Kanye West mentions Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce in new Vultures 2 track – amid his ongoing feud with the pop star
A not-so-subtle reference to Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce was made in Kanye West’s new Vultures 2 album amid the rapper’s on-going feud with the pop singer.
In the lyrics of the track Lifestyle (Demo), the line goes: ‘I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.’
The lyrics appear to refer to the singer and her boyfriend, who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Swift, 34, and her boyfriend has not said anything publicly about the reference.
There has been bad blood between Swift and West since the rapper ran on to the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, declaring the honor should have gone to Beyonce instead.
The troubled hip hop artist later spoke her name in 2016’s Famous rapping, ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b**tch famous.’
When the Shake it Off artist objected to the crude lyric, West doubled down and claimed he had received her permission to do so.
His then wife, Kim Kardashian, 43, shared a video of a supposed phone call between the two that it was later revealed, had been edited to back West’s version of events.
The Cruel Summer artist spoke about the impact that scandal had on her in her 2023 Person of the Year interview with Time.
‘That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.’ she said.
‘I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.’
Kardashian later shared on social media that the situation ‘forced me to defend,’ her former husband, whom she divorced in 2021.
Some fans believe Swift buried the hatchet with Kardashian in her song thanK you aIMee
Swift is still in the midst of her epic Eras Tour.
She will begin three nights of shows in Vienna on Thursday, before heading to London for five nights and closing out the European leg of her tour ahead of a much needed rest.
Shows in North America will commence in October.
