<\/p>\nTAYLOR Swift has accused Kim Kardashian of taking her down psychologically after her public feud with the reality star and her then-husband Kanye West in 2016.<\/p>\n
The rapper wrote vulgar lyrics about the pop star in his song Famous which she claimed to deny approval of before the release.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Now Taylor, 33, has slammed Kim, 43, for "taking her down psychologically" and "forcing her into hiding" for a year during their long-running dispute.<\/p>\n
The singer – who was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year – has opened up about the altercation in an interview with the outlet.<\/p>\n
She claimed that the public fallout felt like "a career death," saying: "Make no mistake \u2014 my career was taken away from me."<\/p>\n
Taylor explained: "You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.<\/p>\n
"That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls."<\/p>\n
She continued: "I pushed away most people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard."<\/p>\n
Taylor's next 2017 album Reputation was said to be largely focused on her experience with the incident.<\/p>\n
The songwriter's choice to use snake imagery in the album was claimed to be a veiled reference to Kim, which reignited the war between the celebrities and their fandoms.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "I thought that moment of backlash was going to define me negatively for the rest of my life," she noted.<\/p>\n Taylor also spoke about how a life of fame can be fickle, adding: "Nothing is permanent. So I'm very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level, because I've had it taken away from me before.\u00a0<\/p>\n "There is one thing I've learned: My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things. Keep making art.<\/p>\n "But I've also learned there's no point in actively trying to quote unquote defeat your enemies. Trash takes itself out every single time."<\/p>\n After about seven years of discord between Taylor and Kanye – beginning with their viral moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards – in February 2016, tensions reached an all-time high.<\/p>\n Kanye referenced Taylor in the lyrics of his hit, Famous, and the country star took offense at the rapper's words: For all my South Side n****s that know me best \/ I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex \/ Why? I made that b***h famous.<\/p>\n The music video release also included the naked songwriter lying in his bed next to him along with a slew of other celebrities and a nude Kim on the opposite side.<\/p>\n When controversy broke out over the lyric, Kanye defended his choice, claiming he had a conversation with Taylor about the words ahead of time.<\/p>\n But Taylor denied that she approved the words, and continued to accuse the rapper of lying.<\/p>\n This decision prompted Kim to release a partial recording of the call where the singer allegedly permitted her mention in the track.<\/p>\n In the recording, Taylor was heard saying: "I'm really glad you had the respect to call me that and tell me that as a friend, about the song. It's just a really cool thing to do, and a really good show of friendship."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/new-hackney-comp-jmac.jpg\")
