Taylor Swift has revealed she was told to ‘kill herself’ over her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.
The singer fell out with the a-list couple over the lyrics in Kanye’s Famous track, in which he referred to her as “that b***h”.
After Taylor denied the fact that she had approved the lyrics, Kim leaked a video of Taylor and Kanye discussing the song’s lyrics during a phone conversation in the studio – which led to a war of words on social media.
Speaking about the fallout of their feud in Vogue magazine, Taylor said: “A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote canceled, is a very isolating experience.”
“I don’t think there are that many people who can actually understand what it’s like to have millions of people hate you very loudly….”
“When you say someone is canceled, it’s not a TV show. It’s a human being. You’re sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, Kill yourself.”
The songstress also opened up about her decision to remain silent during the 2016 presidential election.
She explained: “Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement.”
“He was going around saying, ‘I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.’ I just knew. I knew I wasn’t going to help.”
“Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was: She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.”
“These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary. Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? ‘Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women.'”
“Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses,” she added.
