If This Was 75 Years Ago, Taylor Swift Would’ve Been The Reason Kanye Would Have Been Lynched

Taylor Swift, America’s sweetheart, is the fucking devil. She’s the reincarnation of antebellum white women from the South. Delicately sipping mint juleps, speaking in soft whispers and batting her evil blue eyes- the “epitome” of Miss American Pie has the masses fooled.

So let’s rewind. Kanye REALLY did “make that bitch famous.” It was the 2009 MTV Music Awards and Taylor won the award for Best Female Video for “You Belong With Me” — beating out Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”

*cough cough* Bullshit!

As the singer took the stage to give her acceptance speech- Kanye waltzed up, grabbed the mic and said, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Little Miss Wonderbread, who dissed every last ex in a song, was now the victim. Just like that “he made that bitch famous”. Taytay looked like she wanted to cry and alas the delicate white flower was born.

White America HATED Kanye for his behavior. But he’s fucking Kanye and that’s that. I can’t say that I was upset about it. Was it rude? Yes. Inappropriate? A tad. But to see a black man run on stage, take the mic, in full awe and love for a sister, tell the world that HER SHIT was better than everybody else’s, including the winner- I WAS HERE FOR EVERY SECOND OF IT BECAUSE FUCK MANNERS. Poor Taylor. Not really.

Kanye became the asshole who folks wanted to hate. He blamed it on being drunk. He was asked to leave the awards. Life went on.

Fast forward to 2015, Taylor Swift presented Kanye West with the MTV Vanguard Award. They smiled and hugged it out, Life was good.

Until. 2016 came along and Kanye released his single “Famous” with the infamous line:

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why, I made that bitch famous.”

Aw shit. Here we go again. Taylor’s panties are in a bunch. Apparently, she didn’t know that she was going to be mentioned in Kanye’s single. She was embarrassed and humiliated and blah blah blah. People began to question Kanye for his fresh batch of bullshitery and he defended himself. He explained himself and that wasn’t good enough. This was February 2016. He didn’t even attempt to throw Taylor’s ass under the bus. She played the victim card so well. Kanye was well on his way to being Public Enemy #1 again.

That is until THE WIFE came through with the receipts. And in a 180 degrees turn, Taylor was exposed.

Kim Kardashian is not here for Taylor’s bullshit.

Kim Kardashian-West played the SnapChat video of Taylor Swift agreeing, laughing and joking about her own overexposure (you’ve been overexposed for years) with Kanye. She put that pasty, narrow ass on blast and Taylor is still playing the victim because “she was secretly recorded”.

Bitch BYE.

Here’s the issue. Taylor would have continued to demonize Kanye had Kim not come through with proof of her bullshit. Shit like this would have gotten black men lynched not even 75 years ago. White women, all doe-eyed and soft-spoken, had black men and boys killed by lying to white masses. But we should “shake this shit off” because this isn’t a big deal. And somehow a woman defending her husband is still wrong. If this isn’t classic “he whistled at me” or Massa’s wife having an affair with the big, black buck and getting caught fucking in the throws of ecstasy and then crying rape, I don’t know what is. The masses will believe her “innocence”. The media will relish in her “naivete”. And White America will still metaphorically lynch Kanye West for their delicate little flower.

Fuck you, Taylor.
