Taylor Swift Finally Commented on the Newly-Leaked ‘Famous’ Call Footage


Taylor Swift has broken her silence on the newly-leaked “Famous” phone call footage from 2016. And, reader, her response is good.

If you took a break from the internet this weekend, let me catch you up to speed: Late Friday night (March 20), footage of what appeared to be the complete, unedited 2016 phone call between Swift and Kanye West about his song “Famous” hit the web. That track, remember, has the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous”—which Swift took issue with at the time, specifically the word “bitch.” In a 2016 interview with GQ, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, claimed Swift approved of the lyric ahead of time, then leaked footage of the phone call on Snapchat that seemed to corroborate that. Swift was quickly labeled a liar and “snake” by people on the internet.

But this new footage vindicates Swift completely. West never mentions in the call that the word “bitch” would be used in the song. In fact, at one point in the conversation, Swift literally says, “It doesn’t feel mean, but oh, my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like, ‘That stupid, dumb bitch,’ but it’s not.” So you can imagine Swift’s hurt when the word “bitch” did make it into the song.

Fans have been waiting for someone in this trio—Swift, West, or Kardashian—to make a statement about this new footage. Kardashian “liked” the tweet, below, and Swift “liked” some posts on Tumblr, but no one has said anything.

Until now. Taylor Swift is the first person to officially break their silence on the issue, taking to Instagram Stories and urging fans to focus on “what really matters” right now—helping those affected by coronavirus—instead of petty drama.

She did, however, say a few pointed words before showing fans how they can donate to the World Health Organization and Feeding America.

“Instead of answering those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about that call (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family and fans through hell for 4 years)…SWIPE UP to see what really matters,” she wrote.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West haven’t responded to Swift’s post. Yet. Ahhh, it feels like 2016 again.

Normani Just Commented on Camila Cabello’s Past Racist Posts for the First Time


Normani just broke her silence on Camila Cabello‘s past racist social media posts, which the “Havana” singer apologized for last year. (The two performed in the pop group Fifth Harmony together from 2012 to 2016.)

“I want to be very clear about what I’m going to say on this uncomfortable subject and figured it would be best to write out my thoughts to avoid being misconstrued, as I have been in the past,” she told Rolling Stone magazine. “I struggled with talking about this because I didn’t want it to be a part of my narrative, but I am a black woman, who is a part of an entire generation that has a similar story.”

“I face senseless attacks daily, as does the rest of my community,” she continued. “This represents a day in the life for us. I have been tolerating discrimination far before I could even comprehend what exactly was happening. Direct and subliminal hatred has been geared toward me for many years solely because of the color of my skin.”

“It would be dishonest if I said that this particular scenario didn’t hurt me,” she said, referring to Cabello’s past posts and also online bullying she experienced from fans during the Fifth Harmony days. “It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood, because I knew that if the tables were turned, I would defend each of them in a single heartbeat. It took days for her to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans.”

Normani added, “I don’t want to say that this situation leaves me hopeless because I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity for personal growth. I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this. I hope there is genuine understanding about why this was absolutely unacceptable.”

Cabello was called out in 2019, when a Twitter user posted a thread of screenshots allegedly from her old Tumblr account that showed her using racially insensitive language and reblogging a number of racist and xenophobic tropes and images.

“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” Cabello wrote in December 2019, referencing the posts. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”

“I apologized then and I apologize now,” Cabello continued. “I would never intentionally hurt anyone and I regret it from the bottom of my heart. As much as I wish I could, I can’t go back in time and change things I said in the past. But once you know better, you do better and that’s all I can do.”

Cabello added, “I’m 22 now, I’m an adult and I’ve grown and learned and am conscious and aware of the history and the pain it carries in a way I wasn’t before. Those mistakes don’t represent the person I am or a person I’ve ever been. I only stand and have ever stood for love and inclusivity, and my heart has never, even then, had any ounce of hate or divisiveness.”

Selena Gomez Just Responded to Bella Hadid Deleting an Instagram She Commented On


After some time out of the public eye, Selena Gomez is definitely back in the spotlight with two new songs—that many think are about her ex, Justin Bieber—and a renewed social media presence.

Now, whether she intended to or not, the pop star finds herself in the middle of a possible internet drama with supermodel Bella Hadid. As with so many things online, there’s a lot of speculation going on here, but let’s see if we can break this down for anyone who doesn’t follow these two closely.

This drama seems to be rooted in the 2017 tabloid love triangle that happened between Hadid, The Weekend, and Gomez. For context, Hadid and The Weeknd have been dating on and off since 2015. But when they were apart in January 2017, he started seeing Gomez, at which time Hadid unfollowed Gomez on Instagram. Then, Gomez and The Weeknd unfollowed Hadid. Last year, Hadid and The Weeknd got back together before breaking up, yet again. At some point in between, Gomez re-followed Hadid on IG and, over the weekend, commented, “Stunning ?” on one of her posts.

Then, without explanation, Hadid deleted the entire post. While many online surmised this was because of Gomez’s comment, there’s no way to know Hadid’s true intention. Whatever the case, Gomez is bummed about the move. A fan account, @selssbrina, published a post about the situation and mentioned that Hadid had deleted the post Gomez commented on. The “Look at Her Now” singer saw said fan post and left a simple but telling reply: “That sucks ?.”

But don’t take this as a sign that Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid are feuding. Like we said, Hadid could’ve deleted her post for a number of reasons. And while Gomez’s reply to the fan account implies she’s hurt, we don’t know anything for sure. SelGo has made it clear in the past, though, that she has no time for petty fodder like this. When fans tried to pit her and Hailey Bieber against each other following the release of her song “Love You to Lose Me” (which is probably about Justin), she shut it down.

“I am so grateful for the response of the song,” she said on Instagram Stories. “However, I will never stand for women tearing other women down. So please be kind to everyone.Please be kind, I don’t like seeing people being disrespectful or rude to other people, so please don’t do that.”

Ayesha Curry Shut Down an Instagram User Who Commented on 10-Month-Old Son's Weight


Ayesha Curry is a cookbook author, cooking show host, restaurant owner, Covergirl spokesperson, and a mom to three kids—Riley, Ryan, and Canon—with her husband, NBA superstar Steph Curry. In other words, this is a woman who does not have time for rude people on Instagram.

But this being the Internet, there will always be some troll waiting in the wings with less-than-kind commentary. And when someone recently made a comment about her 10-month-old son’s weight, Ayesha was having none of it.

But let’s back up a bit before we get to her response: Earlier this week, the entire Curry extended family was together to watch Steph’s Golden State Warriors play for a chance to make the NBA Finals against his younger brother, Seth Curry, who is on the Portland Trailblazers. After the Warriors’ victory, the Curry clan posed for a big group photo that included Steph and Ayesha and their three children.

“Infinitely proud of these guys. Gods grace and mercy continues to cover our family and we are so grateful. Not about wins and losses, it’s all about family. Moments like this simply put it all into perspective,” she wrote in the caption. “‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’ – Matthew 6:33” Most of the comments were positive; the feed was filled with fans congratulating the family on the team’s victory and remarking on how adorable (and grown up) the kids look.

It’d be nice if the story just ended there, but one commenter decided to chime in and ask if Ayesha is pregnant again. (Sigh, how many times do we have to tell people that is not a question that needs to be asked?) Anyway, Ayesha took it in stride and replied, “Absolutely not LOL. My 30 lb son is just breaking my back in every Photo.”

To this, another commenter said, “If that kid is 30 lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on.”

Ayesha quickly shut that down, though, with a succinct, “Excuse you? No. Just no.” Soon after, more fans joined in the conversation to support her. “F her! ‘Just NO’ is right! You & your family look fantastic. Your husband is gorgeous & best in NBA. Congratulations to y’all & your fam,” one wrote. Another said, “People are so rude!!! You look beautiful and your kids are adorable!!!!!”

We wholeheartedly agree. Nice shot, Ayesha.
