Taylor Swift livid and horrified over Kanye West “Famous” music video (inquisitr.com).
“Taylor Swift has allegedly been left feeling ‘horrified’ and ‘livid’ over Kanye West’s new music video for the song ‘Famous.’ According to reports, Taylor has seen the music video, which shows a Swift doppelgänger lying naked in bed with West alongside a slew of other nude celebrities, including West’s wife Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump, Rihanna, and Chris Brown, and Swift is understandably less than thrilled at how West used her likeness. ‘Taylor is livid. Taylor is horrified. Taylor didn’t know what to do when she heard about what Kanye did,’ a source alleged to Hollywood Life of Swift’s response to the music video, which Kanye debuted to the world during an event at The Forum in California on June 24.”
Indeed, which you may not get the “official at least” chance to see yet unless you too use similar Pirate Bays to which Kanye or studio technicians at least use while promoting release and Tidal service (Blog 2nd Mar. 2016), it being available to Tidal subscribers exclusively for a week with only a 30-second preview available to non-subscribers.
For sure, I kinda get it, West is using artistic license to suggest fame put famous all in bed together with their dramas and tribulations being mutually supportive, but I wonder what he would have to say to a similarly conjured ad hoc (“for the case in hand”) premise that fame is an oft sexualised feeding tube that goes from the famous down through paparazzi to trolls jealous of and looking for some attention of their own at the slim end, or whether, not being invited to the VIP fame bed he’d just kidney punch and destroy their camera instead (cnn.com, Mar. 2014).
And indeed, it may make an illustrator feel a tad better about the caricatures done which Swift may feel as horrified and livid about if she had to witness let alone be appreciative in any way of, an audience—as with most depicted in caricature—they are not particularly orchestrated for, which, with the song lyics also infamously containing “I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex, I made that ***** famous” and past scrums with Taylor I’m not quite sure is totally the case with Kanye, and I may not be alone feeling that:
“According to People, as well as featuring Swift’s likeness, West’s ‘Famous’ music video also opens ‘with a snippet of Taylor Swift with background audio from the MTV Video Music Awards.’ The 2009 award show is, of course, where West stormed the stage while Swift was accepting her award for Female Video of the Year to tell the world that he felt Beyoncé deserved the honor instead. But while Hollywood Life is reporting that Taylor is seriously angry over the piece, West denied that he was blasting or supporting any of the celebrities whose likeness he featured in the video in an interview with Vanity Fair.” ‘It’s not in support or anti any of [the people in the video]. It’s a comment on fame,’ Kanye told the site. ‘We were very careful with shots that had [something] sexual to take them out.’
Indeed, being naked all in bed together while still an artistic metaphor not being sexual at all, much as the frequent caricature of Swift accepting increasing phallic awards is neither.
I feel most sorry for RiRi who’s “likeness”—unlike Swift’s whose was suspiciously placed next to West himself—was put in bed next to bare bum rump Trump.

You can catch it in full—or so I hear—here (alrincon.com), but, just don’t tell Kanye, or in a sulk he‘ll not be handing out any more of them leather jogging pants from his range he couldn’t shift.

Taylor Swift threatened Kanye with criminal prosecution (tmz.com).
“Taylor Swift threatened Kanye West with criminal prosecution months ago for secretly recording her phone conversation with him … TMZ has learned.”
This is the phone conversation in which Kanye—and Kim—purport to have “busted” Taylor calling the lyrics in “Famous” a compliment: Kanye West busts Taylor Swift with secret recording she calls “Famous” a “compliment” (video, tmz.com).
“TMZ has a copy of a letter Taylor’s lawyer sent to Kanye’s attorney back in February. The lawyer made it clear, under California law, anyone who secretly records a telephone conversation with someone in the state commits a criminal offense … and it’s a felony. A source with direct knowledge of the conversation told TMZ it was recorded in an L.A.-area studio.”
Perhaps the same one someone was download pirated copy of musical beats software too; perhaps again, it wasn’t Kanye, someone else in said studio just forgot to turn their mic off. For sure, it does remind that in this social media age anything you say may have more value said to everyone else rather than the person you think you are addressing personally, and should all likely be remembered next time you answer that private message. And the attempted ldquo;your just the same as us’ness” didn’t stop there, with Kardashian-Jenner Korps’ Khloé taking aim at Chloë Mortez’s bumhole—Chloe having took shaming aim at Kim’s selfie mirror nudity; alas, Chloe’s bikini revealing bumhole it was not, being someone else’s probably located with Google Images and with question of permission to highlight to a world wide social media audience not requested either: Khloé vs. Chloë butthole feud over Kanye/Taylor war (tmz.com).
