Taylor Swift Feuding With Lorde? Singers Set the Record Straight
Taylor Swift has a large group of celebrity friends, and it's typical for the "Shake it Off" singer to be photographed with one or more of them as they attend concerts, award shows, parties, or go on a vacation. The singer has always maintained that her friendships are important to her, but now, there are new reports that Swift is feuding with one of her best friends, Lorde.
A report from OK! Magazine claims that Swift is disappointed in Lorde after the New Zealand native shot down her idea to record music together.
"Lorde loves Taylor but she thinks that their voices have completely different sounds and won't mesh well together," said the magazine's source. "Taylor was pretty disappointed with her reaction."

Upon learning about the feud rumors, Swift quickly took to social media to quash them as she sent a message via Twitter on Monday, April 6 to those responsible for the reports.
The 25-year old tweeted, "Media, when you say 'Lorde & Taylor are fighting' — by fighting do you mean 'FaceTiming constantly from US to NZ and LOLing at you?' Thnx bye."
Three minutes after Swift's post, the 18-year old "Royals" singer confirmed that their friendship remains solid as she tweeted, "sisters are doin' it for themselves @taylorswift13."
Swift and Lorde have been friends since 2013 and have put their sisterhood on full display as they attended the 2014 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theater along with Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss. They've also spent time together at Swift's Rhode Island mansion, a vacation on Catalina Island, and hikes together in Los Angeles.
Back in 2014, Swift told Jimmy Fallon of her first encounter with the 18-year old, saying, "We actually met up here in New York. We had Shake Shack, which I feel like is kind of good bonding … a friendship bonds with those thick milkshakes."
