Kanye West has been going back and forth on Taylor Swift for years now. Seriously, he’s been tied to her ever since he bumrushed the stage. Then, the whole “Famous” song happened where he said “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous.” He backtracked, or explained, that Swift actually approved that line. I mean, maybe that did happen, though that seems quite unlikely.
Right after that came unedited, secretly taped SNL audio where he calls out Swift and her “fake ass.” Kanye’s hot and cold on Swift.
And NOW today, paparazzi found him at the airport and asked him about Swift yet again. This time he said:
I want the best for that person,. But it’s people going through real issues out here. It’s people that’s out of work. It’s people that’s in debt that can’t make it out of the debt. There’s people in debt that don’t have a shoe. There’s people that’s in debt that don’t have a hit album out also. The media tries to make this ongoing story and everything for hits. I don’t think people care about me or her in that way. People care about they families, they kids. If you like my music listen to it. If you like her music, listen to it.”
So diplomatic right?
You know this means Kanye TOTALLY wants to do Taylor Swift. He’s really conflicted. He probably respects her as an artist, envies her success, finds her really talented and that makes her really attractive to him. On the other hand, he resents her success because maybe she’s partly manufactured by the media. Being really competitive, Kanye can’t stand that he’s attracted to her.
And that is the end of the tea leaf reading for today.
