Swifties recently shared a clip on social media in solidarity with Kate, countering Kim Kardashian's insensitive joke directed at Princess Katherine.
Kardashian's remark about Kate's absence sparked criticism amidst ongoing speculation about the princess's whereabouts following her abdominal surgery. In response, Kim posted photos of herself with a caption implying she was searching for Kate, wearing a tour t-shirt from the Up and Smoke tour, a legendary hip-hop event from 2000.
The timing of Kim's post coincided with Prince Harry's skiing trip to Aspen, leading to further scrutiny. Fans expressed outrage at Kim's caption, highlighting Kate's dignified silence and contrasting it with Kardashian's perceived insensitivity.
The backlash extended beyond Kim Kardashian, with Blake Lively joining in with a mocking photo tagged #KateGate, part of a broader campaign against Katherine. However, it's speculated that both Kardashian and Lively, represented by WME, are acting under the agency's direction to support Meghan Markle, due to her connection with the royal family.
Despite Harry and Meghan's distance from royal duties, the Kardashian-Jenner clan's interest in them persists, driven by their royal ties. This interest dates back to previous attempts by Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, to associate themselves with Catherine, including sending free dresses and seeking invitations to royal events, which were rebuffed.
The situation has caught the attention of Taylor Swift's fans, known as Swifties, who have a long-standing allegiance to Princess Katherine. A viral clip surfaced on Instagram, depicting Swifties dedicating the song "I Know Places" to the Princess of Wales during a Taylor Swift-themed event.
The lyrics resonated with the media scrutiny Katherine faces, symbolizing solidarity with her struggles. Taylor Swift's vocal support for Katherine is seen as a heartfelt gesture, utilizing her influence to advocate for the princess in the face of adversity.
