In a surprising turn of events, fans are buzzing about what appears to be a subtle clapback from Taylor Swift to Kanye West’s recent lyrics in “Vultures 2,” where he references NFL star Travis Kelce. Swifties are convinced the pop icon’s latest move is a sly response. What’s the tea? Click here to find out!

Kanye West’s new album featured a reference to Taylor Swift and her relationship with Travis Kelce, and now fans are convinced that Swift has made a subtle response to the rapper.

It marked the second instalment of the duo’s ‘Vultures’ series, which kicked off with the first album dropping in February this year.

In it, West and Ty Dolla $ign are joined by a range of famous faces, with Young Thug, Future, and Lil Wayne all collaborating on the tracklist. Soon after it dropped, fans were quick to notice how the latter used his appearance on the LP to make a reference to Taylor Swift.

I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” Lil Wayne raps on the song ‘Lifestyle’, with the line referencing Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce, who has the NFL position as a tight end.

While West himself doesn’t mention the singer or the athlete at all in the album, fans have been quick to hone in on the Lil Wayne lyric because of Ye’s longtime feud with the pop star – which began in 2009 when he stormed the stage as Swift accepted her first VMA, claiming Beyoncé should have won instead.

Now, some fans are convinced that, while Swift hasn’t said anything overtly, she may have responded subtly while on stage.
While performing in Poland as part of her extensive ‘Eras Tour’ on Saturday – the same day that the album dropped – Taylor wore her famous T-shirt that read, “I Bet You Think About Me”.

While it is a reference to one of the songs from her 2021 album ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’, some are certain it was no coincidence that she wore it on the day the album arrived.

What’s more, Taylor also released a new digital version of her latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ on that same day, and it was available to buy for only 24 hours. This meant that her album returned to the top of the album charts, seemingly blocking ‘Vultures 2’ from taking the position.

She’s so funny for wearing the I bet you think about me shirt after Ka*ye name dropped her and Travis in his song an actual comedian

Swift addressed the situation again in her December 2023 Time Person of the Year interview. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before,” she claimed at the time. “I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really,

Though the pair seemed to make amends at the 2015 Grammys, things quickly soured when West released his ‘Famous’ song and video. There, he rapped about how Swift “owes” him sex and referred to her as a “bitch”, and additionally portrayed her nude in bed (via wax figurine) with a gaggle of other celebrities.
really hard.”

More recently, she dropped a track on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ that many speculate is about her feud with Kardashian. Titled ‘thanK you aIMee’, the capitalised letters in the title spell out ‘KIM’, and its lyrics are about a “bronze, spray-tanned” high school bully that some have claimed make reference to the reality star.
