When Kanye West debuted his The Life of Pablo album, most media outlets kicked up a shitstorm about the song ‘Famous’ – more specifically, one line where he claims “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.”
The kerfuffle that has followed has been one of the more interesting spotlight sagas in recent memory. Since West’s infamous interruption of Swift back at the VMAs in 2009, their relationship has been tumultuous – Swift claims that she never knew about the ‘Famous’ lyric, while West and wife Kim Kardashian say that they have recorded evidence that Swift not only approved the line, but encouraged it.
Well, if Swift wasn’t happy about ‘Famous’ lyrically, then she probably has a lot to say about the video. Premiered by West over the weekend in Los Angeles, the video features a portrayal of Swift lying naked in bed with the rapper – alongside Donald Trump, George Bush, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Bill Cosby and more. Yes, it’s a giant bed for an ambitious visual – everyone from Ray J to Amber Rose are even squeezed in there – and a source says that Swift is ‘livid and horrified’ after seeing it.
“Taylor is livid and horrified. She didn’t know what to do when she heard about what Kanye did. She is bewildered, feels betrayed, and is beyond frustrated with Kanye. It is like a complete nightmare,” the source said to Hollywood Life.
“She knew he was unpredictable but didn’t think he would go so far. She’s strategizing with her team as to what her next move should be. She’s weighing all her options and will then respond accordingly. Just writing a song dissing him isn’t enough payback for something like this,” the source continued.
We’re not going to jump to conclusions based on information from a ‘source’, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Swift retaliates in some manner to the full-frontal visual. In case you missed it, you can watch the ‘Famous’ video right here on TIDAL, which will probably weird you out just a tad:
