Taylor Swift's Fans Dominate Kim Kardashian's Comments Section And Beg: 'Apologize To Tay'
In her cover story for Time's '2023 Person of the Year,' the 33-year-old "Cruel Summer" singer spoke about her seemingly endless feud with the "Eazy" rapper, which started in 2009 after he interrupted her acceptance speech when she won the MTV VMA for 'Best Female Video' for "You Belong With Me" and said he thought Beyoncé deserved the award instead. Taylor has been feuding with Kanye ever since (check out a complete timeline here) with things reaching their peak in 2016 after he shaded her in his song "Famous."
If you'll recall, the Kardashians star claimed Swift knew that West planned to release the track, and leaked a phone call between the two musicians discussing the song – and the lyrics about Swift – before its release. However, Taylor's publicist said at the time: "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single "Famous" on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that [expletive] famous.'"
The internet took Kim's side after listening to the phone call, with #KimExposedTaylorParty even trending. However, it was later discovered that Kardashian *edited* the phone call to make West look better, which is what Swift told Time "took [her] down psychologically" and even forced her to move to a different country.
The "Blank Space" singer told the pub, ahead of the release of her re-recorded version of Reputation: "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. 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."
Naturally the Swifties had the "Karma" singer's back following her candid Time confession. Many of them flooded the Skkn by Kim founder's Instagram post with snake emojis – in reference to the snake imagery associated with Swift's Reputation album – and gifs of the singer, while a few others were a little more vocal and demanded she apologize to the "Anti-Hero" singer.
"The Swifties are canceling Kim," one user wrote, followed by the crying laughing emoji. "Oh look what you made the Swifties do," wrote another, referencing Swift's song, "Look What You Made Me Do." "Apologize To Tay," wrote another Swiftie, which many other users echoed. "APOLOGIZE! It's the right thing to do," exclaimed another Swift fan.
