The Most Savage Responses To Kim Kardashian’s Exposure Of Taylor Swift

Last night, as you, dear reader, are surely aware, the heavens broke open and the public was blessed with a gift, a gift courtesy of Investigative Reporter™ Kimberly Kardashian West. To recap, Kim released a video on Snapchat showing a phone call between her husband Kanye West and Taylor Swift, in which Taylor tacitly approved lyrics referencing her on Kanye’s track “Famous.” As we all know, Swift has been adamant in her criticism of the song. Her rep stated that Taylor cautioned Kanye against releasing a song with such a “strong misogynistic message,” and she even essentially subtweeted the rapper in her Grammy acceptance speech.

It all truly came to a head in Kim’s genius GQ profile by Caity Weaver, in which Kim detailed that Taylor had approved the “Famous” lyrics over the phone with Kanye. Taylor’s rep followed up with a statement denying that she approved a lyric referencing her as “that bitch,” and that Taylor was “humiliated” when she heard the song. Coincidentally, pictures of Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston frolicking on the beach (“Tinker Taylor Snogs A Spy” remains the best headline of all time, bravo Sun) came out on the same day as Kim’s GQ cover.

We may not be Us Weekly types, but this is all just too good. TOO GOOD. In a twist of brilliant timing, last night’s episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians featured Kim telling her family about the profile, and how she had used it to explicitly defend her husband. And then, right after it aired, she released the Snaps. Evan Spiegel owes Kim a gift basket or something, right? And Kris Jenner must be pleased—as is most of the internet. Swift released a statement saying that she had never approved the “that bitch” lyric, which is, in fairness, never referenced on video. But in the wake of witnessing the jovial, polite conversation between Swift and West, people are… amused. Check out the most hilarious memes and reactions below. Happy #KimExposedTaylorParty.

the fact that the back button is "search" suggests she wrote this a while ago

And let us never forget…

it's important to remember that beyoncé is the catalyst of all this and therefore all that has been done has been done in her honor
