Taylor laughed out loud during the song as sheplayed an acoustic rendition at Seattle’s Lumen Field. “And here’s to you, ’cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do,” Taylor sang before bursting into laughter. “I can’t even say it with a straight face,” the 33-year-old said after composing herself.

Taylor and Kanye’s feud began at the 2009 VMAs, when he interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Video by a Female Artist. The two stars appeared to resolve their issues in the following years, but Kanye released a track titled ‘Famous’ in 2016, calling Taylor “that bi***” in the lyrics. Kanye claimed Taylor gave him the permission to use that term in his track. Taylor, however, refuted the claim.

Kim Kardashian later released a recording and called Taylor a “snake.” Kim’s video appeared to show Taylor approving Kanye’s lyrics.
