Remember the Taylor Swift/Kanye West"Famous" controversy that extended to the Grammy's? Kim Kardashian posted snippets of video on Snapchat showing a phone conversation between Taylor Swift and Kanye West about "Famous" prior to its release that, among other things, shows:
1) She was aware of the song and that she was going to be mentioned
2) That he had a line about having sex with her and another line, likely about being made famous (it's unclear what that line was, since that footage wasn't released)
3) Kanye did in fact ask Taylor Swift for approval of the lyrics, which she grants; she said him asking is sweet and entirely unexpected
4) Regardless of approval, Taylor Swift encouraged Kanye to tell his story as he sees it
5) Taylor Swift said she would tell reporters that there was no feud and that they were friends
Taylor Swift has since posted a note in response saying she was never given the full information and that she is unfairly being called a liar. There is some speculation the note was written a while ago and only posted today, given the screenshot she posted.
Selena Gomez entered the fray, saying she thinks there are more important things to talk about. She has received backlash because of her silence on more important issues. She then has continued to follow up, receiving more backlash.
