Four years after being branded a snake by well, the entire internet, Taylor Swift is likely feeling just a tad vindicated after this weekend.
And for good reason.
While we were busy curating a self-isolation playlist on Spotify and ordering products so we can pretend we have hobbies, a major development in the roller-coaster that is Kimye vs. Taylor went down.
Throwback to where it all began: The 2009 VMAs. Post continues below video.
The full phone call between Kanye and Taylor about the rapper’s now infamous ‘Famous’ lyrics leaked and it turns out the video released by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2016 that led to Taylor being ‘cancelled’ was… not entirely truthful.
Confused? Lost? Let us unpack it all.
Remind me… what went down in 2016?
In 2016, Kanye released his song ‘Famous’, a song that includes the lines:
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that b*tch famous (God damn)
I made that bitch famous
Obviously, Kanye and Taylor’s history goes back to the 2009 VMAs, when he rushed on stage and took the mic from her hands during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

Damn this feels bad and I'm missing out, I've never had a full-on feud before.
Please for the sake of decency, someone, somewhere. I beg you, feud with me -I'll mention you in my upcoming (clearly best-selling) auto biography
I insulted you! (same insult as reported in this article!) But Mamamia wouldn't publish my comment, I got censored. Sorry, tried my best to start a feud. Alas, it is not meant to be. We shall just have to be friends, ol' buddy, ol' pal.
I hope Kanye's pastor is helping him figure out what his born again Christian faith means for how he should interact and relate to the things he's said and done in the past: he should be able to admit to the things he's done wrong and seek forgiveness, and if anything, I feel it's much more of a litmus test than what he says to his wife about what she wears.
