Taylor Swift's snakey message to Kim Kardashian on their Twitter leak anniversary
It has been two years since, Kim Kardashian West leaked a private phone call between Taylor Swift and her husband Kanye West.
On Tuesday, Swift fans swamped the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s Twitter account decorating it with snake and rat emojis, asking the baby mumma, 37, to finally end their feud and apologise to the Grammy award winner after so many years.
Hashtags such as, #KimApologizetoTaylor and #TaylorSwiftWonParty are now trending as the “Bad Blood” singer, 28, stepped out in New York City wearing, yep, a snake-themed bodysuit.
The superstar can be seen wearing platform leather boots, a custom colourful Fausto Puglisi romper and a faux-snakeskin Kate Spade backpack.
One fan tweeted: “#KimApologizeToTaylor you shamed a woman for doing nothing but living her own life and many death threats and online bullying ‘jokes’ ensued,” wrote one fan. “As a grown woman you should apologize for causing the hate that taylor swift has been receiving from late 2017 to present day.”
One of Swift’s oldest friends, Ashley Avignone, also voiced her support on Twitter by mimicking Kardashian West’s 2016 tweet, writing: “Wait it’s legit National #KimApologizeToTaylor Day?!?!? They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!”
Swift opened up on her Reputation tour, about going through a “low” point in her life insinuating that it had something to do with the hostility from the Wests, suggesting that it happened “a couple of years ago”.
“Someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on. And then a lot of people called me a lot of names on social media,” Swift told her audience before singing “Long Live.” “And I went through some really low times for a while because of it. I went through some times when I didn’t know if I was gonna get to do this anymore and I guess the snakes … I wanted to send a message to you guys that if someone uses name calling to bully you on social media and even if a lot of people jump on board with it, that doesn’t have to beat you. It can strengthen you instead.”
After Swift's announcement of her new album last year, Kim banned commenters from using the snake emoji on her social media. As two years ago, the reality star leaked edited clips of a conversation between the “Look What You Made Me Do” pop star and her husband, Kanye, 41, as "proof" that Swift had approved of his “Famous” lyrics about her, which she, in fact, did not.
Swift was humiliated and condemned on social media, so she hit back on Instagram stating that West had never told her he was going to call her “that bitch” in the song. “You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world,” she wrote. “He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.”
Snakey move Kimmy K, but it looks like Swift beat you to your look today, we think it's time to finally call it a truce and just apologise.
