She joined this fan's live video:

And then left the most Swift-esque emoji:

Someone else noticed that Taylor viewed her Instagram story:

And the superstar even sent a smiley reply:

She sent replies to the Instagram stories of other people:

She did some good old-fashioned Insta-creeping with random likes of old cat photos:

And even participated in someone's poll asking if they should ask their crush to homecoming:

And in a poll about herself:

Obviously answering yes:

Another girl shared her and Taylor's DMs, before fangirling out of control and ceasing the conversation:

And it seems these "Instagram live things" are what Taylor is spending most of her time watching:

When people noticed that Taylor had noticed them, they used the precious opportunity for her attention to ask important questions, like the wellbeing of her two cats, Meredith and Olivia:

She even gets borderline desperate to be noticed by a live-streaming fan here:

Swift reveals that when they're recording dance or party sequences in the music video, she doesn't let her backup dancers or anyone on set listen to the music. Uh... but then how do they dance in time to the beat? Well, apparently the dancers use a "click track" when cameras roll so they can hear the beat they should sync their moves to, but they don't hear the actual lyrics or melody. Skip to 3:56 to see a bunch of dressed up people acting tipsy and dancing together in a silent room. Yep, it looks as embarrassing as it sounds.

Kanye West dropped his newest album on Saturday (February 10), and it has already ignited controversy.

Vultures: Volume 1 is the latest offering from the now-divisive 46-year-old rapper.

Following a string of controversies - such as being dropped by major brands for antisemitic comments and being called out for "controlling" his wife Bianca Censori - West has now drawn the ire of some familiar foes: Swifties.

In one of his new tracks, 'Carnival', West namedrops singer Taylor Swift - whom he has had several high-profile run-ins with - amid some very x-rated lyrics.

She gon' take it up the a** (Ha), like a ventriloquist (Ha)," he raps, before adding: "I made six Taylor Swift (Ha), Since I had the Rollie on the wrist (Ha), I'm the new Jesus, bitch (Ha), I turn water to crist (Ha)".

In response to the perceived objectifying lyrics, Swift's legions of fans took to social media to express their outrage and disappointment.

Many accused West of being stuck in the past and displaying an unhealthy obsession with Swift. One fan lamented: "He's 46 and he's still living in 2009," while another questioned:" "Isn't Kanye tired of being problematic? I'm sick of him tbh [to be honest]."

"Keep Taylor's name OUT YOUR MOUTH," another Swiftie tweeted.

Despite the attention garnered by the controversial lyrics, some fans joked that the album would still "flop."

This isn't the first time West has referenced Swift in his music. In his 2016 track 'Famous', he sparked controversy with the lyrics, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous."

The ensuing feud between Swift, West, and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian escalated, resulting in a public fallout and legal battles. To top it off, the rapper would release a video that appeared to show Swift agreeing to have him use her name in the track.

The video was recorded by Kardashian.

In a recent interview with TIME magazine - after being named 'Person of the Year' - Swift reflected on the toll the feud had taken on her, describing it as "a career death". She highlighted the psychological impact of the public scrutiny and manipulation, emphasizing that she was "afraid to get on phone calls" and felt compelled to retreat from public life.

"That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before," Swift told Time, adding that moved to a foreign country after the incident. "I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard."

At that time, she felt the scandal to be the end of her music career, sharing: "Make no mistake - my career was taken away from me."

Despite the ongoing feud, Swift remains resilient, asserting that "trash takes itself out every single time." As fans continue to rally behind her, the contentious relationship between Swift, West, and Kardashian shows no signs of abating.

The feud between Swift and West began in 2009 after the rapper jumped on stage during her speech at the 2009 MTV VMA Awards.

As the debate surrounding West's controversial lyrics rages on, fans await Swift's response, eager to see how she will address the latest chapter in their turbulent history.

Kanye West appears to have reignited his now-notorious feud with Taylor Swift by posting a "snake" tweet.

Now, on the off chance that you've not been following the saga as closely as others, a few years ago, Kanye and wife Kim Kardashian referred to Swift with a snake emoji after she refused to confirm or deny that she had given the rapper permission to describe her as a "bitch" in his 2016 single 'Famous'.

On Friday afternoon, the rapper tweeted a picture of a snake that was captioned: "Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why … I'm not sure if Christians are allowed to use snake emojis."

To reiterate her point, Kim even tweeted the emoji on National Snake Day.

Per Page Six, Kim wrote at the time: "Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!? They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!"

However, instead of letting the incident get her down, Swift decided to embrace the snake imagery the couple had chosen to associate with her through her Reputation album era.

But she did explain that the incident had a long term effect on her years after it took place - so much so that she considered quitting her music career.

The Washington Post reports that the singer explained: "A couple of years ago, someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on."

"And then a lot of people were calling me a lot of things on social media. And I went through some really low times for a while because of it. I went through some times when I didn't know if I was going to get to do this anymore."

This comes after Kanye West has repeatedly hit the headlines in recent weeks over concerns for his mental health.

Page Six reports that the Wests are now renting out an entire 500-acre resort in the San Juan Mountains to improve their relationship after West publically said that she wanted to abort their daughter North.
