Remember all the controversy about Kanye West's song Famous and how it claims he and Taylor Swift "might have sex"? And remember how when Taylor accepted her Album Of The Year Grammy she subtly called him out in front of the audience, warning young women that "people along the way will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame"?

And do you also remember how Kim Kardashian pulled her up on her comments during an interview with GQ, in which she said she had a recording of the video call in which Kanye ran his controversial line past Taylor for her approval?

WELL GUESS WHAT?

Kim's only gone and released that video call on her Snapchat.

In a month designed to really kick Taylor while she's down, Kim has hinted that Tay-Tay is a snake on Twitter…

Pointed out the difference between shade and truth…

AND pointed people in the direction of her Snapchat to find out what went down.

Then this happened:

In the footage, the person at the end of the phone – thought by everyone in the world to be Taylor – repeatedly thanks Kanye for calling to check she'd be OK with the lyric, and even says "it's like a compliment, kind of".

She even tells Kanye she's come up with a plan to handle the media questioning her on that line.

"You know, if people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, 'Look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out'. Like, joke's on you guys, we're fine.

"You guys wanna call this a feud, you wanna call this throwing shade. But right after the song comes out I'm gonna be on a Grammy red carpet and they're gonna ask me about it and I'm gonna be like, he called me," she adds.

However, since Kim released the evidence on Snapchat, Taylor has responded hard on Twitter – and she's really not happy about it all.

"Of course I wanted to like the song," she writes.

"While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard.

"Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009."
