. “Some of my real BFFs got bae too and my mom!”
let me just say all haters didn't get bae. some of my real bff's got bae too and my mom!

Still, the left, green sticky note column was rife with ladies (and one dude!) who have openly criticized or feuded with the businesswoman in the distant and recent past. Taylor Swift (who has written some scathing songs about KKW and Kanye) is on the list, along with Sharon Osbourne, Bette Midler, Wendy Williams, Pink, and Piers Morgan — who have all have criticized the curvaceous beauty for posting nude selfies. Others naysayers included Naya Rivera, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Blac Chyna, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Janice Dickinson.
Somehow we *don’t* think these packages were meant as an olive branch!
You can grab one of the adorable bottles for yourself on the company’s website ($30 each) before Valentine’s Day!
