AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift's fans came at Kim Kardashian following the pop singer's bombshell TIME Magazine interview which was released earlier this week. The "Reputation" artist's fandom, known as Swifties, flooded the reality TV star's Instagram comments with snake emojis.
Not stopping there, several fans of the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker also shaded the SKIMS founder. Writing underneath Kim's Instagram post, one said, "You edit this like you edit @taylorswift phone call?" Someone else added, "I hope they boycott you!" Another wrote, "it's been a long time cominggggggg."
The snake emojis were in reference to Kim's tweet back in 2016 amid a feud between Taylor and Kim's then-husband Kanye West. "Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days! [several snake emojis]," "The Kardashians" star said at the time.
Taylor recently revisited her feud with Ye and Kim in her interview with TIME for the magazine's 2023 Person of the Year feature. In the interview, Taylor accused the now-exes of doing a "fully manufactured frame job" in connection to the backlash surrounding the Chicago rapper's 2016 song, "Famous".
"You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar," she said. "That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls."
Taylor further noted, "Make no mistake -- my career was taken away from me... I thought that moment of backlash was going to define me negatively for the rest of my life."
On "Famous", Ye made references to Taylor when rapping, "I made that b***h famous." After Taylor insisted that she never consented to the lyric, Kim released an edited video of a phone call between the musicians that seemed to show the moment when the "Anti-Hero" singer OK'd the line.
The full clip was later revealed, showing that Taylor was actually talking about a different lyric. In the unedited video, after Kanye told Taylor to "brace herself" to hear his proposed line, Taylor asked, "Is it gonna be mean?" Ye replied, "No, I don't think it's mean." He was then heard rapping, "I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex."
In response to that, Taylor laughed and said, "That's not mean." She continued, "It doesn’t feel mean, but like, oh my god, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like, 'That stupid, dumb b***h,' like, but it's not."
