Taylor Swift responds to Kanye and Kim Kardashian's 'character assassination'
Taylor Swift has Instagrammed a note responding to the footage of Kanye West's phone call to Swift that Kim Kardashian Snapchatted on Sunday night.
Swift points out that the footage of the conversation does not actually include Kanye letting her know that he would refer to her as a "bitch" in the song, and his word choice is what she takes issue with.
"Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me 'that bitch' in his song? It doesn't exist because it never happened," wrote Swift. "You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that bitch' to the entire world."

Swift goes on to state that she never heard a final version of the song to approve or disapprove of before West premiered it publicly at Madison Square Garden. Therefore, she claims, she was not fully aware of the song's misogyny.
Swift concludes the note by asking West and Kardashian to keep their distance.
