Diplo might have ended his feud with Taylor Swift, but he may well have angered her fans after comments made in a new interview.

The Major Lazer producer compared the popstar's fandom - who affectionately call themselves 'Swifties' - to that of the organised military forces of Kim Jong-un.

'It's like an army that's worse than North Korea,' Diplo, 36, told GQStyle.

Regrets: Diplo says his feud with Taylor Swift was 'the biggest mistake of his career' in the new issue of GQ Style

'All I know is don't ever get into a feud with Taylor Swift. She has like 50 million people that will die for her.

'You can't step into that arena. That was something I was never prepared for ... one of the biggest mistakes of my career was definitely f***ing with her.'

The 36-year-old DJ encountered the wrath of the singer's supporters in November when he called on his fans to start a campaign to get the Shake It Off hitmaker 'a booty'.

Diplo was dating Katy Perry at the time, and many saw his comments as further proof that the two pop stars are sworn enemies.

Taylor didn't respond to the tweet, but her pop star friend Lorde did, saying: 'Should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm. (sic)'

The Grammy-nominated musician mentioned Lorde in the interview: 'I can go head-to-head with anybody. I don't care who you are. I didn't go after Lorde because she's my friend and she's a young girl and the one person I kept it cool with.'

And in an interview published last month, Diplo said: 'Taylor Swift is very strategic with her friends and enemies. And I know lots of secrets. I can't divulge, but I know a lot of stuff about her. And I'm scared. I'm scared for my life.'

New: The interview appears in the latest issue of GQ Style

Taylor and Diplo made amends at the Grammy Awards this year and he made sure to get a photo with her to prove it.

His ex Katy and Taylor have a well-documented rift, with the latter's track Bad Blood from her best-selling album 1989 thought to be about the former.

However, Swift told The Telegraph: 'I’m never going to talk about her in my interview. It’s not going to happen.'

The feud between the singers ignited when three of Taylor's dancers quit to go work for Katy.

Taylor told Rolling Stone: 'For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not.

'She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, "Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?"

'Then last year, the other star crossed a line. She did something so horrible, I was like, "Oh, we're just straight-up enemies." And it wasn't even about a guy!

'It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.'
