These Are All the Ways Taylor Swift’s Squad Is Firing Back at Kanye
Taylor Swift and Kanye West have a complicated relationship to say the least. After that iconic “I’ma let you finish” moment at the 2009 VMAs it only seemed natural that they become mortal enemies. But then, to everyone’s surprise, she actually introduced Kanye when he received the Vanguard Award at the VMAs last year.
However, after it was recently revealed that a super disrespectful lyric is included in Kanye’s upcoming album, it looks like this friendship might be done for good. Kanye’s acquired a well-known reputation for making some crazy comments, but this time, he seems to have pitted himself up against not only Taylor, but her entire squad. Taylor’s friends – most of which happen to be some of the most popular celebrities in Hollywood right now – have been taking to social media to both share their support for Taylor and some harsh words for Kanye. Here’s what they had to say.
I'm so sad right now & disappointed right now. I stand by my sister. Always.

1. Jaime King: Taylor and Jaime King are super close friends. So much so that T. Swift is actually the godmother of Jaime’s son Theo James. Jaime took to Twitter this morning to announce that she is 100% “standing by her sister.”

My attendance somewhere does not mean I agree with everything being said in the music playing there. My friends know of my loyalty.

3. Gigi Hadid: After Gigi was spotted at Kanye’s Yeezy Season 3 fashion show, the model received some flack for cohorting with the enemy. Gigi quickly fired back with this tweet.
Too many lines crossed. If I put myself in the shoes of the women he has hurt recently. Victims of Bill Cosby, The Slut shaming, Amber…

And now my dear friend Taylor.. Right before another huge moment for her.. Can I still support him and call myself a feminist? A friend? No.
