Kim then posted several Snapchat stories, which confirmed that West called Swift for approval, which she gave. Swift tried to distance herself from the incident on Twitter, which started the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.
One of Taylor Swift's more unlikely enemies is Ed Droste. In 2015, the indie rocker tweeted a tabloid article that targeted Swift. He has since deleted Twitter.

But recently, footage of that entire 2016 phone call has been leaked, and it reveals that West only told Swift that the line would say, "I feel like Taylor might still have sex." While he does suggest he might say he made her famous, he specifically leaves out the "b—" part, which she said was one of her concerns.
Kim had clearly posted edited videos, West had clearly omitted information, and afterwards Twitter was alive with the hashtag #KanyeWestIsOverParty. Oh how the tables have turned!
Adding more fuel to the fire, a "new" Taylor Swift live album was released in April 2020, and the singer wrote on Instagram that she did not approve the release, and that the recording is from a 2008 radio show performance. Then she added, "It looks to me like Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros and the Soros family and The Carlyle Group have seen the latest balance sheets and realized that paying $330 MILLION for my music wasn't exactly a wise choice and they need money."
Sharp-eyed Swifties have discovered that the band whose cover of 'Look What You Made Me Do' appeared on an episode of 'Killing Eve' doesn't actually exist. Moreover, the cover is produced by Nils Sjöberg—Swift's pseudonym. Fans also believe the singer on the cover is Swift's brother, Austin. This would all mean Swift made a fake band, who owns their masters, to sing her song to ensure that Scooter Braun receives no profit!
As a refresher, Big Machine Label Group was sold to Swift's known enemy, Scooter Braun, and with that deal her first six albums came under his control. Since then Swift came up with an ingenious way to use her music without letting Braun pocket any profit—through a band called Jack Leopards and The Dolphin Club, which doesn't exist...
Following rumors that her feud with Kanye West was back on—as Swift released her latest album, 'Folklore,' on the day West planned to release his, 'Donda'—things have taken a surprising turn for the better. West has been vocal lately about rights issues in the music industry, and regarding Swift's public denouncement of Big Machine Label, West tweeted, "I’M GOING TO PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT TAYLOR SWIFT GETS HER MASTERS BACK.” He added that Scooter Braun, the infamous new owner of the label and Swift's first six album masters, is a close family friend. Does this make West and Swift frenemies now?
Before this, #TaylorIsFree started trending to celebrate the fact that as of November 1, 2020, Swift was reportedly legally allowed to re-record new versions of her first six albums, meaning she will fully own them. In a letter to fans she said she had already started, making for a historic move for the music industry.
The singer revealed that when she'd tried to make a deal with Braun to buy back her masters, he had insisted on her signing an NDA to ensure that she would never speak a negative word about him again. Obviously, the deal was never made. Swift also said Shamrock told her "Braun had required that they make no contact with me or my team, or the deal would be off."

CELEBRITY Feuds
Few people in the music industry have as many enemies as Taylor Swift. The country-turned-pop singer has amassed an empire, which was bound to attract some naysayers along the way. Swift has notoriously, and very publicly, feuded with former friends, industry titans, and her exes.
Now her long and public feud with Scooter Braun over the masters of her first six albums appears to be reaching its messy end. Braun reportedly sold Big Machine Label Group, which includes the master rights, to private equity company Shamrock Holdings for over US$300 million, more than Braun had paid to purchase the label in 2019. Swift says Shamrock made her aware of the sale, but she refused to involve herself in the deal when she learned that Braun would continue to profit off her catalog for many years.
What he won't profit off of? Her much-anticipated re-recordings of her old songs, the first of which is the megahit 'Love Story.'
Check out the following gallery to find out what she revealed to her fans about Braun's attempt to silence her, and read more on Taylor Swift's extensive list of enemies.
