Are you actually saying TS dresses as trashily as Kim? I'm no TS fan, but that's laughable. |
She's made a hugely successful career out of being a victim, she will play this to her advantage. Kimye should have let this story die. |
Where does she agree to it? I hear her thanking Kanye for informing her about it. It's sort of rich to be defending Kanye for saying something so vile about her in public, but then going after Swift for responding to the claim in public. There's such a sexist overtone to all of this. |
It has nothing to do with Taylor being white and everything to do with those two being untalented, classless fame whores.

What? I'm a white woman and I think there's such a racist overtone in all of this. Her people said he didn't call her for approval of the lyric, he called her to release the song on her Twitter -- that is obviously false! They obviously had an hour long phone call in which his intention was to get her approval of the lyrics in advance! It was wrong of her to pretend that the lyrics were a total surprise to her. I really like the NYT take, posted on the last page, on the whole thing. Fair, but on the whole coming out (seemed to me) in favor of Kanye. I also think this is two times in recent history where Swift has initially seemed to agree to something and then apparently changed her mind and backpedalled and tried to make the person she made the agreement with look bad: (1) writing the lyrics to the Calvin Harris song under an alias so she didn't take focus away from him, but then after its release saying that she wrote the song. (Cue Calvin Harris twitter feud over Swift making him look bad.) (2) seeming open to the Famous lyrics on the phone with Kanye and then doing an about take in front of the cameras saying he was taking credit for her work, and then doubling down and saying he never called her for her approval of the lyrics, just to release the song on twitter (when he clearly did call her for her approval of the lyrics, they talked for an hour, and she thanked him for calling her in advance and said that doing so was really cool and respectful of him and that she appreciated it!). |

“It’s like a compliment kind of,” Swift says after hearing the lyric. “Go with whatever line you think is better. It’s obviously very tongue in cheek either way,” she adds. “I really appreciate you telling me about it! That’s really nice.”
Throughout the conversation, Kanye repeatedly tells Swift that he considers her a “friend” and felt a “responsibility” to ask her permission before releasing the lyric. “Relationships are more important than punchlines, you know,” he says. “And I’m really glad that you had the respect to call me and tell me about the song,” Swift adds. “If people ask me about it, it would be great to say, ‘well he called me and told me before it came out, jokes on you guys, we’re fine.'” |
She's too nice .

“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,” a spokesperson for Swift said following the song’s release back in February.
That was totally untrue. He obviously did call her for approval. Why did she lie? |
| I can't believe people are seeing racial overtones to this!!! Are we forgetting that Kanye put a nude silicone doll of Taylor in his video WITHOUT HER CONSENT? How is that ok? Look at all the people (rightfully) freaking out about the model posting a pic of an anonymous nude woman at the gym. How is that so different from what Kanye did to Taylor in his video? That was LOW. He is not the victim here. |
You think that she fully agreed to a song and a video that she had never even heard or seen? No. She did not. Nice try though. Kanye and Kim are twisted. |
Is that a silicone doll? How do you know that? |
I agree. It is really uncomfortable to read that. Her side of the convo is a textbook definition of trying too hard to be likable. I think she really did not want to be on bad terms with them and was willing at the time to bend over backwards to prevent that from happening and then perhaps thought better about it when she heard the actual song and felt that he was making fun of her (which he was). |
| SMH and she went on live television at the Grammys and made that dramatic speech about people taking credit for her success. She is faker than a $3 bill. |
They're all dolls. You can't honestly think she (or the rest of the people portrayed) consented to that. |
Some people think her speech was about Calvin Harris taking credit for the song she wrote. |
