In addition to a feud with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris that had #TeamCalvin bashing her with snake imagery, Swift was met with backlash for publicly denouncing Kanye West for referencing her in his rap song, “Famous” which included the line “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b**ch famous.”
West’s famous reality show wife revealed in a Snapchat video that Swift had discussed the song with the rapper over the phone.
In short, she was labeled a “snake” for her supposed deception.

Understandably, Swifties are more than a little bit proud of their idol for turning a negative to a positive.
