Taylor Swift just called out Kim Kardashian over that infamous Kanye West phone call!
Their feud isn’t over yet
Fans have already reacted on social media, standing firmly behind their idol, saying it’s about time Taylor spoke up about this whole situation.
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.
People have been reacting on social media
On the other hand, there are some who are skeptical of Taylor’s claims and believe that she’s just trying to play the victim.
They argue that she should have addressed this issue years ago when it first happened instead of waiting until now.
However, Taylor’s supporters argue that she was silenced and vilified at the time, leaving her no choice but to stay quiet.
No matter which side you’re on, there’s no denying that this is a major moment in pop culture history.
The feud between Taylor, Kim, and Kanye has been going on for years, and it seems like we’re finally getting some closure.
