13. Taylor Swift vs. Nicki Minaj
This past July, a heated Twitter spat erupted between superstar songstresses Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj following the release of the year’s MTV Video Music Award nominations. Swift’s “Bad Blood” video was nominated, while Minaj’s “Anaconda” wasn’t. Minaj posted a series of tweets questioning why videos featuring women with slim bodies seemed to constantly be praised and Swift immediately got defensive and mistakenly assumed the posts were aimed at her. She tweeted at Minaj, saying “I’ve done nothing to but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot…” Minaj was confused, responding with “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. But u should speak on this.” Nicely done, Taylor Swift.
