Taylor Swift Apologizes To Nicki Minaj After MTV VMA Feud; Read The Message

Taylor Swift doesn’t want any “bad blood” with Nicki Minaj. The 25-year-old singer took to Twitter on Thursday in an attempt to bury the hatchet with the “Anaconda” rapper.

“I thought I was being called out,” Swift wrote on the social media site. “I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I’m sorry, Nicki. @NICKIMINAJ.”

The feud between Swift and Minaj started on Tuesday when the “Blank Space” songstress believed Minaj to be targeting here in a series of messages about the MTV VMA nominations. Minaj went on Twitter to voice how upset she was about “Anaconda” being left out of the nominations for “Video of the Year.”

Ellen did her own anaconda video and did the #choreo lol. Remember her doing that kick . Even mtv did a post on the choreo @MTV remember?

U couldn't go on social media w/o seeing ppl doing the cover art, choreo, outfits for Halloween...an impact like that & no VOTY nomination?

When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.

If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year

Oh but trust me. I'll be on that stage to collect my awards for vid of the year. Feeling Myself & Anaconda.

Swift responded to Minaj’s post with the following message:

@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..

@NICKIMINAJ If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on.

Nicki Minaj fired right back at her:

Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13

Swift and Minaj's feud went viral and got people debating the situation. Katy Perry, who Swift's song "Bad Blood" is rumored to be about, even chimed in with her own thoughts on the feud.

Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...

According to Marie Claire UK, “Anaconda” broke the VEVO record for most views in 24 hours when it was released in August 2014. The video raked in 19.6 million views within that time frame.
