After Feuding With Taylor Swift For Years, Now Kanye West Says They Have Something In Common

Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s historical past has been greater than fraught. While they’re two fully totally different artists, they’ve crossed paths a number of instances over time. Due to a laundry list of complicated interactions between Swift and West, the 2 haven’t been on the very best of phrases. However, it appears to be like like lately West has recognized frequent floor between him and Swift and voiced this in an Instagram story. 

The Instagram publish comes as a shock, as Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s final public interplay was years in the past, and fewer than optimistic. In this publish, nonetheless, he identifies with Swift in her plight to personal her personal music catalog. He references how his personal grasp catalog is being purchased with out his consent as nicely: 

The “You Belong with Me” singer signed with Big Machine Records when she was simply a young person. She recorded six studio albums with the label however signed with Republic Records in 2018 so she may personal the rights to her personal music. The similar yr, Big Machine bought the rights to the songstress’ first six albums to Ithaca Holdings, which is owned by Scooter Braun — who Swift had a destructive relationship with. Not desirous to be sure by Braun’s management over her grasp catalog, she is in the process of re-recording her first six albums in order that she will personal all of her music. So clearly, she isn’t the one one upset about her lack of management over her personal materials. 

This is a transparent similarity between the 2 artists, Ye mentioning Taylor Swift on his social media may be very notable. Their feud began in 2008 when Kanye West hopped on stage to interrupt her VMA acceptance speech. The two appeared to reconcile when Swift introduced West with the Video Vanguard Award on the 2015 VMAs. However, this reconciliation was soured when West used the “August” singer’s title in a derogatory method in his track, “Famous.” Swift was vocally upset about this, and West’s then-wife Kim Kardashian launched a video displaying Swift permitted West’s utilization of her title within the track. Years later, it got here out that the video “proof” was doctored and Swift was not absolutely conscious of how her title can be used. The entire incident inspired Swift’s sixth studio album, Reputation.

Kanye West’s use of social media as of late has been extremely publicized and controversial. He has obtained backlash as a result of outbursts in opposition to Kim Kardashian and his former in-laws. He also fired shots at Pete Davidson whereas the comic dated Kardashian. 

However, this current Instagram publish looks as if a unique flip for the rapper. Instead of going after somebody, he’s discovering a kinship together with her by way of a shared expertise. Maybe that is his method of reaching out to Taylor Swift attempting to heal previous wounds. I’m undecided if Swift might be receptive, as she has stated that her feud with West was emotionally damaging. However, Swift has famously reconciled with individuals prior to now, so something is feasible. Maybe Swift may even encourage West to re-record his personal grasp catalog. That can be fairly iconic. 

Both of their followers might be anxiously awaiting any developments relating to these two however, within the meantime, Taylor Swift might be releasing her tenth studio album, Midnights, on October twenty first. In addition, Jeen-Yuhs — a documentary sequence about Kanye West’s rise to fame — is at the moment streaming for Netflix subscribers.
