In a recent interview with TIME Magazine, where she was named Person of the Year, Taylor Swift candidly addressed her long-standing feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, referring to them as ‘trash’. Swift described the psychological toll the dispute took on her, particularly highlighting the impact of an “illegally recorded phone call” released by Kardashian, which Swift claims was edited to portray her as a liar.

The conflict, which dates back to 2016 following a controversial song by Kanye West that included explicit lyrics about Swift, escalated when Kardashian publicly involved herself. Swift refuted claims that she had approved the lyrics, leading to the release of the contentious phone call. This incident, according to Swift, felt like a “career death,” forcing her to retreat from public life and causing her to distrust those around her.
During this period, Swift reportedly moved to a foreign country, speculated to be the UK, to be near her then-new partner, British actor Joe Alwyn. This move marked a significant retreat from the public eye, a response to the fallout with Kardashian and West.
Swift shared that this experience deeply influenced her 2017 album “Reputation,” which was largely a reflection of her feelings during that tumultuous time. She spoke about the transient nature of fame and her approach to overcoming challenges by continuing to create art.

Taking a final jab at Kardashian and West, Swift remarked, “Trash takes itself out every single time.” She emphasized that, despite the trials, she has learned not to focus on defeating her adversaries but to keep forging ahead with her creative work.
