It appears that Yeezy is not done sparking another old drama of his that will leave a number of mouths gaping. According to an Instagram story, Ye confirmed that he has been following just one account lately, Taylor Swift. Needless to say, many fans aren’t pleased and some have pointed fingers at West’s continued fascination with the pop sensation.
Kanye West Posting Story
Kanye posted a screenshot on his Instagram Stories showing that he follows only one account. The next story confirmed it was Taylor Swift. He also posted a report about his following activity on X (formerly Twitter) with a side-eye emoji, which fueled speculation.
This follows the multiple Grammy nominations Taylor Swift received this year. Some fans wondered if this was a ploy to remain relevant or incite a reaction from Swift’s fanbase.
Fans React: ‘Leave Her Alone’
Fans quickly took to social media to express their irritation. One person commented in caps, “LEAVE. HER. ALONE. IT’S BEEN 16 YEARS.” Another user said, “This fixation 16 years later is just insane.” Other users referenced her appearance at the Grammys and how it should be interesting to see her, one stating “The Grammys shall be interesting.”
Kanye Tags Taylor in Grammy Post
Beyond his Instagram behavior, Ye also admitted to his Grammy nomination for the song Carnival. In a message to the Grammys, thanking them, he also tagged Taylor Swift—and fans didn’t take long to catch on to it. One user responded with sarcasm: “So nobody’s gonna talk about that Taylor Swift tag?” Another user joked: “Aw, is someone a Swiftie now?”
The feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift dates back to 2009, when Kanye infamously interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, claiming Beyoncé deserved the award. The conflict escalated in 2016 when Kanye released Famous, which included an explicit reference to Swift and a controversial music video featuring her likeness without consent.
Taylor Swift’s Grammy Nominations
However, Big Night of the Grammys for Taylor Swift had a total number of nominations like Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Song of the Year.
Fans now look forward to seeing how she is going to respond or rather will she let it pass. In the picture below, Kanye West is only following Taylor Swift on Instagram.
