Kanye West References Taylor Swift In New Music Track

Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston

Kanye West has once again mentioned Taylor Swift in his latest music release, specifically in the track 'Lifestyle (Demo)' from Vultures 2. In the song, West raps about twisting his Taylor spliffs tight like Travis Kelce, making a reference to Swift's first name and Kelce's NFL position as a tight end. Both Swift and Kelce have not publicly responded to the mention.

Swift's fans have speculated that she may have subtly addressed the situation during her recent concert in Warsaw, Poland. During her performance of the Red set, Swift wore a '22' shirt with the words 'I Bet You Think About Me,' which some fans interpreted as a response to West's mention.

Despite the ongoing references in their music, Swift and West have a history of conflict dating back to the infamous incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs. The feud escalated with West's song 'Famous,' where he mentioned Swift by name, leading to a public dispute over permission for the lyrics.

While Kardashian previously defended West during the controversy, Swift seemingly addressed the feud in her recent work, signaling a desire to move on from the past. Sources close to Swift have indicated that she has chosen to focus on her music and personal growth, leaving the feud behind her.
