Famous 2016 is not the first Taylor Swift vs Kanye West scandal, but as early as 2009, Kanye West stole Taylor’s mic on the VMAs stage and made her burst into tears. After 10 years, by 2020, Taylor Swift can wash away all her injustice.
The “enmity” started over the microphone in 2009
2009 was a tumultuous year in the career of country music princess Taylor Swift.
During the Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift was named in the Best Video Of The Year category with the MV for her famous song: You Belong With Me. But unlike other artists, male rapper Kanye West – Kim Kardashian’s husband – did not congratulate him but suddenly walked on stage and snatched Taylor’s mic while she was giving her award speech.
Kanye West bluntly stated: “This award should belong to Beyoncé” making not only Taylor Swift herself but also all the artists below angry and protesting against Kanye West. Even Beyoncé burst into tears of sadness and anger: “I feel very sorry for Taylor Swift” – she shared. Singer P!ink also showed his anger when he rushed to Kanye West and pointed straight at him with unacceptable shakes of his head.
After that, in 2017, Taylor Swift released the song with the MV Look What You Made Me Do, including the scene where she was robbed of the mic in 2009 at the end of the song with the classic line: “I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative” (I extremely wish to stay out of this chain of events).
Kanye West and his wife shared a recording blaming Taylor Swift in 2016
After “uncivilized actions” in 2009, Kanye West personally destroyed both his image and his personal career. While Taylor Swift is growing and becoming more powerful in Hollywood, Kanye West’s shows are canceled, he rarely appears at awards, there are more and more anti-fans, and of course money is always lacking. But the male rapper still says over and over again: I made her (Taylor) famous.
Because of this thinking, in 2016 Kanye West continued to cause another shocking scandal with the song Famous. The song has the lyrics: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn)”. Along with that, the image of Taylor Swift and many other famous actresses and singers appeared in nude wax statues on Kanye West’s couple’s bed, causing outrage in the Swiftie community and the whole world in shock and horror.

When criticized that the lyrics of the song Famous were rude and the images in the MV were misleading, offensive to Taylor Swift and at risk of facing a series of lawsuits, Kim Kardashian posted a recording of a conversation between Kanye West and Taylor.

The recording shows that Kanye West asked Taylor for permission and she completely agreed with the male rapper’s lyrics. While Taylor Swift affirmed that she never agreed with the lyrics of this song, and did not know about the nude image in the MV. Comparing between Taylor’s words and Kim’s recording, people leaned towards the side with more concrete evidence and boycotted Taylor, calling her a “poisonous snake”.
Taylor Swift: A gentleman takes revenge, 10 years is not too late
It was thought that the “bad fate” between Taylor Swift and Kanye West had ended here. Taylor Swift, after being “hidden” for a year due to the 2016 scandal, has revived herself and completely escaped the image of a gentle and innocent country music princess, becoming a “poisonous snake”, even a “king snake”. ” with the famous song Look What You Made Me Do in 2017.
But in March 2020, once again, the 2016 scandal was dug up again with an unedited recording, showing that Taylor Swift always told the truth about the 2016 incident with Kanye West.
In the complete, uncut recording, Taylor Swift, when asked about the lyrics of Famous, said that she needed to think more before making a decision. She also asked Kanye West to send the entire song for her review. And there is no part where Kanye West says he will call Taylor a “bitch” in the song, Kanye West only says that there will be the line “I made her famous”.
So Kanye West not only lied to the media and the whole world when he released the edited recording, but to Taylor Swift himself, when asking for her permission, he also lied.
Immediately after this recording was leaked, the keyword #KanyeWestIsOverParty trended at the top on twitter. Not only the Swiftie community but many famous artists are also indignant and demanding justice for Taylor after 4 years of injustice.
