Celebrity conflict

About

Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian's feud began in 2016, following the release of Kanye West's song "Famous," which included lyrics some interpreted as targeting Swift. Kardashian defended her husband, claiming Swift knew about the lyrics before the song's release. She leaked an edited phone call between West and Swift, which sparked a significant social media backlash against Swift, with #KimExposedTaylorParty trending. This led to a public statement from Swift's team, denying she had approved the lyrics. The feud escalated over time, with both sides making public statements. In 2020, a full version of the phone call was leaked, further fueling the controversy. Swift later described the incident as feeling like "career death," highlighting the psychological impact. Despite the drama, both Swift and Kardashian have maintained their public profiles, with Swift continuing to release successful music and Kardashian focusing on her business ventures. The feud remains a notable example of celebrity conflicts played out on social media.
