Calarugashark Media. Welcome back to feuds, power, pride, and payback.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.079
I'm Marcus Reid. In February twenty twenty five, at the
3
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.640
Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, two of music's biggest superstars
4
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.480
carefully avoided each other inside the Crypto dot com arena.
5
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.079
Taylor Swift, nominated for six awards, walked the red carpet
6
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.679
and Vivian Westwood. Kanye West and his wife Bianca Sensori
7
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.039
made their entrance, then quietly left before the ceremony began.
8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.920
It was a choreographed dance of avoidance, two global icons,
9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.000
ensuring they never occupied the same space, never risked an
10
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.119
awkward encounter that might reignite one of the most toxic
11
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.920
celebrity few it's in modern history. But here's what makes
12
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.000
this moment so extraordinary. It's been fifteen years since this
13
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.280
feud began. Fifteen years since a thirty three year old
14
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.760
rapper interrupted a nineteen year old country singer's acceptance speech
15
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:22.280
and created a cultural flashpoint that's still reverberating today. This
16
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.200
isn't just the story of two artists who can't get along.
17
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.439
This is the story of how a single moment of
18
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.640
public humiliation became a decade and a half war fought
19
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.159
across award shows, social media platforms, and song lyrics, a
20
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:44.079
war that's involved secret recordings, character assassination, and some of
21
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:51.599
the most sophisticated reputation destruction campaigns in entertainment history. This
22
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:59.599
is episode six the Fifteen Year War, Act one, the
23
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:06.120
Original Sin September thirteenth, two thousand and nine, Radio City
24
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.479
Music Hall, New York City, the MTV Video Music Awards.
25
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.879
Taylor Swift was nineteen years old, a country crossover starr
26
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.960
whose album Fearless had made her a mainstream phenomenon. She'd
27
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.879
been nominated for Best Female Video for You Belong with Me,
28
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.560
a sweet, relatable song about unrequited love that had connected
29
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.680
with millions of fans. When her name was called, beating
30
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.039
out Beyonce's single Ladies, Swift walked to the stage with
31
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.319
the genuine excitement of someone still amazed to be there.
32
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.680
She thanked her fans, her label, started to express her
33
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.280
gratitude for an award she'd dreamed of winning. Then Kanye
34
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.000
West happened. The rapper who'd been drinking backstage suddenly appeared
35
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.719
beside her. He grabbed the microphone from her hands and
36
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.400
delivered the words that would define both their careers for
37
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.960
the next decade and a half. Yo, Taylor, I'm really
38
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.840
happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish. But
39
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.120
Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,
40
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.280
one of the best videos of all time. The crowd booed,
41
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:23.639
Beyonce looked horrified, Kanye shrugged, handed the microphone back to
42
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.000
Swift and walked off stage, leaving a stunned teenager standing
43
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.840
alone under the lights. What happened next revealed something crucial
44
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.599
about Taylor Swift's character and about the nature of public
45
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.120
humiliation in the social media age. Swift, confused by the
46
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.080
crowd's reaction, thought they were booing her. It was so
47
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.599
echoey in there, she would later recall in her documentary
48
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.800
Miss Americana. At the time, I didn't know they were
49
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.759
booing him doing that. I thought that they were booing me.
50
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.080
For someone who's built their whole belief system on getting
51
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.199
people to clap for you, the crowd booing is a
52
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.879
pretty formative experience. Later that night, when Beyonce won Video
53
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.719
of the Year, she graciously invited Swift back on stage
54
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.719
to finish her speech. It was a moment of sisterhood
55
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.600
and redemption. But the damage was done. The incident was
56
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:24.199
already becoming viral, memified and endlessly replayed. President Barack Obama
57
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.959
called Kanye a jackass, Celebrities rallied around Swift. The narrative
58
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.800
was clear, the established male artist had bullied the young
59
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.759
female newcomer and America wouldn't stand for it. But for Kanye,
60
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.519
the humiliation was just beginning. He became a pariah overnight,
61
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.759
his reputation as hip hop's most important voice suddenly overshadowed
62
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.079
by his reputation as the man who made Taylor Swift
63
00:04:52.199 --> 00:05:05.360
cry on national television. Act two the apology tour. In
64
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.600
the aftermath of the VMAs, Kanye tried everything to rehabilitate
65
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.920
his image. He appeared on the Jay Leno Show two
66
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:17.319
days later, offering what seemed like a genuine apology. It
67
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.920
was rude, period, he said. I don't try to justify
68
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.519
it because I was in the wrong dealing with the
69
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.879
fact that I hurt someone or took anything away from
70
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.560
a talented artist, because I only wanted to help people
71
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.000
my entire life. I've only wanted to do and give
72
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.360
something that I felt was right and I immediately knew
73
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.639
in this situation that it was wrong. He called Swift
74
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.839
personally to apologize. She accepted, telling ABC Radio, Kanye did
75
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.040
call me, and he was very sincere in his apology,
76
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.480
and I accepted that apology. When Swift hosted Saturday Night
77
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.800
Live two months later, she addressed the incident with characteristic grace.
78
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.279
You might be expecting me to say something bad about
79
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.800
Kanye and how he ran up on the stage and
80
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.720
ruined my VM a monologue, But there's nothing more to
81
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.879
say because everything's okay. But everything wasn't okay, not for Taylor,
82
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.000
who would spend years processing the trauma of that public humiliation,
83
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.600
and not for Kanye, who felt the incident had been
84
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.160
blown out of proportion and that he'd been unfairly vilified
85
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.600
for speaking what he saw as the truth. In September
86
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.720
twenty ten, a year after the incident, Kanye posted a
87
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.040
lengthy Twitter apology. I wrote a song for Taylor Swift
88
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.560
that's so beautiful, and I want her to have it.
89
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.680
If she won't take it, then I'll perform it for her.
90
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.160
She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows.
91
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.199
She had no idea what hit her. She's just a
92
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.000
little girl with dreams like the rest of us. She
93
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.079
deserves the apology more than anyone. Thank you, Bay for
94
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.120
being so gracious. Thank you Taylor. I'm sorry, Taylor. That
95
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.800
same night, Swift premiered Innocent at the v m A's,
96
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.120
a song widely interpreted as her response to Kanye. The
97
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.680
lyrics seem to offer forgiveness. I guess you really did
98
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.120
it this time. Left yourself in your war path, lost
99
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.160
your balance on a tight rope, lost your mind trying
100
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.279
to get it back. It's all right, just wait and see.
101
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.639
Your string of lights is still bright to me. Who
102
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.879
you are is not what you did. You're still an innocent.
103
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.319
It appeared the feud was over. Both had moved on,
104
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.639
learned from the experience, grown as artists and people. They
105
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:55.399
had no idea the worst was yet to come. Act
106
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.319
three the false Piece. For the next five years, Swift
107
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.399
and West existed in separate orbits. Swift became the biggest
108
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.160
pop star in the world, transitioning from country to mainstream
109
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.759
with Red and nineteen eighty nine. Kanye continued pushing hip
110
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.959
hop forward with My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy and Yeseus,
111
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.519
cementing his status as one of music's most important artists.
112
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.199
In twenty fifteen, they even appeared to reconcile publicly. When
113
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.800
Swift won the Video Vanguard Award at the VMA's the
114
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.679
same award show where their feud began. She invited Kanye
115
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.159
to present it to her. He did, making jokes about
116
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.200
their history and seemingly putting it behind them. I'm very
117
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.879
happy for Taylor. This is her moment, he said, echoing
118
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.559
his infamous two thousand nine interruption, but with kindness instead
119
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:57.799
of cruelty. They hugged on stage. The crowd cheered. The
120
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:04.159
narrative was complete, had become friends, Growth and forgiveness had
121
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:09.200
triumphed over pride and resentment. But behind the scenes, a
122
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.200
different story was developing. Kanye was working on his album
123
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.279
The Life of Pablo, and he had plans for Taylor
124
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.679
Swift that would destroy any chance of genuine peace between them.
125
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.360
In early twenty sixteen, Kanye called Swift to discuss a
126
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.360
song he was working on, a song that would reference
127
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.600
her in lyrics. According to what would later become the
128
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.639
most controversial phone call in music history, Swift gave some
129
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.320
level of approval to Kanye's plans. What she didn't know
130
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.759
was that the call was being recorded, and what she
131
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.879
couldn't have imagined was how those recordings would be edited, manipulated,
132
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.360
and weaponized against her in a way that would make
133
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.399
the two thousand and nine VMAs look like a minor disagreement.
134
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:12.000
Act four, the Nuclear Option. February eleventh, twenty sixteen, Kanye
135
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.960
released Famous, the fourth track on the Life of Pablo.
136
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.720
The song contained a line that would reignite their feud
137
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.600
and escalate it to nuclear levels. I feel like me
138
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.519
and Taylor might still have sex. Why I made that
139
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.679
bitch famous? Swift's camp immediately pushed back, saying she'd never
140
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:36.480
approved the lyric and found it misogynistic. Her publicist released
141
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.799
a statement Kanye did not call for approval, but to
142
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.679
ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account.
143
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.840
She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with
144
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.639
such a strong misogynistic message. Kanye fired back on Twitter.
145
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.360
I called Taylor and had an hour long convo with
146
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.840
her about the line, and she thought it was funny
147
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.240
and gave her blessings that he said. She said was
148
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.480
exactly the kind of celebrity drama that social media was
149
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:12.200
designed to amplify, but then Kim Kardashian entered the chat.
150
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.840
In a July twenty sixteen interview with GQ, Kim said
151
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.360
she totally approved that She totally knew that that was
152
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.720
coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act
153
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.639
like she didn't. The accusation was devastating that Swift was lying,
154
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:37.279
playing victim, manipulating the narrative for sympathy, but Kim wasn't done.
155
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:43.320
She had receipts. On July seventeenth, twenty sixteen, Kim posted
156
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.480
a series of videos to Snapchat that appeared to show
157
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.559
Swift and Kanye on the phone, with Swift seemingly approving
158
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.679
the famous lyrics. In the edited clips, Swift could be
159
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:59.240
heard saying the controversial line wasn't mean and expressing relief
160
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.200
that Kanye w was wasn't calling her that dumb bitch.
161
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.159
The videos went viral instantly, Taylor Swift as over party
162
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:12.720
began trending worldwide. Snake emoji's flooded swift social media accounts,
163
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.080
the symbol of someone who lies, who can't be trusted,
164
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.080
who deceives people while pretending to be innocent. Swift tried
165
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.519
to fight back, posting a notes app screenshot to Instagram.
166
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.399
Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was
167
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.519
going to call me that bitch in his song? It
168
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.960
doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to
169
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.519
control someone's emotional response to being called that bitch in
170
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.080
front of the entire world. But it was too late.
171
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.879
The narrative had shifted. Swift, who'd built her career on
172
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.480
authenticity and relatability, was now seen as a calculated liar
173
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.039
who tried to play victim when caught in her manipulation.
174
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:03.519
The backlash was swift and brutal. Sales dropped, concert attendance fell,
175
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.000
her social media became a toxic wasteland of snake emojis
176
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.159
and accusations. For the first time in her career, Taylor
177
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:26.840
Swift was genuinely canceled Act five the Reputation era. Instead
178
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.879
of retreating, Swift did something unprecedented in celebrity culture. She
179
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.480
leaned into the villain narrative. Her twenty seventeen album Reputation
180
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.159
opened with Look What You Made Me Do, a song
181
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.440
that directly addressed the feud and reclaimed the snake imagery
182
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:49.720
that had been used against her. The album's esthetic was dark, defiant, unapologetic,
183
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.240
Swift had been painted as a snake, so she became one,
184
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.399
but on her own terms. The tour featured giant, inflatable
185
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:04.000
snakes and stage designs that turned her cancelation into empowerment.
186
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.840
But perhaps the most telling song on the album was
187
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.639
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, which included
188
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.840
a voice memo of Swift saying, and here's to my
189
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.919
real friends. They don't care about he said, she said,
190
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.440
And here's to my baby, he ain't reading what they
191
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.720
call me lately. And here's to my Mamma had to
192
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:30.320
listen to all this drama. The song captured something crucial
193
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.159
about the entire feud, how it had consumed not just
194
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:40.799
Swift and Kanye, but every one around them, Families, friends, fans,
195
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.600
all drawn into a conflict that had spiraled far beyond
196
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:58.320
its original causes. Act six the Vindication. For four years,
197
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.559
the narrative held Taylor had lied, Kim had exposed her,
198
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.279
justice had been served. But in March twenty twenty, everything changed.
199
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.519
The full unedited recording of the Kanye Taylor phone call
200
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:17.440
leaked online, and it revealed something shocking. Swift had been
201
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.679
telling the truth all along. The complete conversation showed that
202
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:25.240
while Swift had approved being mentioned in the song, she'd
203
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.679
never heard the specific line I made that bitch famous.
204
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.080
Kanye had only told her about a different lyric. Entirely,
205
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000
the clips Kim had posted were strategically edited to make
206
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.720
Swift look dishonest when she'd actually been the victim of
207
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:45.720
a coordinated deception campaign. The vindication was complete, but it
208
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.240
came at enormous personal cost. In a twenty twenty three
209
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.399
interview with Time magazine, Swift revealed the psychological toll of
210
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.519
the incident. You have a fully manufactured frame job in
211
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.399
an illegally recorded phone call which Kim Kardashian edited and
212
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.399
then put out to say to everyone that I was
213
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.759
a liar That took me down psychologically to a place
214
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.559
I've never been before. But she also showed she'd learned
215
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.320
to let go of the anger. I've also learned there's
216
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.320
no point in actively trying to quote unquote defeat your enemies.
217
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:28.480
Trash takes itself out every single time. Act seven, The
218
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:36.559
Eternal Return. The twenty twenty vindication should have ended the feud.
219
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.519
Swift had been proven right, Kanye and Kim had been
220
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.159
exposed as manipulative. Justice had been served, but this is
221
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.960
a story about pride, and pride doesn't follow the rules
222
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.799
of logic or justice. In April twenty twenty four, Swift
223
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.080
released The Tortured Poet's Department, which included a song called
224
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:03.600
Thank You Amy. The capitalization was intentional. The letters spelled
225
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.839
out K I M, making it clear this was Swift's
226
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.400
response to Kardashian's rule in the twenty sixteen character assassination.
227
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:17.680
The song was both vindictive and gracious, thanking her tormentor
228
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.359
for making her stronger while making it clear she hadn't
229
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.400
forgotten all that time you were throwing punches. I was
230
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.759
building something and I can't forgive the way you made
231
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:32.480
me feel. Screamed Fuck you Amy to the night sky
232
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.079
as the blood ran down. But I can't forget the
233
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:41.240
way you made me heal. Another song, Cassandra, seemed to
234
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.640
reference the experience of being called a liar when telling
235
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:50.039
the truth. So they killed Cassandra first cause she feared
236
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.680
the worst and tried to tell the town. So they
237
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.799
filled my cell with snakes. I regret to say, do
238
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:03.839
you believe me? Now? Kanye's responses have been increasingly erratic.
239
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:09.279
In February twenty twenty four, he released Carnival, which contained
240
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:14.519
sexually explicit lyrics about Swift. In August twenty twenty four,
241
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.720
his song Lifestyle targeted both Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelcey.
242
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:25.319
Most bizarrely, in February twenty twenty five, one day before
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:16.239
2
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.079

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.640

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.079
6
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.679
7
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.039
8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.920
9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.000
