Kim Kardashian has sided with Kanye West on his years-long feud with Taylor Swift, but some fans aren't sure how the聽 Keeping Up With The Kardashians聽star got herself involved in the situation.聽Without any context, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift are two celebrities who appear to be completely detached from each other and who would likely never cross paths in their professional lives. But ever since Kanye West started a feud with the country star, Kim has taken his聽side on the matter. Find out what Kim has done to contribute to the Kanye vs. Taylor drama.
Kanye Interrupts Taylor At The VMAs
The never-ending beef between Kanye West and聽Taylor Swift聽started at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. That year, Beyonc茅 had garnered several nominations for聽her iconic "Single Ladies" music video. Before Queen Bey聽won Video Of The Year that year, Taylor's "You Belong With Me" video won Best Female Video. An outraged Kanye stood up from his seat during Taylor's acceptance speech and interrupted her. "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you," Kanye said, "I'mma let you finish, but Beyonc茅 had one of the best videos of all time!"聽Even viewers who agreed with Kanye felt like it was rude for him to interrupt what was then an up-and-coming singer winning her first-ever VMA trophy.
Kanye聽Disses Taylor On "Famous"
A聽few diss tracks and many award show聽run-ins later, Kanye West聽and Taylor Swift were willing to help each other fix their unnecessary feud. In 2015, Taylor introduced Kanye before he won the coveted Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs. They appeared to have buried the hatchet, at least until Kanye released a new song, "Famous", where he implied that he could possibly still sleep with Taylor since he had "made her famous." This line did not sit well with Taylor, who declared that she had never given Kanye the greenlight to say that about her. In turn, the rapper insisted that he got her consent for those lyrics.
Kim Leaks聽Phone Call With Taylor
This is when Kim Kardashian got actively involved in the Taylor Swift drama. Trying to defend her then-husband, Kim took to her Snapchat to leak聽the audio recording of a phone call that happened between Taylor and Kanye. As transcribed by聽 Bustle, Kanye presented Taylor with a very different version of his lyrics, at no point referring to the part where he claimed to make her famous. While Taylor could be heard giving Kanye the go-ahead, it was clear that she hadn't listened to the final聽lyrics on "Famous". Since then, Kim became an active character in this ongoing feud.
Some聽Keeping Up With The Kardashians聽fans think that Kim might reach out to Taylor after her divorce with Kanye is finalized. On the other hand, it's not like these two women have much in common, and it's very unlikely that they'd ever need to collaborate on a project together.聽But anything can happen, and maybe Taylor and Kim will feel the need to put this behind them.
