Well, would you look at this: The Kanye West and Taylor Swift saga has gotten a whole lot more interesting, thanks to ~explosive~ new video evidence unleashed by Kim Kardashian on Snapchat.
The rollercoaster ride that is the West & Swift extravaganza dates back to the MTV VMAs in 2009, where Yeezy famously interrupted her award speech and created one of the most polarising television moments in recent history. Since then, the two seemed to patch things up – attending public dinners and even introducing each other at subsequent award shows. That all took a turn for the worse when West released ‘Famous’ earlier this year, rapping “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.”
The line caused an online kerfuffle and became the biggest talking point of The Life of Pablo. Swift responded at the Grammys by saying that “There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” with a not-so-subtle reference to the lyrics. She was also reportedly ‘furious’ after a naked model in her likeness was used in the music video. Throughout this whole time, Kardashian has insisted that Swift not only knew about the lyric, but encouraged it. Now, she’s unveiled the evidence.
In a grainy video posted to her Snapchat account, Kardashian films West on speaker phone with Swift, seeking approval for the song’s lyrics. Swift approves the line and even says she appreciates West calling her before the song was released:

Now, Swift has responded saying that she didn’t hear the entire song and objects to West referring to her as ‘that bitch’:
We’ll see this whole shit storm plays out, but we should at least get a few good songs out of it.
