Why everyone is talking about Kanye West's 'Famous' video

Taylor Swift isn't happy about it.

Published 27th Jun 2016

Kanye West is known for his outrageous behaviour but his latest video for ‘Famous’ may be his most controversial move to date.

Trying to ‘break the Internet’ like his wife Kim, the rapper released the video over the weekend and it featured a number of 'celebrities' completely naked. It's unclear who in the video, which features the likes of Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Ray J, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, George Bush, Anna Wintour and Caitlyn Jenner, is just a lookalike. However Talyor was quick to confirm that is definitely not her.

A source close to Taylor told HollywoodLife “Taylor is livid and horrified. She didn’t know what to do when she heard about what Kanye did. She is bewildered, feels betrayed and is beyond frustrated with Kanye."

However according to TMZ, Kanye has revealed most of the celebrities in the video are not lookalikes.

Of course this isn’t the first time Taylor and Kanye have come to blows. The ‘Blank Space’ singer criticises the rapper a few months ago for namechecking her in his song. Kanye sings ‘I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex, I made that b**** famous’.

Although Kanye’s wife Kim admitted Taylor had actually approved the lyrics, Taylor continues to deny the claims.

Twitter went into total meltdown after Kanye aired his controversial video at the weekend, with many expressing different opinions about it.

You can watch Kanye’s video in full on Tidal now.

Happier news for the Taylor Swift team is that things seem to be going strong with new beau Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleswift have been spotted strolling in the English countryside, meeting each other's parents and in general packing on the PDA.

We've still got our fingers crossed we might see the potential future Mr Bond riding an inflatable swan with Tay. That's when we'll know it's serious.
