Kardashian, 45, is said to be “hurt but unsurprised.”
A Hollywood insider close to Kim’s circle said: “Kim had hoped the tension would fade with time. She genuinely respects Taylor’s achievements and was ready to let the past go. Still, she gets why Taylor wants to keep her distance and protect her own peace.”
But tensions have resurfaced in recent months after it emerged Swift’s new album Life Of A Showgirl included the song Cancelled!, which fans speculated referenced her fallout with several former friends.
The singer has never confirmed the link, but her lyrics about “snakes in designer heels” reignited speculation about old betrayals.
Swift’s close friends such as Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez are expected to attend her wedding, but doubts remain over whether Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds – once among Swift’s closest confidantes – will make the cut.
Insiders insist Swift’s focus when it comes to her wedding remains firmly on joy rather than grudges.
“Taylor’s happy, confident, and setting her own boundaries,” said a music industry insider. “Her wedding is all about love and trust – she just wants positive energy around her. After everything she’s been through, she’s entitled to decide who’s in and who’s out.”
