Taylor Swift is not OK with being mentioned in Kanye West's 'misogynistic' new song
KANYE WEST REVEALED his new album The Life of Pablo last night at a massive fashion show in New York, which was screened live in cinemas across the world.

The clothes were, as ever, slightly baffling, but one particular song stuck out. On the track Famous, West includes a lyric that appears to reference his beef with Taylor Swift:
West and Swift famously clashed at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when the rapper invaded the stage as Swift collected an award.
They have since patched things up, and TMZ reports that West called Swift to give her a heads up about the ‘joke’ lyric.

However, New York Times music writer Jon Caramanica shared a statement from Taylor Swift’s spokesperson about the song, saying Kanye had called, but not to ask for ‘approval’.
Swift’s friends and family have responded angrily to the track – her brother Austin posted an Instagram video of him throwing his Yeezy trainers into the bin:

While model Gigi Hadid, who was at the event last night, tweeted that her attendance didn’t mean she condoned what West was rapping about:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
This is why we can’t have nice things, Kanye.
