This Moment Of Taylor Swift Laughing While Singing About Forgiveness Is Going Viral—Fans Think It’s About Kanye West!
July 25, 2023 by Marissa Matozzo
Taylor Swift seemed to make light of her feud with Kanye West during her recent Seattle tour stop for her Eras Tour. While performing her song, “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” the Grammy winner chuckled at one point, after singing the line: “Here’s to you, cuz forgiveness is a nice thing to do.”
The track’s lyrics are widely thought to reference her long-standing beef with West and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Swift was met with a loud roar from the crowd as she laughed. The 33-year-old then stopped and remarked: “I can’t even say it with a straight face,” before launching into the final chorus of the song.
Swift’s jokey reference is similar to the original recording from her 2017 album, Reputation, which followed (and is often thought to have been inspired by) her quarrels with West. See the now viral moment (thanks to fan-shot footage) above.
