[quote=Anonymous]Much of the media agrees that Kim and Kanye won this round over Taylor:  [url]http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7439506/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-taylor-swift-feud-won[/url]

A few sample opinions:

[quote]Iyana Robertson, music editor, BET:

"There comes a time in every music diva’s life when the wool is pulled from the public’s eyes, and this time approaches faster than ever thanks to the Internet. Beyoncé had a family dispute in an elevator, and Taylor Swift got caught in a conversation she claims she didn’t have. While roasting the pop star on Twitter was a grand ol' time, it’s more important to note how unorthodox it was for Kanye West to make that call. The outspoken multi-hyphenate often gets flack for leading toasts to the assholes, but found himself in a territory that few rappers have gone before: asking for permission. Yes, Kanye – that Kanye – asked someone for permission. Much can be said about where this all leaves artistic license, but the victim buck stops here. Sorry, Ms. Swift."

Sylvia Obell, pop culture writer, BuzzFeed:

"Kimye takes this win hands down. Their execution was flawless because they remembered an often overlooked virtue of pettiness – patience. Whether it was planned or not, Kimye holding off on sharing that video allowed Taylor and her team to back themselves into a corner that’s really hard to spin their way out of (Exhibit A: that iPhone note screenshot that only addressed the "that bitch" portion of the “Famous”). But like, girl, those who have been paying close attention haven’t forgotten your rep’s statement saying that Ye “did not call for approval” and that you cautioned him about releasing a song with "such a strong misogynistic message." Last I checked, saying you take something as compliment isn’t very cautionary. And her attempt to play victim is a cheap shot because none of this would have happened if she hadn’t lied about being blindsided by all of this in the first place. Kim did not start this, she just finished it. Taylor just needs to take her first big L like a G (the way Beyoncé, Kendrick, and all the other artists who didn’t deserve to lose to her at various award shows did) and move on. People bounce back from bad videos everyday, just look at Kim."

Stacy-Ann Ellis, assistant editor, Vibe:

"Let me go on record to say this: In all of their time being "famous,” I've never been the biggest fan of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. Something about vapidness turns me off. But in her post-Fearless years (I seriously loved those songs and the humble girl who wrote them), Taylor Swift has worked her way even further under the epidermis than Kanye's shiny new family.

So it (ashamedly) thrilled me to see Kimberly Kardashian-West pull all the receipts from the bottom of her Balenciaga bag to silence Taylor's nagging, victim-y ways. It made me admire Kim in a whole new way. Not only did she make the journalist in me smile by having all her sources handy, credible and downright undeniable, but she doled out a valuable lesson in patience. She and Kanye knowingly sat on that video of Taylor giving the green light for "Famous" as Taylor pouted out her lower lip and assumed the helpless, bullied role in front of the flashing cameras after The Life of Pablo's release. The salaciously calm read—the footage was shared silently but widely via Kim's Snapchat after an episode of KUWTK—also made me tip my hat to Kimye in regards to their unwavering loyalty to each other. Even when no one believed 'Ye's claims that he received Swift's blessing, Kim stood by her husband's words and stepped out on a limb to clear his name in the pettiest, most public (but perfect) way possible. Salute, Kim."[/quote]

Only one critic out of about a dozen says Swift wins.[/quote]
