Taylor Swift’s rift with Kim Kardashian began when the reality star weighed in on Taylor’s fallout with her now-ex husband Kanye West, by releasing a phone call that Taylor says ultimately ruined her career.
And in her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Taylor seemed to call out Kim’s actions directly with a song called ‘thanK you aIMee’ all about a “school bully”.
After fans heard the song and quickly came to the conclusion it was about Kim, The Kardashians star cryptically responded by saying, ‘life’s good’ after Jimmy Kimmel referenced the track in his opening monologue before interviewing Kim.
But what happened between Taylor and Kim, what happened on that phone call, and did Kim and Kanye ever apologise?
What did Kim Kardashian do to Taylor Swift?
Kim and Taylor’s rift began when Kim put out an edited phone call to try and prove Taylor had agreed to Kanye calling her a ‘b***h’ in his song ‘Famous’.
If we’re going way back, Kim and Taylor’s feud is actually a branch off of Taylor’s fallout with Kanye West, Kim’s ex husband. It all began at the 2009 at the MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye grabbed Taylor’s microphone to tell the audience Beyoncé should have won Video of the Year instead of the then-19-year-old.
And in 2016 things worsened when Kanye released ‘Famous’ in which he sings: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, why? I made that b***h famous’ just months after they’d patched things up.
It was soon clear Taylor never agreed to the ‘b***h’ reference and their feud only developed from there, despite being on the phone months prior – a conversation during which Kanye called the pop star his ‘friend.’
