Taylor Swift Has Learned an Important Lesson

Taylor Swift knows she may have bad blood again in the future with a fellow celebrity.


But she tells the latest issue of NME that she’s learned how to handle it now.



Speaking to the British fashion magazine, Swift was reticent to talk about her recent feud with Nicki Minaj.



It went down in August after Swift took offense to Minaj Tweeting about how the MTV Video Music Awards only honor singers who “celebrate women with very slim bodies.”


Taylor took offense to the comment, believe Minaj was referring to her and the stars went back and forth for a bit on Twitter.


They buried the hatchet to the point where they actually appeared together on stage at the 2015 VMAs, but still.


“I send text messages now,” Swift says. “If there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding, I go to someone’s management, I get their number and I text them.”


Regarding the dangers of social media and how it can lead to some misunderstandings, Swift added:


“It’s an important lesson for anyone to learn in 2015.”



Overall, though, Swift has gotten pretty good at smoothing things over with one-time rivals.


Consider how far she has come with Kanye West, who notoriously interrupted her speech at the 2009 VMAs to say she won a trophy that ought to have gone to Beyonce.


“Me and Kanye are on such good terms now,” Swift said, explaining that she had dinner with the rapper a week after the Grammy Awards this year.


We assume she sent him a text message about where to meet up.
