What do you make of the latest Taylor Swift drama? This time featuring secret recordings, the Kardashians and snakes!

In short: http://www.vox.com/2016/7/18/12210858/kim-kardashian-taylor-swift-snapchat-kanye-west

Posted by: liamk97 18th July 2016, 04:30 PM

I keep seeing article headlines but I've no idea what has actually happened, but the fact of the matter is I don't really care and I'm bored of the media constantly getting at Taylor, regardless of whether it is 'justified' or not.

Posted by: Andr00w 18th July 2016, 04:35 PM

I've seen the supposed 'truth' video and it seems like there's a LOT of editing and cut-out bits and I don't see why Kim would put this up now when the song was released three months ago

Posted by: meme 18th July 2016, 04:36 PM

Not even interested anymore - we've established the fact Taylor is an idiot by now, she's a complete waste of media space and my time

Posted by: Cody Collins 18th July 2016, 04:37 PM

I don't know what to think. It's all just a giant mess, like I never thought just one Kanye song would cause so much madness in Hollywood. We stopped caring about the whole Taylor vs. Kanye thing five years ago, and now it's comeback just because of one f*cking song?

Posted by: Ryan. 18th July 2016, 04:39 PM

I think while there is truth to what Taylor is claiming, even I admit there is a chance that she did slightly manipulate the situation to benefit her further. Nevertheless, what I am seeing on social media is absolutely disgusting with millions of people absolutely loving that they can tweet #TaylorIsOverParty or whatever the latest horrible hashtag is. It is so nasty and horrible to watch, all of these Twitter trolls need to realise Taylor is an actual human being and not just a internet construct for people to bully. And why was Kim filming a private phone call? If Taylor is a "snake" then Kim is just as much.

However I think what was even worse was what happened between Khloe and Chloe Grace Moretz as a spin-off from the Taylor drama, Khloe was so nasty and I'm glad Chloe dealt with it so well.

Posted by: Regina 18th July 2016, 04:39 PM

I am loving it tbh, about time Taylor was knocked down a peg or 5.

Posted by: HarryEzra 18th July 2016, 04:46 PM

This is a giant Mess and honestly I can see both sides oops tho

Demi getting involved tho

Posted by: Silas 18th July 2016, 04:48 PM

This seems rather overhyped given that it's source is a Kardashian. I'm wholly untrusting of that clan, everything they do and say is carefully orchestrated to suit their own agenda (all celebs are the same but the Kardashians have taken it to a whole new level

Posted by: Cody Collins 18th July 2016, 04:52 PM

I am fully on Team CGM. There are people on the other side of the country, let alone the world, who have lost their families, their homes, and some even their lives, and all we're gonna talk about is THIS? Every single day something bad happens and we spend the rest of the day praying for that city/state/country/whatever until something bad happens to another city/state/country/whatever. Celebrities shouldn't be wasting their times exposing one another, recording private phone calls and posting pictures of another's butthole. There are other things that they could be doing in their life.

Posted by: HarryEzra 18th July 2016, 04:53 PM

This tbh

Posted by: Bré 18th July 2016, 04:53 PM

It is video evidence, a bit hard to dispute!

Taylor claiming now that she never wanted to be a part of the Kanye/Taylor 'narrative' is laughable. Kanye was a dick to her first but she's lost any sympathy I ever had for her

(Famous people are twats in general though so this is not really news)

Posted by: *Tim 18th July 2016, 04:54 PM

Well tbh, if Taylor were to spread lies about someone and I had proof that they were lies, I'd expose as well. You can't really blame her

Posted by: HausofKubrick 18th July 2016, 05:00 PM

I don't really like this argument. Like it could be applied to ANY AND EVERYTHING. Why are you posting on Buzzjack when people are dieing!!1 I don't mean to make it flippant but the two aren't related imo. I do agree that there are more important things to worry about yes but it doesn't mean less important and more trivial things won't ever happen and people won't care about them!

My favourite thing is definitely Demi getting involved though she's like the one in class that loves to get involved in everything and everyone let's her because she's a bit slow and needs to feel involved.

Posted by: #00274E 18th July 2016, 05:03 PM

i feel like this is a good bit of light relief tho? like with everything shitty happening right now it's fun to have something like this to trivialise

Posted by: *Tim 18th July 2016, 05:08 PM

omg Demon always has to but her big ass nose in everything while she stays reaching for that next top 10 hit

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 18th July 2016, 05:14 PM

Why should I care about what Taylor Swift is doing when:

1) There are people dying every day around the world due to terrorist attacks

2) The United Kingdom is falling apart

3) I've got my own personal stuff to think about

4) Her music is and always has been SHIT

Posted by: *Tim 18th July 2016, 05:16 PM

Nobody asked or forced you to care tho

Posted by: Devan 18th July 2016, 05:19 PM

Yass Kim expose that two faced faux goody goody.

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 18th July 2016, 05:21 PM

Are you her son or something? what's with the defensive responsive?

Posted by: *Tim 18th July 2016, 05:24 PM

I don't even like Taylor or Kim what are you on about

I'm just saying. You clicked a thread about this, knowing you weren't interested, yet continued to write how much you didn't care.
It makes no sense to me, there's nothing defensive about my statement, I jsut merely stated that you could've easily ignored the thread

Posted by: Bré 18th July 2016, 05:25 PM

Yeah if you're not interested then you don't need to comment in the thread about it. Lol x

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 18th July 2016, 05:28 PM

Really? why didn't you tell that to liamk97 and meme as well? was I the only person in this thread who said that they didn't care about the issues going on with Taylor Swift?

Posted by: Klumzee 18th July 2016, 05:28 PM

Honestly the reason why people are latching onto this is because it is welcome break from all the 'real drama' happening in the world, plus everyone loves a bit of juicy gossip that's just human nature. Still find it a bit weird how Kim was snapchatting that conversation and had it saved but whatever!

Posted by: *Tim 18th July 2016, 05:30 PM

omg stop trying to make yourself a victim, this wasn't a personal attack.

You listed the 4 points so your post stood more out, it's really not this deep

Posted by: Cody Collins 18th July 2016, 05:36 PM

Yeah I kinda do see that side of the argument as well which is why I still think it's kinda ridiculous that this argument was blown up to the grandiose scale that it's in currently. Plus I don't wanna give more attention to anything the Kardashians are doing so yeah.

Sorry if all of that came out all "social justice warrior", I just felt that I needed to state how ridiculously out of proportion this has been.
The thing that got to me the most was Bieber's random ass Instagram video.

Posted by: Oliver 18th July 2016, 05:42 PM

What has Demi said, missed her input!

Posted by: HarryEzra 18th July 2016, 05:46 PM

She liked a tweet saying 'I LOVE KIM KARDISHIAN'

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th July 2016, 06:07 PM

From what I've heard from some respected music industry insiders she sounds like a pretty vindictive, mean and calculating person so none of these revelations surprise me at all really. I thought Neil Tennant described her best as 'the Mrs Thatcher of pop music' - she only cares about the money (and fame) at the end of the day.

Posted by: T Boy 18th July 2016, 06:14 PM

I'm failing my class in useless celebrity infantile behaviour gossip. Can someone tell me what's going on in layman' terms?

Posted by: Devan 18th July 2016, 06:15 PM

Kim just destroyed Taylors beige white girl persona.

Posted by: Liаm 18th July 2016, 06:20 PM

Taylor needs to stop being a twat really and should've just left things secret like the TIWYCF co-write and shouldn't have been so militant about Famous' lyrics when she was lying all along. Sometimes you just say nothing or if you lie like this it comes back to bite you in the ass. Having said that it is a bit odd that Kim recorded this in the first place and had it there ready and waiting to use when she wanted a bit of attention As for Kanye he needs as little of that as possible.

I am fed up of the media always being at her though, like yea this time it's probably justified but I think it's ridiculous when people come for her and accuse every relationship she has of being a media ploy as if she's the only celebrity to date other celebrities. Same goes for Kim most of the time, she can never do anything right and imo she hasn't really done anything THAT bad and it's hardly her fault that people react to her the way they do and give her the attention to make her famous. She likes the attention, but so do a hell of a lot of famous people.

I don't actually really care that much though I still love Taylor's music which is the main thing for me and it is a rather petty saga.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 18th July 2016, 07:18 PM

I don't know why people are saying Kim is in the wrong for recording the call. She obviously suspected something like this would happen and what do you know it DOES so good on her for being so media savvy and getting evidence ready before the inevitable backtrack from Taylor.

Posted by: Umi 18th July 2016, 07:33 PM

Yeah, it was just clever on her part. If I were in her position I doubt I'd have thought to record the call, but her having the foresight to do so should be commended rather than condemned. She obviously didn't trust Taylor.

Posted by: Atonement 18th July 2016, 07:36 PM

omgg I love Taylor being outed by Kim K and Calvin Harris in such a short amount of time. Who knew Kim could be of use! I used to hate Swift irrationally but now I feel like I have a valid reason to dislike her. Even back then I loved it when Kanye West stole her moment at whatever Award Show it was.

That said, 'All Too Well' is still an amazingly written song though. But Taylor and the rest of her discography should disappear.

Posted by: Totto 18th July 2016, 07:39 PM

I don't really know what's happening. But as long she's getting exposed it's fine by me.

Posted by: Totto 18th July 2016, 07:40 PM

Drag... ha.

Posted by: Jonjo 18th July 2016, 07:42 PM

Luckily I can separate the person form the music, enough. '1989' is still (almost) flawless and a couple of other singles here and there are jams too, but I'm just happy now that there's basically PROOF of Taylor being the person I've always thought she was. I've hated this whole "squad" thing the most though.. It's a shame that someone so talented is so vindictive and calculating.

My favourite part of it all is knowing that it's all fallen on "National Snake Day", apparently!

Posted by: Kye 18th July 2016, 11:33 PM

^ I feel the same. Her music is great, great pop music and (if she actually does write them) then she's a brilliant pop writer.

But there is no denying that she is the 'Mean Girl' and always has been. Sometimes you just get a sense about people and she got me from day 1.
It's nice to see her being dragged. I know that's horrible because "she's a human" but she didn't care when she was the one doing it to Katy.
She made millions out of saying Katy was mean to her.. when it's almost certain Katy just didn't want to join her clique and she screamed like a brat and vowed revenge!

I mean, if you read some of the stuff about Taylor-Nation, it's actually scary how her team have controlled all of this amazing press about her for so long.
But when you see that they were deleting fan's videos because they hadn't paid royalties, how they were taking pictures down because Taylor wouldn't make money..
And I read an article featuring a reporter that sort-of infiltrated the Taylor Clique for a while, but when she was kinda negative about something they froze her out of parties and basically blacklisted her.. She's ruthless.

And so this really couldn't be happening to a nicer popstar.. She's a dreadful person.

Posted by: Tyler 19th July 2016, 04:29 AM

I love how we call our pop stars, like Britney Spears, names for having a mental breakdown after being built up just to be torn down by our society. Yet, we have adults calling Swift a role model. Want to see a good hearted person that has been repeatedly kicked when down by others, yet never responds to the hate? Go look at Britney.

But, everyone loves Taylor for dating and publicly bashing several of her exes with her music. And I don't want to hear the artistic expression excuse, your personal business with another person is not the publics business. Kanye West is a sack of moldy shit, but, at least we know that about him. If anything he did her a favor by being a dumb ass on the VMA's. That was the event that took her from teen star to a household name. But, props to her for keeping that act together for so long. I bring up Britney Spears only because she is a southern girl turned icon that even at the edge of death has stayed humble and kind. It seems to me Taylor has tried to emulate her 'girl next door/ not so innocent / lovable', personality. Except Taylor is doing it for sales, not because she is. Think of all the feuds Britney could have addressed to make her gain more publicity. Justin, Christina, Jessica Simpson, Fred Durst... But, has she ever even addressed those things? No! Taylor may be more vocally talented but she isn't even close to the kind hearted person Britney is. She is just marketed to corner that same market Britney no longer has a monopoly on. Because icons with good hearts usually don't exist. Just my two cents.

Posted by: danG 19th July 2016, 08:38 AM

I'm not siding with Taylor on this (I think it's good that she's getting exposed for lying), but this video does give an interesting take on the story - in that by recording the phone call without telling her it was being recorded is in fact illegal, so Kim K isn't exactly a saint in this either.

Posted by: #00274E 19th July 2016, 10:32 AM

plus most artists record all of their studio sessions as a way of being able to look back at ideas and use the footage at a later date so it's not like they singled out this Taylor phonecall anyway

Never has one person achieved so much with so very little talent.

Posted by: Tyler 19th July 2016, 06:25 PM

She can't sue for being recorded because Kimye recorded it in New York. New York does not require both parties approval to publish a recording, just the person recording it.

Posted by: burbe 19th July 2016, 08:41 PM

Kimye and Taylor are in cahoots with each other to cause a media frenzy and as much publicity as possible for each other? You'll see when they "make up" again in a year's time and are suddenly BFFs again

Posted by: Tyler 19th July 2016, 09:06 PM

What happened??

Posted by: princess_lotti 19th July 2016, 09:17 PM

kat von d completely disassociated herself from endorsing him or his brand (https://www.instagram.com/p/BIB_jIRBAmR/) and has just released a 13 min video as to WHY which i am currently watching

Posted by: Martyn 19th July 2016, 09:26 PM

I find Taylor a bag of contradictions. She doesn't like when people come for her, but will happily go after others. Oh a woman should never betray another woman, or bad mouth another woman.... Have you heard my new song where I tear a fellow woman to shreds?

Posted by: Silas 19th July 2016, 09:52 PM

Various outlets are reporting it as being recorded in LA

Posted by: Tyler 19th July 2016, 10:10 PM

And oh! Well, in that case Swift will probably win. What a c**t if she does though. Sick of her, TBH.

So is that DNCE diss song about Taylor gonna come up or

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd January 2017, 01:53 AM

Hmm... What do you guys think?

https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliegerstein/people-are-going-in-on-taylor-swifts-womens-march-tweet?bffbobsessed&utm_term=.xcoLWJaBe#.aadaMKoGJ

Some people have gone in hard on her. But, I did find that tweet a bit "you serious?" when I first saw it myself last night. Just because I can't get passed just how hypocritical she is. Some of these tweets are harsh, but they have valid points. I don't mind that she wasn't there marching if she couldn't due to work etc... I saw a lot of other celebs say (paraphrasing slightly ofc) "Unfortunately I wasn't able to march, but I am so proud..." etc..

So where do you guys stand? Is this all blown out of proportion?

That one tweet though:

"Taylor doesn't speak: Gets hate
Taylor speaks: Gets hate"

Is true too, tbh.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd January 2017, 02:08 AM

That tweet is correct. It's not as if every feminist celebrity with an opinion would've been at the march, and why should Taylor have to write a whole essay on why she didn't go? Perhaps she was working, out of the country visiting people, whatever, why should she have to explain absolutely every little thing about why she does or doesn't do things just because it's cool to hate Taylor Swift and people will jump on her? I perfectly understand people's problems with her approach to certain things or her personality so I'm not being a biased stan but honestly I'm sure she was far from the only feminist celebrity not to go and march, so I don't see the problem?! Any number of things could've meant she couldn't and didn't go, but people just assume there's some conspiracy where she pretends to be feminist for record sales and then spends all day worshipping Trump or some shit Perhaps the reason she stays quiet is because she gets enough shit as it is! As I said I get why people wouldn't like her or her music, and that's fine, but why is EVERYTHING she does always so wrong and such a fuss? As that tweet said, if she didn't tweet at all about it, her mentions would have exploded with people moaning.

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd January 2017, 02:13 AM

I agree with Liam entirely on this, I don't get what's wrong with Taylor's tweet at all. I've seen many celebrities (male and female) tweet their support for those marching even if they didn't make it themselves - what's the big deal? Taylor can't do right for doing wrong, it's a bit tiresome at this point to see people jumping on her for anything. Really don't get the issue with her tweet.

Posted by: Queen LeQueefa 23rd January 2017, 02:33 AM

My god if she is getting attacked over this then it really is in to hate her. Dollar's on her next album flopping. I guess she wishes she didn't try to tske down Katy Perry now and start the narrative of being a Regina George total bitch!

Posted by: Jake 23rd January 2017, 08:51 AM

i hadn't seen this, says more about her character than this marching thing (but fits almost in a way)

thankfully i don't mind my pop favs having dreadful personalities *.*

Posted by: Martyn 23rd January 2017, 09:12 AM

With regards to feminism, I do feel like Taylor is only into it when it is of benefit to her and her brand. Considering her feminist anthem Bad Blood is literally there to say how awful some woman is.

Posted by: Tinasha 23rd January 2017, 09:33 AM

The fact she clearly didn't want to show a side during the election because she still has a lot of old fashioned country fans (as mentioned in the article) bothers me more than this. I agree with Liam that should could easily have been out of the country and unable to attend the march.

Posted by: vidcapper 23rd January 2017, 10:30 AM

I just don't get all this Taylor-bashing, IMO she is still one of the most likeable girls in music.

Posted by: princess lotita 23rd January 2017, 10:36 AM

You actually never fail to surprise me

Posted by: Jake 23rd January 2017, 12:09 PM

i can't estimate your total sales babe as you don't have any as of ~yet

Posted by: Jake 23rd January 2017, 12:17 PM

ultimately it's just sly and shows a lack of principle for own personal gain and adoration. the fact she's only friends with famous people she brings them out on show, records and sends out videos of herself doing nice things; coupled with the details of what i quoted further up from last year, she's evidently not a particularly nice nor principled person. she shows elements of sociopathy! does it really matter if the music is good though?

do the popstars we like have to hold admirable personalities and be incredibly likeable and relatable? it works for adele but think of madonna etc. the detachment matches the fantasy.

Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 23rd January 2017, 12:59 PM

except she's not likable in the slightest.

Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 23rd January 2017, 01:00 PM

i dont see any problem here though.

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd January 2017, 04:38 PM

It seems like Taylor never does practice what she preaches.... but oh well.

Posted by: Queen LeQueefa 23rd January 2017, 06:03 PM

Britney/ Robbie/ Kylie/ Cheryl etc.

Posted by: Liаm 23rd January 2017, 06:08 PM

I definitely agree, when the music is as good as Taylor's I don't care that the person behind it is a bit of a twat. Obviously when it comes to like... Gary Glitter I do draw the line but a bit of hypocrisy and twattiness isn't going to make me burn all her albums.

Posted by: mr_pmt 24th January 2017, 07:49 AM

I'm sorry, but you are joking? It's widely documented that she is in fact pretty evil.
