Taylor Swift Hasn't Said Anything About That Leaked Kanye Call — But She's Liking Tumblr Posts

Just when it seemed like Taylor Swift and Kanye West's notorious 2016 phone call had been finally laid to rest, a reportedly full, unedited version made the rounds on social media over the weekend immediately after an apparent leak. It puts a potentially new spin on the narrative that's circulated within the past four years — the one that says Swift approved of West's uncensored lyrics on his song "Famous" although potentially pretended otherwise.


Taken in its entirety — and not in the snippets Kim Kardashian released through the Snapchat way back in July 2016, five months soon following the song's release — the conversation seemingly proves what Swift has been saying all along, which is that she never gave her advanced OK on the latter piece of Kanye's provocative lines "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous."


Swifties have understandably been rejoicing about the leak on Tumblr, and the pop star let her fans know how she feels about it by liking their celebratory posts. "WHO WAS TELLING TRUTH The full TIME???" One post read. "2016 me isn't surprised," mentioned another. Another post Swift admired even called out the song's music video, which featured a nude wax figure of Swift as well as a couple of other celebrities.


Another Tumblr post calls the leaked phone call karma, which has been a theme in Swift's career since the release of "Look What You Made Me Do" in 2017. The word can also be seen on the subway station walls in the pop star's recent music video for "The Man." "And that is how you let karma take care of itself," the post read.


In the whole phone call, which Variety has transcribed in its entirety, West asks Swift to assist him promote the song by releasing it herself. Although immediately after learning that the original lyric was going to be "I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex," the "Lover" songstress instructed them rapper that she required to "think about it because it is absolutely crazy."


"If I launch it, it adds to this level of criticism," Swift told West, explaining that releasing it herself could be contradictory to her whole message. "Having this several followers and having this several eyeballs on me now, folks are just looking for me to do something ridiculous or foolish or lame. I feel like people would attempt to prepare it negative if it came from me."


The rapper also took Swift through some of the song's other lyrics, including the one where he claimed to have made her prominent. "You gotta tell the story the way it happened to you and the way that you've experienced it," Swift mentioned soon after hearing the lyric. "You honestly didn't know who I was before that. Like, it is irrelevant if I sold 7 million of that album before you did that, which is what happened." What he didn't reveal, yet, was that he was going to refer to Swift as "that bitch" in the second line.


This is in keeping with Swift's original statement to New York Times reporter Jon Caramanica, through the a spokesperson, from February 2016, any time prominent was first released: "Taylor was never made aware of the particular lyric, 'I made that bitch famous.'"


Now that the entire phone call is out for all to hear, it's clear that both Swift and her devoted fan base are feeling pretty validated now, and rightfully so. For proof, look no further than this "Taylor instructed them Truth" mood board, which Swift showed love to on Tumblr as well.
