Taylor Swift’s feud with Kanye West explodes as Kim Kardashian releases audio that proves she DID know about track ‘Famous’
The reality star has sent shock waves through the Internet by sharing the shock audio
TAYLOR Swift's ongoing feud with Kanye West has reached boiling point after his wife Kim Kardashian sensationally decided to release audio proving the Bad Blood singer DID approve his song Famous.
The reality star sent shock waves throughout the Internet as she shared the explosive conversation on her Snapchat - which went viral within minutes.
In the game-changing audio Taylor - who has always denied any knowledge of the word 'b***h' being used in the song- can be heard describing the track as a 'compliment'.
She goes on to tell him to use whichever lyric he thinks is best because 'people will know it is not a diss'.
Kim shared the audio in the earlier hours of this morning after tweeting just hours earlier that it was national snake day - which many believed was aimed at Taylor.
It also coincided with the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in which she discusses the pop singer's ongoing feud with her husband.
Prior to posting the audio on her Snapchat Kim tweeted: "Do u guys follow me on snap chat? u really should ;-)"
Shake It off singer Taylor and Kanye have been embroiled in a bitter row since 2009 - after he interrupted her during her MTV VMA Awards acceptance speech that year to declare that Beyonce should have won.
They had seemingly made it up prior to the release of his song Famous, which includes the lyrics: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex"
Following the release of Famous, Taylor's rep released a statement denying Taylor had given permission.
“Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his “Famous” on her Twitter account," the statement read.
"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.”
Taylor then appeared to address the song when she picked up the Grammy for Album of The Year.
She blasted: “There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,”
“But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and know that it was you.”
Taylor has since responded to the audio being leaked online. She wrote:“Where is this video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened.
“You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world. Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.
"While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009.”
During last night's episode of KUWTK Kim referred to a recent GQ interview where she slammed Taylor and said: "I never talk s**t about anyone publicly, especially in interviews. But I was just like I had so had it. I just felt like I wanted to defend him in it because it's like, she legitimately said, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press. Like I was in on it.'
"And you know just another way to play the victim. It definitely got her a lot of attention the first time. I just don't think he should be punished for it still to this day."
Full conversation between Kanye West and Taylor Swift
-Kanye West: OK, dope. You still got the Nashville number?
-Taylor Swift: I still have the nashville area code but i had to change it…
-Kanye: For all my south side n****s that know me best, feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.
-Taylor: I'm like this close to overexposure.
-Kanye: Oh well this one is, uh — I think this is a really cool thing to have
-Taylor: I know! I mean it's like a compliment kind of.
-Kanye: What I give a fuck about is just you as a person, and as a friend.
-Taylor: That's sweet.
-Kanye: I want things that make you feel good. I don't wanna do rap that makes people feel bad.
-Taylor: Um, ya. I mean, go with whatever line you think is better. It's obviously very tongue in cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice!
-Kanye: Yea. I just felt I had a responsibility to you as a friend. I mean, thanks for being so cool about it.
-Taylor: Aw, thanks! Yeah I really appreciate it. Like, the heads up is so nice!
-Taylor: …things without like even asking or seeing if I'd be OK with it. And I just really appreciate it. I never would've expect you to tell me about a line in your song.
-Taylor: And then the flowers that you sent me, I Instagrammed a picture of them and it's the most Instagram likes I've ever gotten. It was like 2.7...
-Kanye: Relationships are more important than punchlines, you know.
-Taylor: Yeah. I mean, I don't think anybody would listen to that and be like, Oh, that's a real diss. Like, she must be crying about…
-Taylor: You gotta tell the story the way that it happened to you and the way you experienced it. Like you obviously didn't know who I was before that.
-Taylor: It doesn't matter if I sold 7 million of that album before you did that, which is what happened. You didn't know who I was before that.
-Taylor: … that I can make these things happen and I have the ideas to do it and I create these things and concepts. And, like, I'm always gonna respect you.
-Taylor: And I'm really glad you had the respect to call me that and tell me that as a friend, about the song. It's just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship. So thank you.
-Kanye: Thank you too.
-Taylor: And you know, if people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, Look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out. Like, joke's on you guys, we're fine
-Taylor: You guys wanna call this a feud, you wanna call this throwing shade. But right after the song comes out I'm gonna be on a Grammy red carpet and they're gonna ask me about it and I'm gonna be like, he called me.
-Taylor: …awesome that you're so outspoken and it's gonna be like, Yea, she does, it made her famous! It's more provocative to say, Might still have sex.
-Taylor: …it's not. It doesn't matter to me. there's not one that hurts my feelings and one that doesn't.
