That's all very interesting because Swift's rep already responded to reports that the singer signed off on the lyrics -- "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous" -- saying that just didn't happen.
Kanye did not call for approval," a rep for Swift said in a statement . But to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, I made that bitch famous.'"
Yeah, we didn't think Swift would have been impressed nor would have "got the joke" as TMZ claimed, and her friends and family certainly didn't like the lyrics either.
Swift's younger brother Austin took to Instagram shortly after the show and shared a video of himself casually throwing out his Yeezy 350 Boosts . "Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again," he captioned the video.
Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again.
