Unleashing Fire: Joe Rogan’s Bold and Controversial Take on Taylor Swift
Joe Rogan has caused quite a stir by agreeing with Kanye West’s controversial statement that he made Taylor Swift famous. The feud between West, now known as “Ye,” and Swift dates back to the 2009 MTV VMAs when West infamously interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé should have won. Years later, West released the song “Famous,” which included the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b**** famous.” This led to a public dispute between Swift and West, with Swift denouncing the misogynistic lyric.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan and comedian Shane Gillis discussed the incident, with Rogan stating that Swift “wasn’t that big back then,” and Gillis agreeing that West “made that b*** famous.” The clip of this conversation was shared on social media, sparking a debate among fans of Swift and West. While some argue that West did indeed elevate Swift’s fame by interrupting her at the VMAs, others believe Swift was already a well-established artist in her own right.
Kim Kardashian, West’s former wife, defended him by releasing a phone conversation between West and Swift, where they appeared to discuss the controversial lyric. However, a 25-minute unedited version of the video later emerged, proving that Swift was not fully informed about the lyric before it was released. Despite the controversy, Swift has continually risen above the drama, speaking out about the impact it had on her mental health and career.
Swift, named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, opened up about the feud with West and Kardashian, describing the backlash she faced as a “career death.” She emphasized the toll it took on her psychologically, leading her to retreat from the public eye for a period. However, Swift has since reclaimed her throne, breaking records with her Eras Tour and proving that she is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
In conclusion, despite the controversies and challenges she has faced, Taylor Swift’s resilience and talent have catapulted her to legendary status in the music world. She continues to inspire fans with her music and unwavering determination, solidifying her place as one of the greatest artists of our time.
