Taylor Swift reignites bitter feud with Kanye West and slams him as ‘two-faced’ and a liar
TAYLOR Swift has reignited her long-standing feud with Kanye West during an explosive tell-all interview.
It appears the singer, 29, still isn't over their previous beef after calling out the rapper for being "two-faced" in the past.
Their on-off feud began at the MTV VMAs in 2009 when Kanye stormed the stage after Taylor had just won Best Female Video and interrupted her acceptance speech saying "Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!"
But after dinners and conversations, Taylor revealed she "started to feel like we connected".
Talking to , the pop star admitted to wanting "approval" after feeling "antagonised" by the 42-year-old star following the incident.
She said: "I started to feel like we reconnected, which felt great for me — because all I ever wanted my whole career after that thing happened in 2009 was for him to respect me.
"I was so happy, because he would say really nice things about my music. It just felt like I was healing some childhood rejection or something from when I was 19."
However, Taylor explained how their relationship took a bitter turn after Kanye asked her to present him with the Vanguard award at the 2015 MTV VMAs.
But when Kanye got on stage, he claimed MTV had only asked Taylor to present the award to help boost ratings.
“I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body,” the singer said.
“I realised he is so two-faced. That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk s***.”
Taylor then admitted she felt betrayed once again after hearing the full lyrics to his song Famous, in which he boasted that the pair "might have sex", despite initially believing the song was a peace offering.
She added: “When I heard the song, I was like, ‘I’m done with this. If you want to be on bad terms, let’s be on bad terms, but just be real about it.'"
Swift also claimed to Rolling Stone that Kanye had also been involved in the exposing of Drake’s secret love child, saying: "He gravely affected the trajectory of Drake’s family and their lives."
During the interview, the star touched upon her resolved feud with Katy Perry, admitting they're now back on track.
Taylor and Katy had a friendly relationship right up into 2014, when Taylor revealed her song Bad Blood was about another woman in the music industry who she was now "straight-up enemies" with.
She said: "We’ve had some really good conversations.
"We were talking about how we’ve had miscommunications with people in the past, not even specifically with each other."
Nowadays, Taylor spends her time with British boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
The Sun's Bizarre column exclusively revealed how Taylor had been dating Joe since 2016.
But while the songwriter may choose not to publicly speak about her British beau, she isn't afraid to talk about their two year romance in her song lyrics.
Taylor continued: "Singing about something helps you to express it in a way that feels more accurate.

"You cannot, no matter what, put words in a quote and have it move someone the same way as if you heard those words with the perfect sonic representation of that feeling.
"There is that weird conflict in being a confessional songwriter and then also having my life, you know, 10 years ago, be catapulted into this strange pop-culture thing.”
The singer was recently ridiculed over the lyrics of her London Boy song by locals who insist it describes the day out from hell.
In an open love letter to Joe, Taylor sings about walking around in Camden Market in the afternoon, going to Highgate to meet his best mates and nights out in Brixton.
