Taylor Swift gives foe Kim Kardashian the ultimate birthday present: her 10th studio album.
After a headline-making teaser announcement at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, the “Style” singer revealed she will be releasing a new album called “Midnights” on October 21, which is no ordinary Friday.
The date — perhaps coincidentally, though Swifties know the pop star makes every decision intentionally — is the “Kardashians” star’s birthday.
Swifties, casual fans and mere gossip flooded Twitter with theories that the “All Too Well” artist was shadowing Kardashian, with whom she has feuded since 2016, after the reality star, 41, leaked a phone call in which Swift, 32, gave Kanye West allowed to use the lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor may still have sex”.
“Taylor Swift announces a new album on the 13th anniversary of the Kanye West VMA s–tshow, 5 years after LWYMMD’s premiere at the VMAs, which will fall on Kim Kardashian’s birthday, is ICON behavior. #MeetMeAtMidnight,” a fan tweeted, referring to West, 45, interrupting Swift’s speech at the 2009 awards ceremony.
Taylor Swift’s new album comes out on the same day as Kim Kardashian’s birthday, she announced it 13 years after the kanye incident at the VMAs AND on the same date, Carly Rae Jepsen’s drops her new album, which is managed by scooter Braun,” another fan wrote, referring to Swift’s feud with music manager Braun.
Taylor Swift will release a new album on October 21. she announced the album 13 years after that vmas accident with kan*e. Do you know who was born on October 21? Kim Kardashian. i like blonde. she’s so crazy,” another tweeted.
Swift responded to Kardashian’s bombshell Snapchat leak with a statement describing the move as “character assassination,” saying she was “mistakenly portrayed as a liar” as the shared clips suggested she endorsed all of the lyrics.
“Where is the video of Kanye telling me he would call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist, because it never happened,’ she angrily. “I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did.”
