Taylor Swift has accused Kim Kardashian West of ‘character assassination’, after the reality television star released a video of a phone conversation in which Swift appears to approve the majority of a controversial line from Kanye West’s song ‘Famous’.
In the controversial song Kanye raps: ‘I made that bitch ‘Taylor Swift’ famous’. Its release was followed by criticism, which Kanye responded to on Twitter in February, saying: ‘I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings.’

The recording of that conversation, which was uploaded to Kardashian’s Snapchat account in a series of roughly-edited snippets, however does not feature Kanye reading out the specific line ‘I made that bitch famous’.
But he does read the rest of the lyric, before asking for Swift’s approval.
Swift released a statement on Instagram soon after Kardashian West uploaded the Snapchat, accusing West of ‘character assassination’.
Swift went on to say that Kanye West promised to play the song for her but she did not hear it before release.
Although Kardashian West has previously said that Swift’s approval of Kanye’s lyric was recorded, Swift has distanced herself from it. On 12 February her representative said that, instead, Swift ‘cautioned him’ about releasing the song.
