Don't we all love a little bit of celebrity drama? As public fascination with celebrity and its main players' machinations has grown as the twentieth century went on, with the advent of social media, following these feuds is a tennis match of who-said, who-said.
We watch the delicious drama unfold before our eyes – from Grammys acceptance speeches to snarky paparazzi zingers – these celebrity arguments often take place in very public forums. But, sometimes good things must come to an end, and even our favorite and most salacious gossip stories close out when the duos decide to act their age and apologize.
Read on for some of the best celebrity feuds that have come to an end in very public ways.
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry had some bad blood, but Perry sent Swift an olive branch – a sign of peace – right before Swift's "Reputation" tour began.

According to one of the dancers in an interview with The Examiner, three dancers worked for Perry for nearly three years, then joined Swift's Red tour for six months, then were invited back to tour with Perry. So they did.
The incident caused an all-out war between the two pop stars, allegedly leading to songs about the incident: "Bad Blood" by Swift and "Swish Swish" by Perry.
But, after years of back-and-forth, Perry has extended a peace offering: an olive branch. Swift posted an Instagram Story on May 8 of a literal olive branch and what appears to be an apology letter. Maybe we'll get a duet sometime in the future of these two?

For all you "Real Housewives" fans out there, this one's a feud for the ages. Back in the early seasons of "New York," Frankel and Zarin were inseparable. Frankel even stayed with Zarin one summer in the Hamptons. But, when Zarin's husband Bobby had a surgery and Zarin apparently didn't detail to Frankel that Bobby actually had cancer. Frankel, according to Zrin, didn't make as much of an effort to be there for Zarin like she would've wanted, so Zarin cut Frankel out of her life.
Throughout season three, Frankel and Zarin both separately tried to make amends, but by the end of the season, there was too much damage already done.
Fast forward to January 2018, and Zarin's husband Bobby passed away. Prior to his death, he reportedly told Zarin she was wrong about how she handled her fight with Frankel. Frankel attended Bobby's funeral. She told People Now, "We used to be friends, some things happened, her husband passed away. I went, I paid my respects. We are what we are."
Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik's bromance came to an end, but then rose again. Sort of.

The producer shared a picture of himself and the former boy-bander, which caused Tomlinson to retort (indirectly) in a characteristically sassy remark: "Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha! Some people still do HA!" Tomlinson later directly replied to Naughty Boy asking how it felt to "be riding on the back of someone's else's career?"
Malik famously replied to Tomlinson, "Remember when you had a life and stopped making b----- comments about mine?"
Well, two years after it all went down, Tomlinson cleared the air about the two's fight. "We've got to a point now where, you know, we can just be really happy for each other," Tomlinson told Sirius XM. "Things have happened in the past, of course." Tomlinson then praised Malik's first single, "Pillow Talk."
