A news entitled “Katy Perry and Taylor Swift officially bury the hatchet†is an object that is worth studying in the light of cognitive semantics, especially the metaphors employed. The metaphors are compiled and classified into their types. From the metaphors obtained, the image schemas employed to understand the metaphors are explicated.
