Taylor Swift's recent feud with Billie Eilish has captured the attention of Kim Kardashian, who appears eager to join forces against the country superstar with a show of mutual support. In other words, the reality star is secretly pleased that there's another person who is allegedly at odds with the world's sweetheart.

"Kim and Billie have been quietly connecting for a while, she's a huge fan of her music and got introduced to her through Justin Bieber," a source exclusively tells Life & Style. "As soon as Kim heard about this dust up with Taylor she called Billie to offer support and commiserate."

Rumors of tension between the pop icons surfaced in March when Eilish, 22, criticized artists releasing multiple vinyl variants, which some interpreted as a dig at Swift, 34.

Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department has maintained a strong hold with 20 variants since its release on April 19, consistently topping the charts.

In May, Eilish called the idea of a three-hour concert "psychotic," a statement some viewed as indirect shade towards Swift, known for her lengthy performances. Insiders close to Eilish clarified that she seeks no public feud with Swift but has faced undue online backlash from Swift's massive fan base.

The SKIMS founder, 43, known for her rocky history with Swift, reportedly feels "secretly thrilled" about the feud. According to the source, Kardashian sees this as proof that Swift isn't the flawless figure many perceive her to be.

"It just proves that Taylor is really a bully and not this perfect angel most people say she is," the source explained.

Kardashian previously praised Eilish in 2021 for featuring SKIMS in her "Lost Cause" music video, showcasing her supportive stance.

"Kim loves to stir the pot with Taylor. She's kept quiet lately because she was scared of earning the wrath of her fans but if she can get Billie to fight this battle with her it would be a different story. She'd have one of the most popular and hottest artists on her side," the source explained.

"Kim isn't trying to pressure Billie or come on too strong but she's absolutely got a plan in the works and sees this whole situation as her ticket to getting the last laugh," the source added.

As most would know, the feud between Kardashian and Swift traces back nearly a decade to Kanye West's infamous interruption of Swift's 2009 VMAs acceptance speech. Then, Swift publicly objected to being labeled in Kanye's lyric "I made that bitch famous," leading Kardashian to release an audio recording of Swift allegedly approving the lyric. Swift said the audio was altered.

Meanwhile, it is said that Swift views Eilish as no competition. On the one hand, some said Swift is jealous of Eilish but some insiders it is the other way around. Both artists however have not directly said anything about the feud.
