The Real Reason Taylor Swift Can't Stand Kim Kardashian

In 2016, Kanye West released "Famous," which made headlines after he made a controversial statement about Taylor Swift. "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**ch famous," West raps in the song.

At the time, sources told TMZ that West had called Swift to "explain it was a joke and wanted to make sure she wouldn't be upset" before the tune was released. However, Swift's rep told People that West "did not call for approval" and, instead, asked her "to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account." Swift's rep added, "Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that b**ch famous.'" 

Of course, Kardashian couldn't help but insert herself into the narrative and took the time to call out Swift. "She totally knew that that was coming out," the reality star told GQ in June 2016, alleging that Swift was aware of the "Famous" lyrics all along. "She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't." Kardashian added that Swift "totally gave the okay."

In July 2016, Kardashian wanted to expose Swift, so she decided to post the conversation between West and the pop star on Snapchat. "Go with whatever line you think is better," Swift told West in the clip about the lyrics (via PopSugar). "It's obviously very tongue in cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice!"
