Ever since their feud began at the 2009 MTV VMAs, Taylor Swift and Kayne West have been subtly — and not so subtly — referencing each other in their music
‘Cause baby we’ve always got bad blood when it comes to Taylor Swift and Kanye West.
While all was peaceful for a few years — Swift even presented West with the Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs — things took a turn when West dropped The Life of Pablo in 2016. On the track “Famous,” the rapper called Swift a “bitch” who he “made famous.” He later claimed via X that he had an “hour long convo with about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings.”
While the duo laid off referencing each other in their music for a few years, they both seemingly returned to the drama for their 2024 records, Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department and West’s album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 1.‘Innocent’ Despite his mistakes, Swift’s chorus offers forgiveness — and even words of wisdom — for West in the chorus.
“But you stabbed me in the back while shakin' my hand / And therein lies the issue, friends don't try to trick you / Get you on the phone and mind-twist you,” she explains, seemingly referencing the infamous phone call between the duo. “And so I took an axe to a mended fence.” “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time / Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time,” she sings in the chorus, announcing her return to the music game. “I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined . I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!”
“How many days did I spent thinking / ‘Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong? / Lived in the shade you were throwing / 'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone,” Swift croons in the upbeat first track, possibly referencing West. “And I couldn't get away from you . In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah / Your name on my lips, tongue-tied / Free rent, living in my mind.”
