Taylor Swift seems to diss on Kanye West in 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things' and Twitter's loving it
Squad, Taylor Swift's reputation has landed, and it was never going to be without a few swipes.
The pop mogul's highly anticipated sixth studio album has dropped, with one of the tracks generating a significant amount of buzz, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things."
It's (look, probably) a big swipe at Swift's big frenemy, Kanye West.
Co-written with producer pal Jack Antonoff, the track appears to make a few digs at the rapper, who Swift has had a complicated friendship with over the last few years, from the 2015 Grammys to the West's "Famous" lyric, right up until that phone call.
“‘Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do / I can’t even say it with a straight face,” Swift sings with a cackle.
In fact, all the lyrics are pretty full-on:
It was so nice being friends again There I was giving you a second chance
But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand
And therein lies the issue
Friends don't try to trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
Folks on Twitter are lapping it up.

Last time Swift took on the Kardashian-Wests, Kim used Snapchat to set the whole thing on fire.
Where the heck is that popcorn...
