Unless you live in the Amazon, you probably know about the #KimExposedTaylorParty that everyone on the internet is attending right now; a social event significantly less exclusive than Taylor’s fourth of July bash. Internet trolls and functional humans alike are stoked that Kim Kardashian’s snapchat exposed Swift and proved that Kanye did receive Swift’s permission to write a line about her in his song.  I’m not going to write an entire think-piece on this, but I just want to point out a couple of things:

1.) The line Kanye read her, as shown in the recording, isn’t the most offensive part of the song. “Famous” is written about how Kanye made a bitch famous, and “that bitch” is TSwift.

2.) Kanye didn’t make Taylor Swift famous. At the point he is referring to (2009), she had already won a handful of Grammy awards… and was selling out stadiums. Tay was already very famous. Arguably more famous than Kanye himself.

Technically, Kim’s snap proves nothing about whether or not Taylor gave consent. Kanye told her about a line that (compared to many rap lyrics) is positive, and she agreed to let him put it in his song. After all, she definitely doesn’t ask everyone’s permission when song writing. Remember when John Mayer found out Dear John was about him? Taylor has defamed a few people in her day, but she’s painted the story to relate to SO many people. “Back to December” is literally a song about my freshman year of college. Many of you have balled your eyes out to “All to Well.” The difference is “Famous” is a song about Taylor Swift, and there is no other way to look into it.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are worshipped by millions of people and telling the whole world they think of Taylor Swift as just a bitch Kanye made famous is pretty low. That being said, she pretty much told him he didn’t need her permission. The song wasn’t flattering in any way. But people take this couple seriously, and they made a public statement of defamation. Taylor’s 2016 Grammy speech was about people taking credit for other’s accomplishments. She isn’t wrong. That’s exactly what “famous” is about.

In regards to the image you people are so obsessed with shattering, why do you care? Moms around the world panicked when Miley Cyrus started singing about party drugs or when Vanessa Hudgens scandalous photos leaked. Some people crash and burn from fame; Lindsey Lohan. With the exception of her being harassed about her love life for a decade,  Taylor Swift has managed to have a relatively clean image. Perhaps it’s because she has a great publicist, or maybe she just isn’t that terrible.

We hate when celebrities are clean, but we never let them forget when they do something dirty (Kim Kardashian “…superstar all from a home movie”.) We find it obnoxious when they are tight-lipped, while we simultaneously harass those who overexpose (read Kylie Jenner’s instagram comments.) Let’s care less.

Anyways, I have to go. I can’t think about this anymore.
