Taylor Swift-Kanye West Feud: Swift Has Had Enough Of West ‘Getting Headlines Off Of Her,’ Wants Grammys To Be Only About Her
Kanye West may have denied dissing Taylor Swift in his new song “Famous” but the latter seems to be still angry at him for beginning the controversy. According to a report by Hollywood Life, Swift has had enough of West gaining attention through controversies involving her and does not want the latest one to affect her night at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards Monday.
“The Grammy Awards are going to be her night and Kanye has got enough free press from her coattails so she doesn’t want to give him anymore. A reaction song might come down the line but she wants the Grammy Awards to be about her and her achievements and not Kanye West,” a source told Hollywood Life.
The source added: “Grammy night is Taylor‘s night, she is going to win big, be featured in the start of the show, the Grammys are going to be her showcase for an amazing year. The cameras are going to catch her dancing all night and having fun. And that to Taylor is going to be great. Kanye keeps getting headlines off of her, his actions are below her.”
West was heard rapping in his latest song: “I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex, I made that b**** famous.” Kim Kardashian’s husband was criticized for the lyrics and he took to Twitter to say that it was a joke. He also added that the lyrics were Swift’s idea.
West started out by saying on Twitter: “I did not diss Taylor Swift and I’ve never dissed her,” adding: “First thing is I’m an artist and as an artist I will express how I feel with no censorship.”
He also said that Kardashian was also “cool” with the lyrics in the song.
The “Bad Blood” singer’s publicist, however, denied that West ever called for approval. “Kanye did not call for approval,” her representative said, according to Fox News, adding: “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. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that b**** famous.'”
In 2009, Swift and West also had a run-in when the “Bound 2” singer interrupted Swift after coming on to the stage, grabbed the mic and protested against her winning the Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA). The feud seemed to be over after last year’s MTV VMAs after which West sent a bouquet of flowers.
Swift had also said at the 2015 VMAs: “I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Kanye had one of the greatest careers of all time.” adding: “I first met Kanye West six years ago at this show, actually.”
