Taylor Swift slams two face Kanye West, Katy Perry

Taylor Swift has opened up about the moment she realised Kanye West wasn’t who she thought he was, right as she had her arm around the rapper’s wife, Kim Kardashian.

Taylor Swift has spilt all the details about how she fell out with rapper Kanye West.

In a revealing new interview with Rolling Stone, the 29-year-old says she put up with West because she wanted his approval.

West and Swift initially had issues after he jumped on stage at the 2009 VMAs to say that Beyonce actually deserved the award for Best Music Video. The pair made amends but fell out again after he released his song Famous, in which he sung the lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b**ch famous.”

The world didn’t understand the context and the events that led up to it. Because nothing ever just happens like that without some lead-up. Some events took place to cause me to be pissed off when (Kanye) called me a b**ch. That was not just a singular event. Basically, I got really sick of the dynamic between he and I, Swift told Rolling Stone.

I started to feel like we reconnected, which felt great for me — because all I ever wanted my whole career after that thing happened in 2009 was for him to respect me. When someone doesn’t respect you so loudly and says you literally don’t deserve to be here — I just so badly wanted that respect from him.

But the 2015 VMAs come around. He’s getting the Vanguard Award. He called me up beforehand … and he’s like, ‘I really, really would like for you to present this Vanguard Award to me, this would mean so much to me,’ and went into all the reasons why it means so much, because he can be so sweet. He can be the sweetest. And I was so stoked that he asked me that. And so I wrote this speech up, and then we get to the VMAs and I make this speech and he screams, ‘MTV got Taylor Swift up here to present me this award for ratings!

I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body. I realised he is so two-faced. That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk sh*t. And I was so upset. He wanted me to come talk to him after the event in his dressing room. I wouldn’t go.

He sent this big, big thing of flowers the next day to apologise. And I was like, ‘You know what? I really don’t want us to be on bad terms again. So whatever, I’m just going to move past this.’ So when he gets on the phone with me, and I was so touched that he would be respectful and, like, tell me about this one line in the song, she said.

I was like, ‘OK, good. We’re back on good terms.’ And then when I heard the song, I was like, ‘I’m done with this. If you want to be on bad terms, let’s be on bad terms, but just be real about it.

Swift also detailed how she made amends with Katy Perry after what she calls a “miscommunication”.
