Less than an hour after Kim Kardashian West's feud with Taylor Swift went nuclear on Snapchat, the singer "shook it off" with a post of her own.
The 26-year-old singer took to her Instagram to post a piece under the caption, "That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet."
"Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me 'that bitch' in his song?" the 'Bad Blood' hit-maker began, adding: "It doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that bitch' in front of the entire world."
She continued, "Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did."
Swift then went on to say that while she had tried to be supportive of Kanye when he called her for her approval of the track, it was impossible for her to have truly given it to him given the fact that she'd never actually heard it before it was released.
She concluded, "Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009."
The years-long, on-off feud between Swift and West took another interesting turn, when the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star Snapchatted the conversation the two musical celebs had regarding the song 'Famous.'
In a series of posts, the 35-year-old reality star allowed fans to get a glimpse into portions of the phone call exchanged by the two, wherein Swift can be heard approving the song's infamous lyric.
In case you weren't following, this year started off rough for the celebrity duo. West debuted the song 'Famous' with the line "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b---h famous (God Damn), I made that b---h famous."
This caused massive backlash on Twitter. According to West, Swift gave permission on the lyrics, but her rep later denied his claims.
