Taylor-made response?

Taylor Swift accused by fans of prepping her reply to Kim Kardashian’s big Kanye phone call reveal

Eagle-eyed fans question when the singer wrote her response to Snapchat videos

TAYLOR Swift has been accused by eagle-eyed fans of pre-penning her response to Kim Kardashian's accusations that she lied about not giving husband Kanye West permission to use her name in his song, Famous.

The 26-year-old is currently locked in a bitter dispute with the celebrity couple over the rapper's latest track and whether Taylor agreed to him calling her "that b**ch" in one of the lyrics.

After Kim shared videos on Snapchat of Taylor and Kanye's phone conversation on Sunday, Taylor hit back the following day with an Instagram post accusing them of "character assassination".

But users of the social networking site were quick to question when Taylor had actually written the post, which was created on the iPhone app Notes, had the word 'search' in the top left-hand corner of the screenshot she used.

 The fact that Taylor's screenshot had 'search' in the top corner has lead many fans to believe she had prepared her response well in advance of the video being released

This means the singer had to find it within her list of notes, leading many to question how far in advance she knew about the media frenzy that would be caused by Kim's video revelation.

You had to search your notes for this that was written 6 months ago? pathetic", while another posted: "Big LOL to @taylorswift13 who used the search bar in her notes for her "comeback" response to @KimKardashian. Very original u sketchy whiner".

A number of people tweeted the star directly, with one saying: "@taylorswift13 girl you had this pre typed it's supposed to say 'notes' not search. Smh", while another added Taylor into her conversation with another Twitter user, saying: "@bre_88 @taylorswift13 yeah but notice how it says search not notes, like she had already written it bc she knew this was coming".

However some have leaped to the Shake It Off performer's defence, suggesting Taylor simply may not have posted it immediately after writing it, and that she could have penned an initial response hours or minutes earlier, before going back in to edit it.

In her post, Taylor said her issue was with the fact the 39-year-old had called her "that b**ch", and not the fact he raps that he would consider having sex with her - which she described in the recording posted by Kim as "a compliment".

She wrote: "Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me 'that b***h' in his song?

"It doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that b***h' in front of the entire world."

Taylor added that while she wanted to be supportive of Kanye during the call, she couldn't 'approve' a song she hadn't heard.

She added: "Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.

"I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I never asked to be part of, since 2009."

However The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that Taylor is seriously considering taking legal action against Kanye and Kim, 35, as her legal team are convinced the couple have violated California penal code 632 which makes it illegal to record calls without permission from both sides.

If charged with the felony, the couple could be sent to prison for three years.
