(Photo by Kevin Mazur/MTV1415/WireImage) Kevin Mazur/MTV1415—WireImage  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jul 22, 2016 3:07 PM UTC In case you thought that [this week’s political ruckus](http://time.com/4415378/meredith-mciver-donald-trump-speech/) could dampen the flames on the [celebrity feud of the century](http://time.com/4410370/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west/), think again. [The Taylor Swift-Kanye West-Kim Kardashian West feud](http://time.com/4411055/kanye-west-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/) is still popping, thanks to [more unsolicited commentary from other famous people](http://time.com/4414858/ruby-rose-khloe-kardashian-feud/). While [most of Taylor Swift’s squad has already let their feelings be known](http://time.com/4410615/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-celebrities/) and Kim’s kamp has shown full support for their kween, an unexpected commentator has entered the fray: Fergie. [The Dutchess](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5FDutchess) hinted during an interview on Australia’s [_Kyle and Jackie O Show_](https://twitter.com/kyleandjackieo/status/756260819684384769) that the feud might simply be a publicity stunt. “Knowing them it’s probably a big master plan,” she said. “They’ll probably all come together at the MTV Awards or something.” We should all be so lucky, Fergie. The rapper did, however, put herself squarely on Team Kim [with another comment ](https://twitter.com/kyleandjackieo/status/756260628394758144)about the reality celebutante, who was featured prominently in her racy “M.I.L.F.” video. “Kim’s so cool, you’ve gotta respect her sticking up for her husband.” Indeed. Another day, another dispatch from the front lines of the Taylor Swift – Kimye feud. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4418983/fergie-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4418983/fergie-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/"},"headline":"Fergie Weighs In On the Taylor Swift-Kimye Feud","datePublished":"2016-07-22T15:07:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:41.198Z","description":"Guess which team Fergie's going to bat for?","url":"https://time.com/4418983/fergie-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Taylor Swift","celebrity","Kim Kardashian","kim kardashian west"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5a3dd1bfff542ca7/69889ecbab6d773e056aa929/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-fergie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5a3dd1bfff542ca7/69889ecbab6d773e056aa929/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-fergie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Backstage","caption":"2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Backstage","creditText":"Kevin Mazur/MTV1415—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4418983/fergie-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/","name":"Fergie Weighs In On the Taylor Swift-Kimye Feud"}}]}] ```
