In a long-standing controversy, it has been revealed that Taylor Swift is still awaiting an apology from Kim Kardashian for the leaked phone call that took place seven years ago. Despite the passage of time, Kim Kardashian has not expressed remorse for her actions, as per sources familiar with the matter. The incident in question revolves around a notorious phone call between Taylor Swift and Kanye West regarding the song “Famous.”
Key Takeaway
Kim Kardashian has not apologized to Taylor Swift for her involvement in the leaked phone call from 2016. Despite Taylor’s willingness to accept an apology, it must be done publicly. The controversy centers around the use of the word “bitch” in Kanye West’s song “Famous.”
The Controversial Phone Call
In 2016, Kanye West released the song “Famous,” which included a controversial lyric about Taylor Swift. Taylor expressed her outrage at the lyric, but Kim Kardashian released a recorded phone call that seemed to suggest Taylor was aware of the song’s content. However, the full unedited version of the call later proved that Kanye had not disclosed the use of the word “bitch” in the lyrics, which Taylor found offensive.
Kim Kardashian’s Apology
Despite the controversy and subsequent Time article, Kim Kardashian has not apologized to Taylor Swift for her involvement in the leaked phone call. It is worth noting that Taylor Swift remains open to accepting an apology from Kim, but with one condition – it must be done publicly. As one source explained, a public apology is necessary for a public shaming.
A Difference in Perspectives
While Kim Kardashian maintained that Taylor Swift’s knowledge of the song vindicated her and Kanye, Taylor’s primary concern revolved around the use of the word “bitch.” In a GQ piece, Kim downplayed the significance of the term, arguing that it is commonly used in the rap genre. However, Taylor still feels wronged by the framing of the entire situation, emphasizing this sentiment in her TIME interview.
The Future of Their Relationship
Despite Taylor Swift’s willingness to move past the controversy and reconcile with Kim Kardashian, it appears the two women currently have no relationship. Kim has since divorced Kanye West, further complicating the dynamics of the situation. The phone call saga has reignited an old feud that originated from Kanye’s interruption of Taylor’s 2009 VMAs acceptance speech, and it seems that Taylor is not holding her breath for an apology.
