Fans of Taylor Swift, known as Swifties, have criticized Sabrina Carpenter's recent partnership with Kim Kardashian.
Over the weekend, a Spring campaign featuring Sabrina modeling the Skims brand by Kim Kardashian was released, making her the newest celebrity to do so. Her appearance in the campaign was hot and enticing.
However, Sabrina's modeling gig has received mixed reactions, as some fans are questioning whether her touring companion and friend, Taylor Swift, is supportive of her collaboration with Kim, who is viewed as a competitor.
For quite some time now, Taylor and Kim have been embroiled in a serious conflict that dates back to 2016. An up-and-coming talent by the name of Sabrina happens to be one of Taylor's closest confidants, frequently serving as a supporting act during various legs of her Eras tour.
The fans of Taylor Swift, known as Swifties, have criticized Sabrina Carpenter for working with Kim Kardashian in promoting Skims, her clothing line.
For a considerable amount of time, Taylor and Kim have been caught up in a heated argument. Sabrina, a promising artist, is a dear companion of Taylor's, who accompanied her on various occasions during her Eras tour, which also included Kim in 2015.
Someone left a comment on Kim's Instagram post promoting the Sabrina shoot, stating, "This crossover between Kim and Taylor Swift fans is unexpected," while another said, "It's as if the fandoms of Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have collided."
Someone else posted on Twitter: 'It is interesting to see her performing as the opening act for Taylor Swift and then working with Kim Kardashian.'
However, supporters brought up the fact that "everything is about making money" and Taylor's other intimate companions such as Selena Gomez have previously collaborated with Skims.
According to a tweet from a supporter, it seems that Taylor Swift should not have any issue with Selena and Lana promoting Kim's brand, or Gigi Hadid befriending the Kardashians, therefore she should not have any problem with Sabrina too. The supporter further added that Taylor is an adult and mature woman, in contrast to her fans who are just trying to find an excuse to cancel Sabrina again.
The argument between Taylor and Kim first started in 2016 after Kim shared a taped phone conversation where Taylor supposedly allowed her ex-husband Kanye West to use crude language about her in his song.
Ever since the controversy between the two celebrities, they have thrown multiple insults and allusions at each other. Taylor, in her album Reputation released in 2017, focused on attacking the other star.
In December of 2023, there was a new update regarding the ongoing conflict between Taylor and Kim. During an interview, Taylor stated that this situation had a severe negative impact on her mental health and caused her to go into hiding. She then proceeded to label both Kim and her ex-husband Kanye as undesirable individuals.
Kim has been praised by numerous fans for her marketing abilities as she chose Sabrina to be the face of her newest campaign. They have referred to her as a "genius" in this field.
Supporters have posed the question of whether or not Sabrina's acquaintance Taylor is in favor of the collaboration with her adversary.
However, some individuals have highlighted that 'everything is about making money', and Taylor's other intimate companions, such as Selena Gomez, have presently collaborated with Skims.
The photos show Sabrina, a 24-year-old woman, spending time in her bedroom that is filled with books and adorned with posters of famous people. She is having a conversation with a buddy using a non-mobile phone and enjoying music on her compact disc player.
Sabrina shared photos on her Instagram and added the words, 'Hey there! It's Sabrina, your go-to gal for spring @skims fashion.' She also included emojis like hearts, a cherry, and a hatching bird. 'Head to skims.com to grab the latest 4.03 spring intimates collection.'
Kim was full of admiration and enthusiasm when talking about Sabrina's abilities. According to her, Sabrina is not just skilled in music, but she also possesses a keen eye for fashion and an innate quality that deeply connects with the young people of today.
She added, 'It is the perfect timing for her to be featured in a Skims ad campaign, especially with her soon-to-be performance at Coachella. Her vibrant personality and unique fashion sense bring a fresh perspective to these collections, making the campaign really enjoyable!'
