Nov. 10, 2017: Reputation Dominates the Conversation

With the release of her new album, Reputation, Taylor Swift once again came out guns blazing. The most direct Kim and Kanye message comes from "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," the 13th track. The most telling lyrics come in the second verse, when Taylor sings, "It was so nice being friends again / There I was, giving you a second chance / But then you stabbed my back while shaking my hand / And therein lies the issue / Friends don't try to trick you / Get you on the phone and mind-twist you."

Aside from the obvious reference to the infamous phone call, there's also a point where Taylor toasts to her "real friends," which is the title of a Kanye song.
