“She knew exactly what she was doing. This lady said, 'She was famous back then' (and) also said, 'I don't know who sees this.' (And) it was very tasteless and inappropriate,” Taylor continued.

“Most importantly, she knew people would dig.”

Although Nicole deleted the post showing off her Halloween costume, there are still photos online of the fitness influencer dressed as Taylor from Kanye West's 2016 music video “Fade.”

“I recognize, as does the world, that her intentions were evil and petty,” the mother of two added.

Taylor then accused Nicole of “pulling the black card when it came to Taylor Swift” and turning around and bullying her, a fellow Black woman.

She even claimed she “showed love” in Nicole's Halloween costume post a decade ago without being aware of the intent.

“The entire time I didn’t even know she was shady,” Taylor wrote. “Now I do.”

“So in this case, wear little panties. “I had my little fun, I said what I said and now I’m done and I’ve gone back to the set,” she concluded.

Nicole seemingly responded to Taylor's negative reaction on Friday night. Write“Sometimes I am asked about my personal life and I choose to share the lessons I have learned.

“To repeat what I said in the hour-long interview: learn from my mistakes. If you had seen the film in its entirety you would know that I do not approve of the “crazy” decision I made literally 10 YEARS AGO.”
