No more bad blood here!
Taylor Swift stuns in black and white on the cover of Vanity Fair's September issue, where she opens up about her feud and unexpected friendship with Kanye West.
The 25-year-old reflects on that now infamous moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when the rapper stormed the stage and interrupted her as she accepted the Video of the Year award.
It took some time, but they're now in a much better place.
"I feel like I wasn't ready to be friends with [West] until I felt like he had some sort of respect for me, and he wasn't ready to be friends with me until he had some sort of respect for me," she admits. "So it was the same issue, and we both reached the same place at the same time."
But the country-turned-pop-star can't take full credit for their blossoming friendship -- it's all thanks to a surprising mutual friend the two share.
"I became friends with Jay Z, and I think it was important, for Jay Z, for Kanye and I to get along," she shares. "Kanye and I both reached a place where he would say really nice things about my music and what I've accomplished, and I could ask him how his kid's doing."
Now the 38-year-old rapper is just one of many celebs Taylor counts among her inner circle.
The songstress is famous for having a bevy of female besties, including Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid.
"We even have girls in our group who have dated the same people," Taylor says (Gigi is currently dating her ex Joe Jonas). "It's almost like the sisterhood has such a higher place on the list of priorities for us. It's so much more important than some guy that it didn't work out with."
