Taylor Swift Vindicated as Leaked Kanye West Tape Surfaces

The never-ending saga of Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s long-simmering feud took another turn this weekend, as more leaked footage from their infamous phone call was posted on YouTube. The footage seems to indicate that Swift was telling the truth all along.

Their feud erupted when the West released his song “Famous” in 2016, in which he sang of Swift “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.” Swift took offense when the song was released, but West insisted that he had called her to give her a heads up, and she gave him permission. He tweeted, "I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings."

When Swift’s team denied this claim, West’s wife Kim Kardashian released clips from the phone call on Snapchat, which seemed to indicate that West had indeed given the singer a heads up about the song. Swift continued to insist that he never actually played the full song for her and she didn’t know about the “bitch” line, but the damage from Kardashian’s Snapchat was done.

But now there’s a new twist! Longer footage of the phone call has surfaced, which seems to corroborate Swift’s insistence that she was not warned about that particular lyric.

In the video, West asks Swift to release the song on her Twitter feed and then reads her a version of the “sex” line but makes no mention of the “I made that bitch famous” line.

The hashtags #KanyeWestIsOverParty and #TaylorToldTheTruth began trending after the footage started circulating on social media. Swift hasn’t publicly commented on the latest twist in their feud, but on Saturday she liked some posts on Tumblr, including one captioned “Taylor told the truth mood board.”
