The power of the masses, specifically social media gets stronger by the day. Not even Kim Kardashian can help but conform to its whims.
Last Saturday, Taylor Swift caused the internet to implode after revealing a countdown clock on her website and social media, hinting that new music is coming on April 26.
Since then, she’s been sharing daily cryptic Instagram posts and fans are, quite frankly, shook.
However, two days after Taylor began her countdown, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner announced that they were launching a perfume together.
Kim shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself and Kylie with the perfume bottles, alongside a caption containing one very important detail: “KKW FRAGRANCE X KYLIE launching 4/26 at NOON on kkwfragrance.com .”
That’s right — Kylie and Kim were planning to launch their fragrance on the same day that Taylor might be releasing the lead single from her seventh album.
Needless to say, people noticed and began speculating that Kim had deliberately selected the same date in order to ~reignite her feud~ with Taylor, and accused her of doing it for attention.
For anyone who’s somehow unaware, Kim and Taylor fell out in a big way in 2016 over the release of Kanye West’s track, “Famous.”
A day later, Kim and Kylie pulled the promotional posts from their Instagram pages and images of the fragrance were also wiped from KKW Fragrance’s Instagram account.
And now, in an interesting update, Kim has revealed that she and Kylie are delaying the release of the fragrance.
Taking to Twitter and her Instagram Story, Kim explained that some of the bottles “did not pass durability tests while on the assembly line,” and said that neither she nor Kylie wanted to release a product of poor quality.
Kim concluded: “We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we have a new launch date!”
And also, let’s not forget that there’s another very important release happening on April 26.
