Is Kylie Jenner a closeted Taylor Swift fan? The 21-year-old revealed on Instagram that a new lip gloss in her Valentine’s Day lip kit is named “Story of Us” and a lip liner, “Forever and Always.” It’s either a total coincidence, or Jenner was just recently listening to Swift’s seminal album Fearless.
The potentially cryptic lip kit rollout comes less than two weeks after Kim Kardashian-West declared she was “over it,” between sips of her drink on What What Happens Live—the “it” being her long-simmering beef with Swift. “I feel like we’d all moved on.” Case closed!
Did Kardashian-West clear the air for Jenner to come out as someone who likes to belt out “You Belong With Me” in the shower? Jenner could be tipping her hat to Swift for penning A+ breakup ballads, or she could have just been searching—as Swift presumably did at the time of songwriting—for phrases that invoke love, destiny, and a whirlwind romance. Except in Swift’s case, she was looking to subvert these cliches through extended metaphor, and Jenner is using them to sell makeup. Each of us contributes to the world through our own special talents. Kylie, if you do like some Taylor Swift songs, just drop another hint on Instagram—it’s fine.
