Camilla Belle slammed her old nemesis Taylor Swift during the Twitter feud too
I’m sorry for all the catch-up posts having to do with the Taylor Swift-Nicki Minaj drama. The whole thing has provided us with a week’s worth of solid gossip, a mainstream backlash against arguably the most popular singer in America, and what will become waves of damage control from Team Swifty for weeks, perhaps even months, to come. There were also so many stories within just a 72 hour period that I’m still playing catch-up as to the extent of the fallout.
For what it’s worth, I think Swifty absolutely did the right thing by apologizing to Nicki Minaj and I applaud Swifty for the depth of her apology. It wasn’t simply an apology – it was an acknowledgment by Swifty that she had completely misread the situation and misunderstood the argument Minaj was making. In the wake of Swifty’s apology, we are perhaps supposed to forget that Katy Perry rather brilliantly angled herself into the situation and finally threw a punch against her nemesis, Taylor Swift.
But what many of us forgot was that Katy wasn’t always Taylor Swift’s #1 Nemesis. Remember when Taylor used to have a major hate-on for Camilla Belle? Camilla “stole” Joe Jonas away from Swifty. Except I never really believed that’s what happened – I think Joe Jonas was “dating” Swifty and he dumped her over the phone and then he started up with Camilla Belle. Maybe it happened too quickly, maybe Taylor didn’t know that she was facing a lifetime of being dumped on the phone, I don’t know. But Taylor really went after Camilla, lyrically and socially. So when Katy Perry stepped into Taylor and Nicki’s grudge match, Camilla saw her opportunity too. First she retweeted Katy’s tweet, then this happened:
@katyperry Couldn't have said it better…

What’s funny – in a minor way – is that Camilla really could have said it BETTER because Katy’s original tweet might have been a brilliant strategic move, but it was an inarticulate mess. But if Camilla wants to spill the tea, let’s spill the tea, girl.
So there you go… Taylor’s enemies are coming for her. What’s her next move? More deflections to her boyfriend? And what if that falls apart? Because you know it will.
