Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift: A Timeline of Their Feud

The Early Years

Kanye West and Taylor Swift's relationship began amicably. West famously interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but the two later made up and even collaborated on a song together.

The 2015 Incident

In February 2015, West released his song "Famous," which included the lyric "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous." Swift publicly condemned the song, and the feud between the two re-ignited.

The Aftermath

The feud continued for several years, with both West and Swift releasing songs and making public statements that criticized each other. In 2019, West publicly apologized to Swift for his actions, and the two have since reconciled.
