White women, after all, have consistently been complicit in racism. Whether she's dating Healy or this is all an elaborate PR scheme, Swift has proven herself to be another white woman who claims to be an ally, claims Black Lives Matter and calls herself a feminist - but only as long as it serves her. To be 'neutral' is to still be complicit in racism. (Though Swift has said it was the rapper's team who reached out first.) The star's silence is loud. And considering the timing, as well as how Swift's girl squad is predominately white, it felt an awful lot like the ole 'I'm not racist I have a Black friend' defense, as if that shields you from prejudice. Rather than commenting on the controversies of her alleged new beau or denouncing his remarks, Swift decided to team up with rapper Ice Spice in a move that many felt was obvious damage control.

Swift is Miss Americana, an icon who's worked painstakingly hard to keep her reputation clean and pure. Prior to the remix, rumors began that Healy and Swift were dating, having been spotted at each other's shows.

Unimaginatively, the source of the drama begins with a man: Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975. But u should speak on this.'

Taylor's 'Bad Blood' video, which featured a slew of models and actresses, took the tweet as a diss and responded, 'I've done nothing but love & support you.

After it was revealed that Nicki's 'Anaconda' music video was not nominated for Video of the Year at the 2015 MTV VMAs, she tweeted, ' If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.' Some fans speculated that Nicki was merely referencing the lyrics to Kendrick Lamar's single 'Humble.'īut if her statement is directly connected to Taylor's new release, it wouldn't be surprising. On Thursday night, about 40 minutes after Taylor Swift dropped her anticipated new single, revealed to be titled ' Look What You Made Me Do,' the rapper took to Twitter to write, 'N-a sit down.
