The internet was left agog earlier this week when Taylor Swift got her claws out after a misunderstanding with fellow pop star Nicki Minaj… but now it looks like she has finally done the unthinkable and backed down.

Taking to Twitter just a few minutes ago, Taylor offered up an apology to Nicki, saying, "I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki."

We never thought we'd see that happen, but Nicki was quick to graciously respond, saying, "Everyone makes mistakes."

That means so much Taylor, thank you. @taylorswift13

I've always loved her. Everyone makes mistakes. She gained so much more respect from me. Let's move on. https://t.co/mx9pfIdnzT

The short-lived feud kicked off on Monday night when Nicki tweeted her disappointment about not getting a VMA Best Video nomination for her song Feeling Myself. "If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well," she wrote. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

Although the tweets were more of a comment about how racial bias still prevails in the music industry, Taylor took it as a personal slight on her own video for Bad Blood.

"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.." she wrote at the time.

Since then, both Taylor's enemy Katy Perry AND her bestie Ed Sheeran have both weighed in on the messy Twitter war. With Katy accusing the Blank Space singer of "capitalizing on the takedown of a woman" and Ed defending her to the Daily Telegraph by saying she had done "nothing wrong," this feud has definitely brought about some very mixed opinions.
