According to the Daily Mail, Swift doesn't care about Eilish's alleged attempt to provoke her with subtle shades in recent weeks.

"Taylor is unbothered by Billie's continued subtle jabs because she is too busy selling out stadiums and traveling the world," a source told the news outlet.

They claim that Swift feels that Eilish "may have something against her" and believes it could stem from the "Ocean Eyes" singer being envious of her success in the industry.

According to the insider, Eilish taking swipes at Swift contradicted her proclaimed stance of being someone who loves empowering women.

They added, "Billie should really focus on her own album and promoting that instead of trying to tear down another female artist. She claims to be so about female empowerment but does not walk the walk."

One of the alleged jabs aimed at Swift reportedly occurred when Eilish appeared on Stationhead to promote her album "Hit Me Hard and Soft."

During the interview, Eilish criticized artists who put on lengthy shows, describing it as "psychotic."

While she did not directly reference Swift, Eilish remarked, "My favorite artist in the world, I'm not trying to hear them for three hours," which many believed was a jab at the "Style" singer's Eras Tour shows that average three hours and 15 minutes.

Eilish had also previously criticized artists for releasing multiple editions of their albums on vinyl, a practice Swift has often embraced. She described this as "wasteful" and expressed frustration that such artists are not concerned about the environmental impact.

Recently, a source close to Eilish said that the speculations that Eilish was shading Swift in her recent remarks were a case of the former weaponizing her fans against her peers.

In the meantime, Swift has yet to make any statement to address the rumors of the feud between her and Eilish.

The singer is currently on the road in Europe, with one of her most recent stops being the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland.

During one of the shows held at the location, the singer paused midway while strumming her guitar and called for help when she saw a concert-goer in distress.

"We need help right in front of me, please, right in front of me," Swift could be seen saying in a now-viral video taken from the concert, per HuffPost. "Just gonna keep playing until we notice where it is."

When it appeared that the aid was taking too long to arrive, she used her guitar to help point out the audience member, an act she was later praised for on social media.
