A Timeline Of Kanye West And Taylor Swift's Feud

One year later, and Taylor Swift had mopped up every last drop of venom hurled her way and used it as ammunition for her self-referential beefy bop, "Look What You Made Me Do."

One year later, and Taylor Swift had mopped up every last drop of venom hurled her way and used it as ammunition for her self-referential beefy bop, "Look What You Made Me Do." In a sssneaky callback, Swift fiendishly began sharing snake videos on her Instagram (via Cosmopolitan) in the build-up to the song's release, leaving little doubt as to who or what the song would be addressing.

As Harper's Bazaar pointed out, the song has references to Kanye West, such as the "tilted stage" she sings about in her opening lines — which seem to be a nod at West's Saint Pablo Tour's angled stage set-up. Most notably, however, the song's closing lyrics see Swift reclaiming the "R.I.P Taylor Swift" memes for her own, with the lines "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now/ Why? Oh! Cause she's dead!" aptly sounding like a phone recording. 

Swift's music video stayed on point and featured a myriad of visual references to the ongoing battle of West vs. Swift. Featuring a rogue's gallery of Swift's different musical personas over the years, the music video notably features a moment where Swift recreates her 2009 VMA's look and says, "I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative," while a character dressed suspiciously similar to Kim Kardashian is shown recording the star on her phone for "receipts" that she intends to "edit ... later." Shots fired!
