Kim K Faces Backlash From Swifties After TIME Interview đ
Kim Kardashian is facing a backlash from loyal Swifites who are bombarding her social media with Taylor Swift references and asking for a public apology.
Taylor, who was named TIME Magazine's Person of the Year this week, spoke about her long-running feud with Kim and her former husband Kanye West. The pop star revealed how the conflict "took her down psychologically" in a detailed interview.
Kim and Kanye have not responded to Taylor's remarks, and many fans have unfollowed the celebrity in protest.
Taylor's fans also flooded Kim's Instagram with snake emojis and GIFs of Taylor from her sixth album Reputation, where she dissed the reality star in the song "Look What You Made Me Do". They urged the SKIMS founder to address the renewed feud this week.
In her latest post, where Kim advertised her new Skkn products, one fan wrote: "Boycott Kim's businesses. There are plenty of other businesses to support owned by women that don't tear other women down out of jealousy."
Another said: "You owe someone a public and private apology." And a third commented: "Idk why Kims PR team would even attempt to post anything other than an apology right now. They really are coming for you Kim."
The feud between Taylor, Kanye, and Kim started in 2009 when the rapper interrupted Taylor's speech for Video of the Year. He said: "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!"
The feud resumed in 2016 when the rapper released his hit song Famous. In the song, Kanye said "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b**ch famous" - referring to the VMAs incident. Taylor said she did not agree to the lyrics. Kim later joined the drama by posting a Snapchat call between Taylor and Kanye. The call seemed to show that Taylor approved the song Famous, but it was later exposed that the call was edited.
Taylor recently shared how the drama affected her life. She told TIME Magazine this week, almost eight years later: "That took me down psychologically to a place Iâve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didnât leave a rental house for a year," she added: "I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didnât trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard."
