Kanye West fuels fan theories as he unfollows everyone but Taylor Swift on Instagram before 67th Grammys

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After more than a decade, Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s feud has reached a new dimension. The Yeezy founder is now proudly flaunting his following list on Instagram, which conspicuously has just one name - that of the ‘Cassandra’ singer - sparking wild speculations.

West, 47, who is now known to his fans as Ye, often finds himself under the spotlight because of his social media activities. 

This time around, in a surprising move, the father-of-four has unfollowed everyone on Instagram, except Taylor Swift, and he did not miss the opportunity to gloat about the same on his Instagram Stories.

Kanye West unfollows everyone save Taylor Swift on Instagram

Kanye West and Taylor Swift, who have one of the most talked about feuds in the music industry, first butted heads in 2009, when the ‘Famous’ singer interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech during the MTV VMAs. 

Nevertheless, their equation has once again come to the fore with West unfollowing everyone except the 14-time Grammy winner. This comes just before the 67th Grammy Awards which will take place on Sunday, February 2.

West, who has been nominated for ‘Carnival’, also removed all of his Instagram posts except the one where he announced his renewed position as a billionaire and the other post celebrating his ‘Carnival’ nomination. 

Soon, the comment sections of both posts were flooded with speculative theories, with fans claiming he is the “biggest Swiftie".

How Taylor Swift and Kanye West's infamous feud began

Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s feud, spanning over 15 years, first erupted in 2009.

Swift won the Best Female Video for 'You Belong With Me' at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. As Swift, then 19, was giving her acceptance speech, the ‘Donda’ rapper unceremoniously took the mic, and said, "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." 

Though they appeared to reconcile later on, they fell out again after the 2016 incident surrounding West’s ‘Famous’ lyrics. In the song, he controversially included the lyrics, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have s*x / Why? I made that b***h famous / I made that b***h famous," per Business Insider.

When the song came out, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer claimed that she had no idea that West would call her "b***h" in the song, though the rapper and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian implied otherwise.

Soon, Kardashian claimed that she had a phone call recorded to "prove" that Swift knew about the lyrics. The SKIMS founder also shared with GQ, "She totally approved that; she wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't." 

Nevertheless, Swift always said that she had no idea and that the incident felt like "a career death".

"Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me,” the 'Cruel Summer' singer said.

While speaking to TIME, Swift said, "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."

"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."
