Taylor Swift and Kanye West have been embroiled in a decade-long feud that began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. During the ceremony, Kanye West stormed the stage, interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video, claiming Beyoncé's video was "one of the best of all time." This incident set the stage for a series of public exchanges and controversies. The feud escalated with the release of Kanye's song "Famous" in 2016, which included lyrics referencing Taylor. A leaked phone call between Taylor and Kanye sparked further tension, with both sides disputing the nature of their conversation. Kim Kardashian also became involved, defending her husband and sharing the leaked call on Snapchat. Despite brief periods of seeming reconciliation, the feud remains a prominent pop culture narrative.
