Kanye West has reignited his infamous feud with Taylor Swift, making a notable reference to her in his new track, “Lifestyle (Demo),” from the album Vultures 2.
The 46-year-old rapper’s lyrics, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” directly allude to Swift and her current boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
While neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce, both 34, have issued public statements regarding the diss, Swift’s fans believe she may have delivered a subtle retort during her August 3rd concert in Warsaw, Poland, as part of her Eras Tour.
During her performance of the song “Red,” Swift wore a shirt featuring the number “22” and the phrase, “I Bet You Think About Me”—a phrase from her song of the same name.
Fans quickly took to social media to interpret Swift’s choice of attire as a deliberate response to West’s lyrics.
One fan on X commented, “She’s so funny for wearing the ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ shirt after Kanye name-dropped her and Travis in his song, an actual comedian.”
The ongoing feud between Swift and West has been a topic of public fascination since 2009, when West infamously interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Swift later addressed the incident in her song “Innocent,” and the tension further escalated with West’s 2016 track “Famous,” which included a controversial lyric about Swift.
West claimed that he had Swift’s permission for the lyric, a claim that Swift denied.
This claim led to a public dispute, further fueled by Kim Kardashian’s release of a video of a conversation between the two, which was later criticized for being edited.
In her 2023 TIME Person of the Year profile, Swift reflected on the controversy, describing it as “a career death.”
Her recent concert outfit choice suggests that while she may not engage directly with West’s provocations, she remains keenly aware of the ongoing feud and continues to address it through her artistry and public appearances.
