Lol at People saying calvin knew and then correcting to say he didnt. I def think Taylors pr tried to get in there first and calvin set them straight. I love a good scandal. I root for nobody, just the drama. I realize this makes me probably a sad person lol but idc if Eleanor Roosevelt thinks I have a small mind!
Now, West’s wife Kim Kardashian West has spoken out in a new interview with GQ, saying that Swift “totally approved that” song. Further, she believes there’s video of the alleged approval phone call because West commissions a videographer to film everything while he’s making an album. It’s unlikely, however, that footage will surface because Kardashian West says Swift sent a letter with her attorney that asserted, “Don’t ever let that footage come out of me saying that. Destroy it.” this would be a weird part to make up though Kim Kardashian Says Taylor Swift “Totally Approved” Kanye’s “Famous” (And They Have It on Video) | Pitchfork
wait, what? original taylor team stbatement: “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. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’” how could she know it was such a misogynist song if she never heard it or didnt know about the lyric?
Is that statement from her team real??? I thought it was fake cause it was so much shadier than anything she'd normally release in a statement I'm not sure what the truth is. I feel like Kanye called her to notify but I don't believe for a second that Taylor would approve it without listening to it or knowing what the lyric would be so either she knew, or Kanye changed it after imo
my position from day one has basically been that they definitely talked and just came away with radically different understandings of the conversation they had. it seems blatantly absurd that taylors team would claim she "cautioned him" about such a misogynist song (had she never heard a kanye track before?) but equally insane to me that kanye thinks she gave the go ahead to drop a song where he says those specific words about her. its somewhere in the middle. give me the raw video or just let the whole thing go imo
Didn't Kanye admit that he didn't exactly run it past Taylor in some interview recently? I forget what article it was. I think it was an article posted when Champions dropped.
he talks about it somewhere in here but idk where. everyone just says he claimed he got it approved again. idk the exact phrasing
