From an article in Feb:

Taylor clearly exaggerated how disappointed she was with the lyrics she was told about. She did hesitate a bit in the video of the call, but I wouldn't exactly say she ''cautioned him''.
She was never told about the lyric, ''I made that bitch famous'' and that is the problem here. That was always the problem and anyone saying different is in denial. Her whole Grammy speech was directed at that line.
Either way, I am not sure why anybody in this thread is defending such a misogynistic song. Regardless of whether Taylor approved it or not, he should not have done it. At no point should he have thought calling Taylor a bitch and claiming he made her famous was a good idea. Especially in the context of their relationship.
I understand the forum hates Taylor, but you guys need to look at things more objectively.
How? He made that bitch famous, though.Taylor still better and cooler than Kanye.

If that wasn't true, why would Taylor let Kanye say he made her famous in his song?Let's look at Taylor's accomplishments before he made her "famous":

I don't think you know what 'better' is. It's not defined by sales.
Kanye is vastly more critically acclaimed and influential for music than Taylor has been or ever will be.
You can post Kanye's stats if you want.
Taylor still better and cooler than Kanye.

You can clearly see in 2009 where she got mass exposure due the Kanye incident.
Sure, she was on the rise, but she wouldn't be as famous as she is now without that incident.
The crux of Kanyes pov is that she used that incident in order to elevate her profile even more. It's not a line to be taken literally, neither the might still have sex nor the bitch famous lines were meant to be. That's pretty much Kanyes whole point.Let's look at Taylor's accomplishments before he made her "famous":

Everyone: She lied!!
Taylor fans: no no no she told a fib! a white lie. She didnt know he was gonna say "i made that bitch famous!!"
these goal posts i tell ya. lmao. Dude had a full blown convo with her. All she had to say was I dont want to be apart of the song. but nah she was okay with it. lol
You can post Kanye's stats if you want.
Taylor stans are never going to accept the girl is a fake or a liar. Which is fine. But I don't get why she felt a need to lie about this.
If you were cool with it when Ye called you why don't you just say so? If you changed your mind.why not just admit you had a change of heart. It's not at all bad to say "I did say w/e but I really thought about it and I don't want that type of language stamped with my aproval". All this shady business is simply showing the girl has zero integrity.
It's not like anyone is coming to bat for Kanye making the lyric. But this is some grade A pr fuckery. It come across as trying to be perpetuate youraelf as a victim. Clearly she isnt in this situation.
I think the fact that everyone knew she was doing this kind of thing for a while now is what makes it so good that Kim K finally nailed her.At this point, it became her brand really. The sweet innocent perfect girl who's been a victim of sortts. This isn't some kind of secret knowledge though, lots of people seem to be able to see through her whole cringy fakeness long before any "expose".
His 21 Grammys and his much higher critic rating average across the board?
This is stuff you can easily look up yourself.
OMG the utter desperation on display to keep this girl squeaky clean.
"You didn't know me back then," what do you guys think that entire part was about.
Then there's the fact that Taylor initially lied about the very nature of the call.
You don't get to move the goal posts after the initial lie. She lied bruh. By defending the L you merely prolong its effects.
Taylor stans are never going to accept the girl is a fake or a liar. Which is fine. But I don't get why she felt a need to lie about this.
No no no
She was okay with the part where she Kanye was going to to have sex with her...
But she wasn't okay with being called a bitch!
(The same girl that was in the Apple Music ad for Drake lip syncing a song that has the word nigga & bitch in it)
Taylor still better and cooler than Kanye.
Oh wow, yea that's just you mate.The song Swift ghostwrote for her ex Calvin outpaces Kanye's entire catalogue and that's before anyone even knew it was her.
That's just me though.
Taylor Swift: 10 Grammys
Kanye: 21 Grammys
what are they teaching over there in Vancouver lmao
Clearly SHE HAS MORE NOMS!! lmao man the lengths people go to try and be right is insane. what a silly argument, quality of awards > number of themI mean I'm not a fan of either artist but you might wanna take a look at said awards, I think about 180 of them are country music awards and there are several Nickelodeon awards, so what's your point?
Kanye's been around longerTaylor Swift: 10 Grammys

Who are all these people telling others that we aren't allowed to be amused by this because of all of the bad things going on the world (many of which they prolly don't even know the intricacies of)?
Can y'all breath up in that ivory tower?
