Kim Kardashian may have bad blood with Taylor Swift, but her friend Allison Statter certainly doesn't.

In fact, the Blended Strategy Group CEO believes Taylor is "probably one of, if not, the greatest songwriter of our generation."

"Her music is so fantastic to me," Allison raved on the July 9 episode of the 9 to 5ish with theSkimm podcast. "Her morals and the things that she represents as it relates to women empowerment and friendship and things like that are very difficult for me."

The marketing strategist—who has been friends with Kim since childhood—added that she turns to Taylor's music for an energy boost, as well as tunes from Harry Styles, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey and Vampire Weekend.

"I kind of bounce around the female pop world," Allison shared, "and this kind of country-folk-cool vibe."

But Allison had nothing but praise for Kim, too.

"She's just a fiercely loyal and trustworthy friend," she said. "I'm very lucky for her."

Allison is part of Kim's close circle of friends dubbed "Lifers," people who the reality star has known since she was a kid.

"I have the best friends and they’re super supportive," Kim previously shared on The Kardashians. "I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, is because I have the best friends in the entire world and they mean everything to me."

As for Taylor? The singer—who fell out with Kim in 2016 and release the song "thanK you aIMee" in April as an apparent nod to their feud—has a squad of her own, which includes gal pals like Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.

"Something about 'we’re in our young twenties!' hurls people together into groups that can feel like your chosen family," Taylor wrote in a 2019 essay for Elle ahead of her 30th birthday. "And maybe they will be for the rest of your life. Or maybe they’ll just be your comrades for an important phase, but not forever."

She added, "It’s sad but sometimes when you grow, you outgrow relationships. You may leave behind friendships along the way, but you’ll always keep the memories."
