By now you're well aware that Taylor Swift released her new single, "Look What You Made Me Do" [1] on Thursday night. While the song itself is getting some mixed reactions from fans [2] on social media, it only took Nicki Minaj about 40 minutes to let her feelings be known via Twitter.
Nigga sit down. Be humble
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) August 25, 2017 [3]
Yes, OK, perhaps Nicki was just taking the time to share her love of Kendrick Lamar's "Humble," but it's more likely that she was responding to Taylor's late-night return to the music industry [4]. Nicki and Taylor famously got into it back in 2015 after the "Bad Blood" singer inserted herself into Nicki's narrative [5] about "Anaconda" not receiving a nomination and accusing MTV of only rewarding videos that "celebrate women with very slim bodies." The two later made up on stage at the show [6], but seeing as Nicki popped up on Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" (which is directed at Taylor [7]), it's pretty obvious that she's chosen a side.
