UPDATE TIME: They've reached an accord!
AND Nicki's thanked Katy Perry for stepping in:
Phew!
Taylor Swift has reached out an olive branch to Nicki Minaj after getting confused by a tweet the rapper posted about the MTV VMAs.
The Bad Blood singer has now apologised after getting the wrong end of the stick and thinking Nicki was singling her out for criticism.
She wrote:
It all started yesterday when Nicki pointed out she hadn’t been nominated for the Video Of The Year award by the VMAs, with Anaconda bagging just two nominations compared to Tay’s nine.
“If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well,” she wrote.
...then she dragged RIHANNA into it, for no reason whatsoevs:
Nicki has been trying to get her point across ever since yesterday, retweeting posts from fans that point out how racial issues are still in play within the music industry.
Whatever happens next, we reckon the two of them have just notched up the number of potential viewers when the VMAs air on August 30.

Taylor's skirt looks like it has weird purple ivy all over it and that corset created a strange mono-boob.
