Sorry for the Friday evening news dump, but I’m being told that this is major. Ivanka Trump shared an Instagram post in honor of her daughter, Arabella, celebrating her 13th birthday. That’s not the major news. In the photo carousel, there were a couple pics of Arabella’s cake, which was a replica of the cake from Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” video, blood and all. This is also not the major news. The major news, according to the tabloids, is that Kim Kardashian (a canonical Swift nemesis) commented on it.
These women do not like each other, so the idea of Kardashian engaging in anything even remotely Swift-related is a three-alarm fire on a slow news day. Don’t take it from me, though, let’s look at the headlines:
“Kim Kardashian reacts as Ivanka Trump showcases daughter Arabella’s Taylor Swift-inspired birthday cake” — “Page Six”
“Kim Kardashian Reacts After Ivanka Trump Celebrates Daughter’s 13th Birthday With Taylor Swift Cake” — E! Online
“Ivanka Trump, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and the World’s Most Layered Birthday Cake” — Vanity Fair
“KIM KARDASHIAN OLIVE BRANCH TO TAYLOR SWIFT???” — TMZ
So, what did Kardashian comment? Based on the headlines, it must have been something like, “Wow, love these pics! I love the ‘Blank Space’ cake, my favorite song from 1989 is actually ‘Wildest Dreams,’ but there’s no cake in that video! Haha! Can’t wait for our Eras show in August!”
In reality, Kardashian wrote, “Happy Birthday Arabella 🤍🩷.” Finally, peace.
