Are You Team Kimye Or Tay-Tay?

Who is right and who is wrong?

Are You Team Kimye Or Tay-Tay?

When Kanye West dropped his latest album titled "The Life of Pablo," one track in particular took the media by storm. The song “Famous” has indeed lived up to its name, with West opening the song stating:

“For all my Southside n***** that know me best. I feel like me and Taylor [Taylor Swift] might still have sex. Why? I made that b**** famous.”

These three lines have ignited the biggest celebrity feud of the year, opening old wounds between West and Taylor Swift, and — potentially— tarnishing Swift's near perfect image.

As soon as the song was released, Swift’s camp went into full recovery mode, releasing statement after statement, explaining that she was not only offended but upset at West’s accusations.

Soon after, Swift made a speech at the Grammy’s, stating that, "...as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you will look around and you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world.”

Rumors began to swirl that West had actually called Swift before the song was released to gain her approval — hoping to avoid any trouble.

Swift’s camp harshly denied those rumors and the West-Swift drama seemed to come to an end, with West once again looking just as ridiculous as normal.

Yet on an average summer day, the unthinkable happened. Kim Kardashian released a video on her Snapchat account that shows West talking on the phone with Taylor Swift who not only gives her approval over the line “for all my Southside n***** that know me best. I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex” and even called the song a “compliment.”

Those who have loved Swift unconditionally for years, are having a hard time trying to decipher what is true, and what is false—what was mere confusion and what was, dare they say, a publicity stunt?

Swift has become not only a powerful role model for younger and older girls alike, but has also become a pillar in modern day feminism. She is your best friend, the girl next door, and also happens to be your favorite pop star.

Ever since her rise to fame, she has kept a near perfect image. She donates to charities under the radar, sends gifts to fans over the holidays, and bakes cookies with her friends. Yet in this battle between her and "Kimye," there is no clear good or bad.

The grey area continues to grow, which leaves people unable to see who is directly in the right and who is in the wrong. West stepped over the line with his comment on creating Swift's fame, yet if she had spoken to him about the song, that should have been made public.

Recently, Swift released a statement via Twitter citing that the leaked video was “character assassination” which leads to even more questions, and furthers the tensions between both parties.

Are you team Kimye? Or are you team Tay-Tay?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
