It Looks Like Taylor Swift Was Telling the Truth About Kanye West the Whole Time

One of the shockingly underreported side effects of covid-19, whether you have it or not, is the total and complete loss of one’s ability to accurately observe and understand the passage of time. For example, today I woke up and thought, Tuesday, again!? Before realizing it was Saturday and was, therefore, time to blog. Upon logging on to the internet I’ve realized that the individual ability to process and recognize time might be the least of our worries, as it appears that there has been a rift in the very fabric of our space-time continuum, jettisoning us back to 2016 where the Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West drama is still very much unfinished business.
If you were, perhaps, on some kind of Eat, Pray, Love adventure thing in 2016 you might have missed out on this “news,” so for your benefit I will provide you the swiftest (that’s a pun) of summaries. Kanye, a grown man, threw a public tantrum when Taylor won an award once. There were two years of press about anything they did that might be about the other person. Kanye released his song “Famous,” with some not-so-nice lyrics about Taylor, accompanied by a music video that featured a nude replication of her. Taylor was, understandably, upset. Kim released footage via Snapchat showing that Taylor allegedly approved the song lyrics. Everyone attacked Taylor with snake emojis. “Look What You Made Me Do.” Fin.
Or, well, not-so-fin as it turns out. Although the 2016 moment lives on as a cultural touchpoint, largely proliferated by Swift’s 2018 Reputation tour of which the controversy appeared to be the nexus, the story itself seemed to be closed. Until today. Whatever “today” means.
New footage has surfaced of Swift’s conversation with West, showing that the Snapchat videos Kardashian released absolutely failed to accurately portray the full story. It also corroborates Swift’s claim that she had no idea West planned to call her a bitch in the song “Famous,” something she was very uncomfortable with.
