Kanye West takes bizarre U-turn with his fraught relationship with Taylor Swift after 15 years of feuding

Kanye West takes bizarre U-turn with his fraught relationship with Taylor Swift after 15 years of feuding

Kanye West has seemingly taken a U-turn with his relationship with Taylor Swift as he has made the popstar the only account on Instagram that he follows. 

The Gold Digger singer, 47, has a history of switching up his social media and going through waves of different behaviours. 

Some times he will only post about his wife Bianca Censori and share snaps of her in some risky outfits while other times he goes blank on social media and removes all his content. 

But his latest move on Instagram is sure to confuse some fans as he made Taylor the only person he is following on social media. 

Taylor, who is currently dating American footballer Travis Kelce, does not follow the singer back. 

His following comes after a not-so-subtle reference to Taylor and Travis was made in Kanye’s Vultures 2 album amid the rapper’s on-going feud with the pop singer.

In the lyrics of the track Lifestyle (Demo), the line goes: ‘I twist my Taylor spliffs тιԍнт at the end like Travis Kelce.’

The lyrics appear to refer to the singer and her boyfriend, who plays тιԍнт end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The pair did not said anything publicly about the reference.    

The out-of-character move comes after nearly 15 years of enmity between the recording artists, as the seeds of the feud between were planted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

In the infamous exchange, Kanye infamously interrupted Taylor during her victory speech for the Best Female Video award for You Belong With Me, which had been nominated against Beyonce’s Single Ladies.

Kanye emerged on the stage and took the microphone from Taylor, telling her, ‘Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all-time! One of the best videos of all-time.’

While the musical stars appeared to be on better terms in the years following – they were pictured at a number of events in the years after – things blew up after the release of Kanye’s 2016 song Famous.

Kanye claimed at the time that Taylor had given him her blessing to refer to her as a ‘B****’ in the lyrics of the song, in a reference to the VMAs incident.

Taylor said she never made such an agreement, leading to a public feud with Kanye after he and his former wife Kim Kardashian in July of 2016 released a call Kanye and Taylor had over the contents of the Famous song.

Kim alluded to Taylor as a snake upon the release of the call, saying in a tweet, ‘Wait it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!’

Taylor in 2019 spoke to Vogue about how she dealt with the high-profile scandal, saying she channeled her energies into her material.

‘A mᴀss public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote canceled, is a very isolating experience,’ she said of the difficult time. 

Seeds of the discord between Kanye and Tayolr were planted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City

‘When you say someone is canceled, it’s not a TV show. It’s a human being.

‘You’re sending mᴀss amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, “Kill yourself.”‘

She opened up about the creative process in the wake of the scandal, which purportedly inspired the tracks This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things and Look What You Made Me Do.

‘I knew immediately I needed to make music about it because I knew it was the only way I could survive it,’ Swift told the outlet. ‘It was the only way I could preserve my mental health and also tell the story of what it’s like to go through something so humiliating.’
