You may want to take cover, Taylor Swift. Kendall Jenner just hurled some major shade in your direction. Several weeks after Kim Kardashian went hard after Swift, exposing the singer as a pretty huge liar, the reality star’s half-sister has swooped in and taken a somewhat less direct swipe at the famous solo artist. But let’s not kid ourselves: It’s a swipe nonetheless. In a cover story for the October issue of Allure, Jenner is asked if her group of friends has a name. This is clearly a question inspired by Swift and her “Squad” because no one had ever thought of naming one’s group of friends before Taylor came along. That’s not an insult in and of itself. It’s just the truth. So, how did Kendall respond to this question? As follows: “This is going to sound really, really lame, but we all call ourselves the Super Natural Friend Group because we all have such cool individual lives and we’ve been dreaming about them since we were so young.” Jenner is talking about a clique comprised of such other stars as Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Cara Delevingne. And she is ABSOLUTELY taking a jab at Swift with this response. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Squad Members: An Official Who’s Who! Swift, of course, has become famous for walking the red carpet with her circle of friends, along with posing on Instagram with them and talking about them incessantly. They include such famous names as Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Karlie Kloss. But what started as a fairly harmless and cute gathering of close pals has devolved into a source of mockery. Jenner refers to her friends as “Natural” in the above quote because some believe Swift’s group is anything but; it can come across as contrived and PR-driven. Swift has been accused of acting like a diva and controlling everyone’s plans and lives; which, again, relates to Jenner’s commentary on how she and her friends are all about the “individual.” Kendall is selling herself here as the anti-Taylor Swift, as someone who is on equal footing with her other, very successful cohorts. This is supposedly in contrast with Swift, someone who she thinks stands on a soapbox over her so-called friends and bosses them around. Are we reading too much into a seemingly simple answer from Kendall Jenner? No. We are not. Because there’s no way they actually call themselves the Super Natural Friend Group.

When describing the kind of friend she is, Jenner mentioned her astrological symbol and told Allure: “I’m a Scorpio, so I stick to people. If I love you, I love you. If I don’t like you, you’re screwed.” Taylor Swift disses aside, here’s what we really want to know: Is Kendall dating A$AP Rocky?!? Also unlike Swift, Jenner isn’t about to get into detail about her personal life. “I just – my personal life, I’m so young,” she says. “Whoever I’m dating, or going to be dating, is young, too. So I don’t think it’s figured out. Do you know what I mean? So if I don’t know what it is, I’d rather not let everyone else know.” That is a very mature, reasonable answer. It is also a very boring one. How can we turn that into a controversial celebrity gossip story?
