Taylor Swift reveals Jay Z played the peacemaker in ending bitter rift between her and Kanye West
Taylor Swift says Jay Z was responsible for her feud with Kanye West coming to an end.
The two musicians have a chequered history with Kanye infamously interrupting her acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to insist Beyonce should have won the accolade.
However, Taylor, 25, has revealed she and Kanye were able to reconcile their differences thanks to mutual friend Jay Z - who is Beyonce's husband - who was determined for them to start afresh.

Healing: Taylor Swift revealed to Vanity Fair that she and Kanye were able to reconcile their differences thanks to mutual friend Jay Z - who is Beyonce's husband - who was determined for them to start afresh
Speaking to the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she said: 'I feel like I wasn't ready to be friends with (Kanye) until I felt like he had some sort of respect for me, and he wasn't ready to be friends with me until he had some sort of respect for me - so it was the same issue, and we both reached the same place at the same time.
'I became friends with Jay Z, and I think it was important, for Jay Z, for Kanye and I to get along ... And then Kanye and I both reached a place where he would say really nice things about my music and what I've accomplished, and I could ask him how his kid's doing.'
Although Taylor and Kanye - who has daughter North with his wife Kim Kardashian West - have only recently become pals, the Style hitmaker has a very close group of friends who she can always rely on.

The 25-year-old singer counts Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez as her best pals and insists nothing will ever come between them all, especially a guy.
Taylor - who is dating Calvin Harris - told the publication: 'We even have girls in our group who have dated the same people. It's almost like the sisterhood has such a higher place on the list of priorities for us. It's so much more important than some guy that it didn't work out with.
'When you've got this group of girls who need each other as much as we need each other, in this climate, when it's so hard for women to be understood and portrayed the right way in the media ... now, more than ever.
'We need to be good and kind to each other and not judge each other - and just because you have the same taste in men, we don't hold that against each other.'
The star also told the publication she always carries birthday cards in her purse because you 'never know' when you might run into someone and it's their birthday.
In a short video she's asked to play word association - candidly saying the word 'terror' when shown 'Awards Ceremony'.

Parade your pins like Emma in denim Ksubi shorts
If we had to pick one summer staple that we simply could not live without, it'd have to be the denim short. They've been anchoring all our hottest looks for centuries now, but it's easy to see why- they're just so timeless and versatile.
Here we have actress Emma Watson who is providing us with off-duty style inspiration as she enjoys the British Summertime Festival in a pair of Ksubi shorts, a striped top and studded Chloe Suzannah boots.
We love the frayed trim of the shorts, Ksubi have an innate knack of looking worn-in and distressed to just the right degree. You can get yours today by clicking right to Revolve Clothing now or, shop the look for less below. We'll be teaming ours with a slinky cami and gladiator sandals for a chic finish.
