HOT NEWS: Kim Kardashian THROW shades at Taylor Swift questioning her fashion sense after she was seen carrying two handbags at once
After being spotted taking a romantic stroll on the streets of Lake Como, Italy, earlier this week, the couple put on their best date outfits to enjoy the scenic views on an intimate boat ride.
For the Friday, May 17, outing, Swift, 34, wore a long, tan trench coat paired with $925 black Gianni Ribbon Patent Leather Mary Janes from Versace and the luxury brand’s $1,995 Medusa ’95 leather tote bag.

The singer completed the look with a small gold necklace and her signature red lip. Her NFL beau, 34, popped in a $1,285 black-and-white checkered Junya Watanabe sweater worn with black pants.
The getaway occurred days after Kelce attended Swift’s fourth and final sold-out show at La Défense Arena in Paris, France.
Swift made sure to make the Kansas City Chiefs star feel welcome by wearing his team colors — a sparkly gold crop top and red skirt — during the 1989 portion of the show. Kelce watched the show with Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper

“I got to see Gigi and Bradley. Bradley Cooper, man We were all in the suite having a blast. They’re amazing,” he recalled to his brother Jason Kelce on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast.
While the football tight end said that he “really didn’t get to explore Paris too much,” he opened up about his desire to do so in the near future.
“I didn’t get out there in time. Shout out to Paris for showing up and showing out at all the concerts,” he said. “It looked absolutely amazing for the first three shows and that last show was every bit of electric energy all night, man it was fun.”
Inside Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian’s years-long feud
Kim Kardashian has stoked her years-long feud with Taylor Swift with an eyebrow-raising photo, just days after the singer released a savage diss track.

Why Swift had to diss Kim K on 'Tortured Poets'
Taylor Swift’s standout start to the year is continuing, after her double-album ‘The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology’ dominated the music scape upon release. In a song from the album titled ‘thanK you aIMee’, Swifties have picked apart the lyrics and song title and found what may be slights aimed at the fashion…
It’s the showbiz feud that refuses to die.
Kim Kardashian has stoked the coals of her almost decade-long war with Taylor Swift this week by posting a selfie with the singer’s former best friend, model Karlie Kloss.
It comes one week after Swift released what many saw as a diss track about Kardashian on her chart-topping album The Tortured Poets Department.
In the track, titled thanK you aIMee — spelling out KIM in strategically placed capital letters — Swift, 34, sings about being unable to forgive a “spray-tanned” bully who threw punches at her.
Following the song’s release, Kardashian lost more than 100,000 Instagram followers — a huge dent to the audience on one her most lucrative platforms.

It comes asThe Sun can exclusively reveal deep-seated speculation from Swifties that Kardashian, 43, had been targeting Swift’s friends to appear in her Skims campaigns.
Last month, Sabrina Carpenter, Swift’s long-time friend and the main support act on her Eras world tour, starred in a campaign for the reality star’s lingerie line.
The sponsored posts, showing the up-and-coming star posing in Barbie pink underwear, saw Carpenter gain 30,000 followers on Instagram overnight.
Sabrina Carpenter – Swift’s friend – recently posed for Kardashian’s SKIMS brand.
It prompted an outcry from Swift’s fans — known as Swifties — who flooded the comments section to tell Carpenter they were “disappointed” in her, with one saying: “It makes me question your friendship with Taylor.”
The collaboration is the latest in a long line of Skims partnerships that fans think will have ruffled Swift’s feathers.
In February, Kardashian recruited singer Lana Del Ray — another of Swift’s closest pals and collaborators — to model her Valentine’s underwear range.
No expense was spared on the campaign, which received widespread media attention and launched just days before Swift and Del Ray attended the 2024 Grammys together.
And in October 2023 — shortly after Swift confirmed her romance with Kansas City Chiefs American football player Travis Kelce — Kardashian enlisted Swift’s new NFL WAG bestie Brittany Mahomes and her husband Patrick, who plays alongside tight end Travis, for a family pyjama campaign.
But it is her latest post with model Kloss that cuts the deepest, with Swift’s former best friend and once-closest confidante defecting to the side of the Kardashians star.
This picture wasn’t a campaign image intended to drive underwear sales but an intimate photograph of the pair at a party with other friends.

Fans were quick to point out that the picture of Kardashian and Kloss was at least two years old and questioned why she would post it now — four days after Swift’s album release — if it was not a pointed attack.
Swift and Kloss — once inseparable, with the Victoria’s Secret model a prominent member of Swift’s infamous girl squad and even appearing on the cover of Vogue magazine with her — have never addressed their feud publicly.
But it is widely believed they fell out after Kloss maintained a working relationship with record label executive Scooter Braun when he sold the masters of Swift’s first six albums for $300 million in 2020.
It prompted the I Knew You Were Trouble hit maker to start re-recording her entire back catalogue and hit out at Braun for “bullying” her, which he vehemently denies.
Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift used to be close friends.
While other stars distanced themselves from Braun in the aftermath, Kloss invited him to both of her weddings, where Swift was notably absent.
Swifties also hit out at Kloss for never speaking out against Braun when Swift publicly begged other stars under his management to help her. While her other best friends, model Gigi Hadid and singer Selena Gomez, both hit out at him, Kloss was slammed for posting a stream of photos of herself amid the ongoing drama.
Last August, Kloss was seen in the cheap seats at the final show of the Eras tour in LA while the rest of Swift’s world-famous friends enjoyed the show from a VIP tent, cementing the end of their friendship to the singer’s legion of loyal fans.
And now Kloss is friends with Kardashian, it seems there is no going back.
Kardashian launched her first attack on Swift in 2016, when her then-husband Kanye West released Famous, a song which included the lyrics “I made that b***h famous” in reference to him storming Swift’s VMAs acceptance speech in 2009, and claimed he could “have sex” with her if he wanted.

Swift branded the lyrics misogynistic, and Kardashian retaliated by posting a secret recording of a phone call taken some months before in which West had read a selection of his lyrics out to Swift which she seemingly agreed to.
Kardashian’s fans then flooded Swift’s Instagram account with snake emojis, calling her out as a liar. And Kardashian did nothing to calm the storm, posting a string of snake emojis on her own social media.
The hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty began trending, prompting Swift to go into hiding for two years.
It was during this time she wrote her 2017 Reputation album in response to the drama.
Fans took the track Look What You Made Me Do to be an attack on Kardashian, with the lyrics: “I don’t like your little games / Don’t like your tilted stage / The role you made me play of the fool / No, I don’t like you.”
A clip of the full conversation between West and Swift resurfaced in 2020, and appeared to dispel any evidence that Swift had agreed to the lyrics — and suggested the original clip had been manipulated.
But the damage was already done.

Swift spoke openly in several magazine interviews about the impact the feud had on her, telling Time last year: “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.
“I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone any more. I went down really, really hard.”
In the years that followed, famous friends of the pair have been forced to choose between the two camps.
Kardashian’s sister Kendall Jenner, one of the A-listers who supported Swift on stage in London in 2015, has not been seen with her since, with Kardashian saying in a 2017 interview: “Kendall was never part of Taylor’s squad.”

Meanwhile, Swift’s long-term best friend, Selena Gomez, distanced herself from the Kardashians after the drama, despite having fledgling friendships with both Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
And while Kardashian had appeared to try to quash the feud in recent years, posting Swift’s songs on her social media profiles and telling one chat show host that the war was over, it seems Swift’s latest release has dispelled any peace between the pair.
