All these years later, the feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West doesn’t seem to be over just yet.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane for a moment…
Back in 2009, Kanye interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.
It was a disrespectful moment, and it left Taylor feeling hurt and betrayed.
Controversy over Kanye’s 2016 song
Fast forward to 2016, when Kanye released his song Famous which included derogatory lyrics about Taylor.
However, Kanye claimed that he had received permission from Taylor to use those lyrics, which she vehemently denied.
Enter Kim Kardashian.
She is obviously no stranger to controversy.
Kim involved herself in the drama
Kim has often been criticized for her provocative behavior and self-promotion, and this drama with Taylor only added fuel to the fire.
Many people saw Kim’s involvement as a calculated move to further tarnish Taylor’s reputation and elevate her own status.
In an attempt to defend her husband, Kim released a phone call between Kanye and Taylor on Snapchat.
She claimed that the call proved Taylor had indeed given her consent for the lyrics.
In the years since the feud first erupted, both Taylor and Kim have attempted to move on from the drama.
Taylor released her album Reputation, which addressed the fallout from the feud with songs like Look What You Made Me Do.
Kim, on the other hand, has focused on expanding her business empire and raising her family. However, it seems that this feud will always be a part of their history. But now, years later, Taylor is publicly calling out Kim for manipulating the truth.
Taylor blames Kim for leaving the country
“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Taylor told TIME magazine.
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.”
She even claimed to have left the U.S. because of the scrutiny she received over it. “I moved to a foreign country,” Taylor added.
“I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
“Make no mistake—my career was taken away from me.”
Taylor partially addressed the situation on social media in the past. She wrote a lengthy post explaining how she was framed and manipulated by Kanye and Kim.
She emphasized that she never gave her approval for the “b****” line in Kanye’s song, despite what the phone call may have implied.
The internet has been buzzing with reactions to this bombshell interview. Fans of Taylor Swift are rallying behind her, praising her for standing up for herself and calling out the lies.
They’re proud that she finally has the opportunity to share her side of the story and expose the truth behind the infamous phone call.
The drama continues…
Now, there’s even more drama surfacing between the two following Super Bowl weekend.
According to one former NFL star, Kanye West wanted to upstage Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl, but Taylor ruined his plan.
Brandon Marshall made the shocking allegation on his Paper Route podcast this week
The retired baller claimed that he heard Ye purposely purchased seats right in front of Taylor’s suite for the Big Game.
According to Marshall’s story, the idea was to photobomb all of Swift’s TV appearances during the game.
The ex-All-Pro receiver went on to claim the alleged scheme never came to fruition because Swift made “a call or two” to have Ye kicked out of Allegiant Stadium entirely.
But, according to Kanye, that’s far from the truth
The rapper is denying Marshall’s claims about his Super Bowl plan.
“This is a completely fabricated rumor,” a rep for Kanye told TMZ. “It is not true.”
So, maybe the beef between the two is finally over after all?
