Lewis Hamilton's F1 win brings up Kim Kardashian vs Taylor Swift rivarly: ‘I think I have…’
The long-running tension between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift has remained one of the most widely discussed celebrity conflicts
The long-running tension between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift has remained one of the most widely discussed celebrity conflicts of the past decade. However, Kardashian recently revisited the topic and offered a more reflective perspective on the dispute. Kardashian's comments came up after her alleged romantic interest, Lewis Hamilton, got on to the podium in Shanghai.
Kim Kardashian reflects on Taylor Swift feud
The feud traces back to Kardashian’s former marriage to rapper Kanye West, whose public clash with Swift in the mid-2010s sparked years of back-and-forth between the two camps.
While the controversy simmered for years, Kardashian largely avoided revisiting it publicly - until earlier this year.
In January 2026, Kardashian spoke about Swift during an appearance on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloe in Wonder Land. During the conversation, Kardashian acknowledged Swift’s musical talent while suggesting that time has softened the tension between them.
“I think I’ve said it. I have some of her older songs in my playlist. I’ve always thought she’s like a super talented, great artist.”
Kardashian’s new relationship link
Kardashian’s comments have resurfaced as attention grows around her reported romance with Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, who himself has had several feuds with other drivers.
Hamilton’s competitive relationships with drivers such as Max Verstappen, George Russell and others have often been closely followed by fans. With Kardashian now linked to the Ferrari driver, some social media users drew parallels between celebrity disputes and the high-stakes rivalries that define Formula 1.
Hamilton ‘incredibly grateful’ to Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton, after his third-place finish at the Chinese Grand Prix, said he is grateful to Ferrari for letting him guide the development of the car.
“To see them listen and put some of those things that I’d asked for on the car I’m just incredibly grateful to them for listening on that side of things," Hamilton said.
"It just makes you feel more united with everyone because you’re moving in the same direction. I’m looking forward to getting back next week to (Ferrari HQ in) Maranello and seeing everybody. Big, big push.”
Hamilton’s first year with Ferrari was full of frustration as he and the team failed to get to grips with a car that was very sensitive to setup changes, except for a sprint race win in China a year ago. Ferrari failed to win a single Grand Prix all year.
