Look what you made her do! In this case, it’s revisiting one in every of her longtime feuds.
Taylor Swift was named TIME’s Person of the Year and gave an interview speaking about EVERYTHING! And not simply what’s present, like her romance with Travis Kelce. No, she even touched on her nasty feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. And she didn’t mince her phrases when speaking in regards to the 43-year-old actuality star’s function within the drama!
For those that want a refresher, Kimmy Kakes ended up getting in the course of Taylor and Kanye’s longtime feud in 2016. The rapper launched a track referred to as Famous, on which he rapped the degrading lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why?

In explicit, the Anti-Hero artist stated on the time she was by no means accepted him calling her a “bitch.”

But Kim insisted the singer was mendacity and HAD consented to the lyrics – even releasing a now-infamous telephone name between Kanye and Taylor that appeared to point the pop star had been on board with the track. Public opinion turned in opposition to the Grammy winner, with everybody calling her a liar and referring to her with the snake emoji. Due to all the net backlash, Taylor went into hiding. But she didn’t let the scandal preserve her down. She re-emerged the next yr along with her album Reputation, which made a number of references to the feud.
And finally, the total, unedited dialog from the telephone got here out and vindicated Taylor’s model of occasions. See, it turned out the decision Kim had launched (which she knew to report for some motive — bizarre) was edited to depart out necessary context, like precisely what Tay was consenting to.
Now years after the ordeal, Taylor is trying again on that “hard” time of what felt like “a career death” to her. Speaking with TIME, the 33-year-old didn’t maintain again whereas slamming Kim for the half she performed within the “fully manufactured frame job.” The beloved songwriter recalled:
“Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me. 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.”
And sadly it labored for some time. The on-line hate took a large toll on Taylor’s psychological well being — to the purpose the place she was even terrified to hop on a telephone name anymore:
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. 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.”
Oof. And it didn’t get simpler for her, even after a year-long hiatus. When Reputation confronted skepticism from the general public on the time, all Taylor may take into consideration was how “that moment of backlash was going to define me negatively for the rest of my life.” But flash ahead to 2023, her largest fears didn’t come to go. People discovered the reality, like they normally do. And Ye is the one hiding out abroad now — whereas it’s secure to say Taylor is on the high of her recreation!
Wow! We surprise what Kim should say about Taylor’s call-out! She more than likely needs this story would simply die down all these years later. But as was as soon as stated in Bad Blood, you forgive, you neglect, however you by no means let it go — and Taylor clearly won’t ever let the drama go. No one would blame her for what she needed to take care of again then! And with the extremely anticipated launch of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), one thing Taylor teased as having some “fire” vault tracks, Kim is simply going to must face the music with the entire feud chatter some extra!
