Kim Kardashian’s Instagram flooded with snake emojis after Taylor Swift’s bombshell interview in which she claimed star ‘took her down psychologically’ amid Kanye West row
Snake emojis have been all over Kim Kardashian’s Instagram comments since Taylor Swift’s sʜᴏᴄᴋɪɴɢ TIME Magazine interview was published this week.
In an interview with Time Magazine, Swift, 33, who had been awarded Person of the Year, attacked Kim, saying that the long-running conflict had taken her “down psychologically” and forced her into hiding. The reality star and her ex-husband Kanye West were also quietly called “trash” by her.
‘Wait it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!?’ Kim memorably tweeted in 2016.These days, there are holidays for everyone and everything!
The majority of the pop icon’s 2017 follow-up album Reputation, which was heavily referenced to the mother-of-four Kim, was directed towards her experiences during the trauma.
Following the interview, many fans brought up her beef with Taylor by mentioning it with the notorious snake emoji in the comments area.

The 33-year-old singer, who was voted Person of the Year by TIME Magazine, discussed the controversy that erupted in 2016 after Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West used derogatory lyrics about her.
Kim Kardashian’s apology to Taylor over Kanye’s call “STILL stands”
It all happened only hours after Taylor’s Person of the Year interview with Time Magazine was released, in which the pop singer discussed the conflict that erupted after Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West included lewd lyrics about the budding star in a song he produced in 2016.
He asserted that Taylor had given her permission for the remark, but the pop star refuted this allegation when Kim intervened and made public what she called “an illegally recorded phone call” between the two, proving her point.
As of right now, Taylor claims that the negative publicity felt like “a career ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ,” emphasizing, “Make no mistake—my career was taken away from me.”
Taylor told the site, “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” in reference to the fallout and the terrible toll that it took on her wellness.
That knocked me down to a level of psychological collapse I’ve never experienced. I relocated to another nation. It took me a year to move out of a rental home. I was terrified to answer the phone.
Swift started dating British actor Joe Alwyn in late 2016, though she didn’t say where she moved. It was widely speculated that she had rented a house in London to be closer to him.
She practically disappeared from the public view during that time, which she attributes to the rift between Kardashian and West.
I stopped trusting people, therefore I turned away the majority of the individuals in my life. I took a really, extremely bad fall.
In the wake of the interview numerous fans referenced her feud with Taylor by dropping the infamous snake emoji in the comments section.
When Taylor, then 19 years old, accepted the Best Female Video trophy for You Belong with Me at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, it seemed as though an unexpected conflict between her and Kim and Kanye had begun.
In 2016 Kim would famously tweet: ‘Wait it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!’
The pop icon focused a large portion of her 2017 follow-up album, Reputation, on her experiences during the ordeal.

“I believed that incident of backlash would negatively define me for the rest of my life,” she said.
However, Taylor’s career has only gotten better in the years that have passed, even while many of her opponents, like Kanye, have had serious setbacks.
Following a string of anti-Semitic comments, the 46-year-old rapper recently lost a number of sponsorship deals.
Kim hasn’t responded to the controversy yet, and she even used Instagram to promote her business SKIMS by posing in shapewear.
When Taylor, then 19 years old, accepted the Best Female Video trophy for You Belong with Me at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, it seemed as though an unexpected conflict between her and Kim and Kanye had begun.
Unexpectedly, during her victory speech, Kanye leaped onto the stage, snatched the microphone from her grasp, and said, “Hey, Taylor, I’m so proud of you and Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had the greatest video ever.” Among the greatest vids ever made!
Afterwards, when Taylor won Video of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), Beyonce summoned the country music star up on stage to try to defuse the tension.
However, the hostility only increased when the father of four made fun of the celebrity at the 2015 VMAs.
Kanye quipped, “You know how many times they announced Taylor was going to give me the award because it got them more ratings?” and it seemed the two were getting along.
Taylor denied that Kanye had given her permission, but Kim countered by releasing what she called “an illegally taped phone call” between the two, which she said demonstrated the contrary.
In 2016, Kim Kardashian belted out Kanye’s Taylor Swift songs.
But Taylor later revealed that his remarks really annoyed her, saying that while he publicly claimed it was for the ratings, behind closed doors he was pleading with her to join him on stage because it would “mean so much.”
“I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body,” Taylor subsequently stated to Rolling Stone. He is really deceitful, I realized.
“That he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone, and talk s**t, but he also wants to be nice to me behind the scenes.” And I was furious.
After Kanye made a reference to Taylor in the lyrics of his popular song “Famous,” the tensions reached an explosive boiling point by February of 2016.
Along with a plethora of other celebs, the music video that went with it also included a ɴᴜᴅᴇ Taylor lying in bed next to him, with Kim in the opposite state.
Taylor denied having a conversation with Kanye about the disputed lyrics prior to the phrase being released, but he still stood by it.
Kim shared a snippet of the call that was under scrutiny after Taylor persisted in her accusations that Kanye had lied to her about requesting permission to mention her in his lyrics.
“I’m so happy that you respected me enough to call me that and share that information about the song with me as a friend.” Taylor is heard remarking, “It’s just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship.”
Since then, there have been subtle jabs exchanged between the parties involved in the rivalry.
But more recently, Kim seemed to provide an update when she appeared with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney on an E! chat show in 2019.
During a round of Squash That Beef, hosted by Andy Cohen, the reality star brushed off the notion that she and the Reputation singer were still at odds.
About the feud, she told Cohen, “Over it.”
Kim claimed that instead of working things out through dialogue, she chose to give the situation some time to pass.
When asked if they had spoken, she said, “No,” to Andy. I believe that everyone has moved on.
In a similar vein, when Kim was asked during an interview last year which Taylor Swift song she liked most, she replied, “I really like a lot of her songs.” They’re all really endearing and charming. To find a name, I would need to check my phone.
