All’s well that ends well.
It was like watching a tennis game on Twitter on Tuesday evening as Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift let their true feelings show on the social media site.
Nicki kicked things off by taking to the social media site to show frustration that she had been snubbed for a VMA nomination for Video of The Year.
If I was a different “kind” of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well.

U couldn’t go on social media w/o seeing ppl doing the cover art, choreo, outfits for Halloween…an impact like that & no VOTY nomination? — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015
It seemed to many that she also appeared to be getting a dig at Taylor Swift, whose video Bad Blood earned a nomination, by stating: “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.”

Taylor did not take the dig lightly though and responded almost immediately.
@NICKIMINAJ I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.. — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 21, 2015
With fans riveted, Nicki responded that the tweet had not in fact been aimed at Taylor at all.
Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015
She later added that she was “confused” about the reason Taylor had tweeted her.
@taylorswift13 I’m still confused as to why u just tweeted me when I made it abundantly clear… pic.twitter.com/A5kJyi6fQC — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015
Minaj then hit out at reports that she had been targeting Taylor in her first tweet, before Taylor tried to amend things by adding:
@NICKIMINAJ If I win, please come up with me!! You’re invited to any stage I’m ever on.
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 21, 2015
Aw, how sweet.
Taylor has been nominated for nine awards at the VMAs, seven for Bad Blood and two for Blank Space.
Elsewhere, Taylor’s bestie Ed Sheeran was nominated for six awards, with Beyoncé bagging five nominations.
It was announced on Tuesday that Miley Cyrus will host the event which will take place on August 30th in LA.
