Fans Think Taylor Swift's Being Nude in the '…Ready for It?' Video Is a Dig at Kanye West


Taylor Swift released a teaser for her “…Ready for It?” music video yesterday, and it looks amazing. From the 10 seconds we saw, it appears Swift plays some kind of neon, crime-fighting robot. Her eyes glow in the dark at one point. Lightning bolts shoot out of her hands. Oh, and she appears to be naked.

That last tidbit, naturally, sent the Internet into a tailspin. (Although it really shouldn’t have. Naked people aren’t a big deal, but here we are.) Granted, Swift’s nudity isn’t confirmed, but it sure looks like she’s sporting her birthday suit while battling these futuristic bad guys. Why is she naked, though? Fans have been chattering about this for the past 24 hours, and one theory is dominating the conversation: Kanye West.

The Internet seems to think Swift’s nudity is a not-so-subtle dig at West’s “Famous” video, in which a Swift mannequin lies next to him…completely naked. Remember when that happened?

“IS IT JUST ME OR DID EVERYBODY ELSE REALIZE THAT TAYLOR PUTTING ON A BODY SUIT AND LOOKING NAKED IS HER WAY OF DISSING KANYE & HIS FAMOUS MV,” one fan tweeted shortly after the “…Ready for It?” teaser dropped. “Remember when Kanye had that ‘naked’ Taylor for famous? She’s turning it back with android naked Taylor for#ReadyForItMusicVideo,” wrote another. Here are a few more tweets that allude to the same theory:

So is this true? It’s certainly possible. Swift’s Reputation era, thus far, has been all about firing back at the negative stories and feuds that followed her in 2016. Swiping West by stripping down perfectly aligns with that theme. We’ll probably never know for sure, though—Swift isn’t really doing press for this album—so let the theorizing continue.

Why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West No Longer Give Each Other Gifts

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are a low-key, no-frills couple. No, really: Despite the weeklong wedding celebration in May 2014 that took attendees from Versailles to Florence and millions of dollars’ worth of sparkly things they’ve gifted each other, the power couple says they actually value being “grounded and well rounded” much more than accumulating pricey material possessions.

In an interview accompanying her covershoot for the October 2017 issue of Allure, Kardashian West opened up about her and her husband’s newly tame approach to celebrating each other—which, hopefully, still allows for West to fill rooms with gorgeous white roses in honor of his wife. “I don’t like presents anymore,” she said. “We just did absolutely nothing [for our anniversary]. We spent two days in Santa Barbara, and we slept.” Kardashian West added, “You know what? I think we went to IHOP. That’s what we did.”

This zen-like philosophy—possibly stemming from the reality star’s traumatizing robbery at gunpoint in Paris last October—also extends to the couple’s children, 4-year-old daughter North and 21-month-old son Saint. “We don’t do gifts,” the 36-year-old said when asked whether she worries about her kids growing up spoiled. “[Kanye and I] talk about it all the time, about not getting too much and trying to be as grounded and well rounded as possible.”

This approach is clearly working for Kimye, who are expecting their third child, a daughter, via surrogate at the beginning of next year. During a visit to The View earlier this summer, Kardashian West gushed over her husband and their strong, supportive relationship. “We’re best friends, and I think that’s just what’s so important for us in our marriage,” she said. “I think we started off as friends for so many years and we were friends when we were in other relationships and were such a good support system for each other for so long. I think that really helped to be the basis of our relationship.”

Taylor Swift Is Being Accused of Copying Kanye West on 'Ready for It'


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be totally over their feud with Taylor Swift, but the Internet clearly isn’t ready to let it go just yet. Fans pounced on the thinly-veiled Kimye references littered through the lyrics and video of Taylor’s “Look What You Made Me Do” when those dropped. (Some even claimed Taylor made fun of Kim’s Paris robbery in the video.) And now, they’ve pushed this feud story even further: accusing Taylor of drawing a little too much inspiration from Kanye—specifically his 2013 album, Yeezus—on “Ready for It,” her second single off of her upcoming album, Reputation.

Here’s what people on Twitter are saying:

As Andrew Gruttadaro at The Ringer points out, “Many compared ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ to Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak, but ‘…Ready for It?’ draws clear inspiration from Yeezus, with an intro that sounds like a softened version of ‘On Sight’ and the kind of brutal, manufactured percussion that defined that album.” He continues, “Taylor Swift is also rapping on this song,” Hmm….

If you’re questioning all these comparisons, though, listen to the two songs for yourself and decide:

Kim Kardashian West Finally Admits That, Yes, She's Indeed a 'Feminist'


PHOTO: Taylor Hill/FilmMagic/Getty Images

Kim Kardashian West has received criticism in the past for her stance on feminism—mostly that she doesn’t consider herself one—but now she wants to set the record straight that she is, indeed, a feminist at her core.

When asked point-blank if she considers herself to be a feminist icon in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, Kim responded that she simply doesn’t need a label to classify herself as such. “I said once before that I’m not really a feminist. But I feel I do a lot more than people that claim that they’re feminist,” she explained. “To clarify what I said before: I feel in my soul I’m a feminist. I just don’t need labels to make me feel or know what I am inside.”

A part of that feminism, she argues, is being able to remain a sensual being and not having a crisis of identity despite being a mother. “More power to the moms that look really good, work really hard, do what they can so that they still feel sexy, still feel good about themselves,” she said. “I don’t think for a second that because you become a mom you can’t be sexy any more.”

Kim’s new comments come a year after she wrote an essay about feminism that got people’s heads scratching. In it, she refused to call herself one, but shared all of the ideology’s fundamental tenants. “I feel that being grouped or labeled can create separation between people who do (or don’t) fall into certain categories, when they may actually share many of the same beliefs and goals,” she said at the time. “The fight for equality is about ALL human beings being treated equally—regardless of gender, sexuality or ethnicity. I’ll always fight for women’s rights. Always.”

Kim Kardashian West Channels Jackie O in a Photoshoot for Interview Magazine


Only Kim Kardashian West could turn Camelot into Kamelot.

For the cover of the September 2017 issue of Interview magazine, the star posed with her daughter North West in a very Jackie Kennedy Onassis–inspired photoshoot that was captioned with, “America’s First New Lady.” (So does this mean Kanye West’s presidential run could become a reality?)

And never one to not be extra, Kardashian West goes for the full Jackie O in the photos, wearing white elbow-length gloves and a big bouffant hairdo that feel straight out of the Cold War. As the magazine notes, the 36-year-old is purposely channeling the former first lady because she’s “another mother whose every move captivated the American imagination.”

In the accompanying interview, which is a conversation between Kardashian West and writer and activist Janet Mock, the beauty mogul talked about how “conscious” she is of raising mixed-race children with husband Kanye West. “Kanye always has his family around and people who look like my daughter—that’s important to me. She’s obsessed with her curly hair, and if she finds someone who has the same hair, she runs to them and is like, ‘You have curly hair like me?’ And we get to talk about it. We also talk about it with my niece Penelope, because she and North look really different, but they’re best friends and they’re together all the time.” She added, “We want to raise our kids to be really aware. I think that’s all you can do. The more you talk about things and keep them out in the open, the more they won’t be taboo. Kids are already so open. They say anything. So if you educate them, they feel like they have this knowledge and then they feel empowered.”

Naturally, the presidential photoshoot has already sparked a variety of reactions on Twitter, with many users sharing their disdain over the magazine’s decision to compare Kim K and Jackie O. “Jackie O turning over in her damn grave right now,” one person tweeted at Kardashian West. However, others have only praise for the pictures’ glamorous look and creative styling. “Nothing but respect for MY First Lady,” a Twitter user wrote, while another mused, “It’s strange for me to say that I wish this were real. Kanye running the country would make me feel a lot safer.”

The issue also features a series of short interviews with North, conducted by fellow famous kids like Kaia Gerber, Millie Bobby Brown, and North’s cousin-slash-bestie Penelope Disick, in which the 4-year-old reveals such hard-hitting truths as her favorite kind of pizza (“Just cheese! Cheese, cheese—everywhere cheese.”), her favorite Disney princess (Jasmine), and what she would do at a baking party with Penelope (“We can make rainbow princess cake!”). She also answers several questions from the writings of Andy Warhol, sharing that she can do her own nails “very well,” her favorite color is rainbow and her purse is full of toys and “sometimes I put some makeup in there when I go to church.”

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Reportedly Could Not Care Less About Taylor Swift's Diss Track


PHOTO: Larry Busacca/Getty Images

Last week, in the clap-back track heard round the world, Taylor Swift (allegedly) exacted year-in-the-making lyrical revenge on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West with her new single, “Look What You Made Me Do.”

The song and video are packed with subtle—and not-so-subtle—references to the couple. But in true Kim and Kanye fashion, they reacted by…not caring at all. Remember the time Amy Schumer did a slip-and-fall in front of them on the red carpet, and they completely ignored the entire thing? It’s basically that, but even icier.

According to TMZ, West is more focused on his feud with ex-BFF JAY-Z than his beef with person-he-hadn’t-heard-of-until-2009, T.Swift. Meanwhile, in Kardashian’s mind, “the whole feud ended over a year ago.” Do the math: That’s when she released the recordings that disproved Swift’s claims that she never approved the lyric’s for West’s “Famous” song—and the Internet pretty much took Kim’s side.

Kardashian celebrated the release of “Look What You Made Me Do” by tweeting a completely unrelated photo of her son the morning the song came out. Then, she blocked the snake emoji from her social media feed to avoid being spammed by Swift fans who were attempting to give Kardashian a taste of her own medicine. Still, it’s pretty clear that the Kardashian-Wests want nothing to do with the eight-year-long drama.

While Swift hasn’t officially confirmed that the song is about the rap–reality duo, the Internet is all but convinced. Everything from the album typography, which looks eerily similar to West’s Life of Pablo fonts, to the lyrics of the song that seemingly reference the “tilted stage” West used during his last tour (“I don’t like your little games / I don’t like your tilted stage / The role you made me play of the fool / No, I don’t like you.”) to the video, which makes note of the “receipts” Kardashian used to put the infamous Swift call on blast.

Even so, Kim and Kanye’s names may be underlined in red on a Taylor Swift hit-list filled with pop stars and ex-boyfriends, but it seems like they really couldn’t care less.
