Right yâall, listen up â Iâm only going to say this once.Â
People make mistakes â of course they do. What Taylor is saying doesnât mean that isnât true. But people also change their minds, they change their perspectives.Â
I mean, wouldnât you, if you found of the person you thought was your new friend was secretly recording you, as well as not keeping his promises about plying you the entire song?Â
Like, how donât people see not hearing the full song adds a whole different context and slant to the words that Taylor heard in the phone call? By the sounds of it, they werenât in context. She never heard the lyric about being âThat Bitchâ, therefore wasnât degraded in the snippets that she heard.    Kanye lied to her, didnât play her the song like he promised, called her a name in the song that is basically used in rap to be derogatory to womenâŠÂ
Taylor thought Kanye was her friend.Â
(She was SO excited about finally being able to call someone she had idolised her friend again, after he embarrassed her so in 2009, you could tell),Â
but friends donât record friends to manipulate and speculate a private situation in the media later â nor do they call their friends insults in songs and not tell them about itâŠÂ
So, Taylor is right to say now that she was never really part of their narrative, because itâs the truth. Ever since then, he has used her to get publicity, and this has turned out just to be another one of those moments and highlights the main issue here:
Can you imagine the uproar if Taylor had done in 2016 what Kayne has done? Not only named a famous person in a song but insulted them without their permission???? Taylor canât even be inspired by relationships anymore without being called âobsessiveâ or âcrazyâ or âdesperateâ, and yet some of you think itâs okay for Kanye to do all this and more?
Donât you see the issue here??????????
By supporting Kayne in this â in the insulting a powerful woman in a lyric that would be heard the world over; the lack of permission to do so; the secret recording of the phone call; the naked depiction of her in the video â you are supporting the blatant arrogance and misogyny that keeps him where he is.  Â
Because Taylor is right â Kanye and the media have been telling the world that itâs not okay for Taylor to feel what she feels, even though she has no more control over that than you or I do over our feelingsâŠÂ
Letting Kanye tell people how Taylor should feel about something he did to her? Thatâs like letting someone who assaulted you, or punched you, or ran you over with their car, speak for you about how YOU feel after they hurt you to a juryâŠÂ expect Taylorâs jury is the entire world.
That is why I will always stand with Taylor on this, because if I have have learned one thing in my life, it is that misogyny is about telling women what they can and canât feel / do / be and unless we stand up to it in all its forms, say âenough is enoughâ⊠well, then it wouldnât ever stop. Â
After all, give an inch and arseholes will take a mile.Â
And to all yâall âfansâ who are destroying evidence of secret session photos, or ranting and raving about the woman you have supposedly âlovedâ like a friend until yesterdayâŠâŠ. I swear to god I better not see you back here when meet and greets roll around again, because itâs an insult to those of us who would never be so insulting or hurtful or so downright disrespectful.
(And to Taylor, if youâre out there somewhere, reading all this, I just want to sayâŠâŠ. I love you so much my heart hurts that I canât be by your side, that I canât hug you and be there to rant with you about all this like a friend should.  Â
Our fingerprints donât fade from the lives we touchâŠ. and I just want to take this moment to say thank you for touching mine @taylorswiftâ).
I am a better person because of you, and I will stand with you always. Â #IStandWithTaylor
