You'll be aware of the drama going down between Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West. If you're not, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
The Kardashians have a long and varied history of manipulating the media for maximum exposure. And BOY have they outdone themselves this time.
First of all, let's look at the timeline of all these events.
Kanye released "Famous" back in February, to public uproar. Taylor then made a thinly veiled dig at Kanye during her Grammys acceptance speech just a few weeks later.
But it wasn't until last month that Kim gave an interview to GQ. And this is when things really get interesting, because she revealed that there was a video in existence showing Kanye discussing the song with Taylor β who also gave approval on camera.
Kim said:
She totally approved that. He even called her to get it approved. Rick Rubin was there. So many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation] and knew. It was funny because [on the call with Kanye, Taylor] said, βWhen I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that Iβm so against this, and Iβll just laugh and say, βThe jokeβs on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.β And Iβm like, wait, but [in] your Grammy speech, you completely dissed my husband just to play the victim again.
