Kim Kardashian Thinks Taylor Swift's Reaction to Kanye West's "Bitch" Lyric Is "So Stupid," Source Says


There's bad blood between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift , all right.
In January, Kanye West called Swift to discuss using her name in the song "Famous," off his seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo. The following month, the track premiered at Madison Square Garden in New York City during
 Yeezy Season 3. Almost immediately, West was vilified. "For all my Southside n---as that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex," West, 39, rapped. "Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn) / I made that bitch famous." At the time, West tweeted that he spoke to Swift for an hour over the phone. He said she thought the line was "funny" and "gave her blessings." But Swift was "humiliated," maintaining time and again that she never approved the "I made that bitch famous" lyric associated with her name.
"Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message," her rep said at the time. "Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that bitch famous."
So, when Swift won Album of the Year for 1989 at the 2016 Grammys, she used it as an opportunity to correct West's claimabout her fame. Noting that she is the "first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice," after taking home the award in 2010 for Fearless, she said, "There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. If you just focus on the work, and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you'll know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."
Paparazzi swarmed West at the airport days after Swift's speech, but he offered a diplomatic response. "If you like my music, listen to it," the rapper said. "If you like her music, listen to it."
Aside from a nightclub rant, things quieted down after that.
Then, in GQ's July issue, Kardashian spilled the tea and revealed the phone conversation had been videotaped. "She totally approved that. She totally knew that that was coming out," the reality star alleged. "She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much s--t for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved. What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?"
