Kim Kardashian was criticized because she was the main reason why Taylor Swift’s career ‘almost collapsed’ in 2016

On Kim Kardashian’s social media accounts, fans continuously flood comments with snake emojis, expressing outrage over the events from seven years ago, writing: “Apologize to Taylor,” “Your actions had a severe impact on Taylor’s mentаl well-being. Your words and deeds have consequences, own up to them if you want respect.”

Fans of the singer were incensed after Time published an article honoring her as the Person of the Year on December 6th. In it, Taylor recounted her dark times, saying: “My career was stripped away. I’ve never felt such a collapse in my spirits. I moved to another country, didn’t leave my rented house for a year, afraid to answer the phone. I distanced myself from almost everyone because I didn’t trust anyone.”

Taylor further elaborated that after many years, she learned a lesson: “It doesn’t meаn anything to try to defeat your enemies. Trаsh always takes itself out.”

The incident that led to Taylor’s downfall involved Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the rapper’s wife at the time. In the song “Famous” (2016), Kanye wrote: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sеx. Why? I made that b***h famous.” The rapper claimed Taylor had agreed to the lyrics, but she denied it.

Later, Kim released a 25-minute video of the conversation between the two artists. In the video, Kanye discussed the lyrics with Taylor, but didn’t mention the phrase “that b***h.” She reacted positively to the line and suggested Kanye should send her the song when it’s finished for consideration. The released version of “Famous” with Taylor’s part differed from their exchange, causing Taylor’s frustration.

The singer stated that Kim illegаlly recorded the conversation. In California, recording or eavesdropping without the consent of all parties involved in the conversation is illegаl. According to Taylor, the recorded segment was edited and staged by Kim, portraying her as deceitful. Following the incident, there was a period where both the media and the audience criticized Taylor as a snake, implying a treacherous nature.

According to Rolling Stone in September 2019, Kanye and Kim had a duplicitous relationship with the singer, trying to win her over privately but speaking ill of her in public. In the same year, on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kim claimed she had moved past the scаndаl and no longer harbored resentment toward Taylor. Three years later, the entrepreneur expressed her fondness for the singer’s music, saying: “I love so many of her songs. They’re all cute and catchy.”
