(9 May 2018) Taylor Swift referenced
her feud with Kim Kardashian and
Kanye West as she urged fans to stand up to bullies during the first night of
her Reputation Stadium Tour on Tuesday (8 May 2018).
The 28-year-old singer took to the stage at the
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to kick off her
highly-anticipated tour. And while the eight costume changes, impressive
choreography and guest appearances delighted fans, it was Taylor's decision to
address her long-running feud with Kim and Kanye that surprised audience
members the most.
Referencing the snake
images that littered the stage throughout the concert, Taylor explained:
"You might be wondering why there are so many snakes... A couple of years
ago, someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on. And then a lot
of people called me a lot of names on social media. And I went through some
really low times for a while because of it.
"I went through sometimes when I didn’t know if I
was gonna get to do this anymore and I guess the snakes - I wanted to send a
message to you guys that if someone uses name-calling to bully you on social
media and even if a lot of people jump on board with it, that doesn’t have to
beat you. It can strengthen you instead."
Taylor was first likened to a snake during her feud
with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, in which they disagreed over whether or not
the singer had co-written the Scottish DJ and Rihanna's hit This Is What You
Came For.

(11 May 2018) Carrie Underwood may
be relocating, months after her
"freak accident" outside her home.
The country star, 35, and husband Mike Fisher, who
plays for the NHL's Nashville Predators, will not be leaving the Tennessee
capital city but are "looking to move," a source told PEOPLE.
"They are completely done with the neighborhood.
The decision came after her fall," the source said, adding that security
issues also contributed to the couple's decision to house hunt. "They've
been having a lot of issues with neighbors letting people in the community to
look around and it all escalated after the fall," the source explains.
A rep for Underwood didn't immediately respond to
PEOPLE's request for comment.
After Underwood and Fisher wed in 2010, they purchased
400 acres of land in Franklin, where they built a custom estate, according to
multiple reports.
