Regarding the alleged events of the Super Bowl, he said that “They didn’t kick me out, we left our seats to go see some friends. “My wife had never been to a Super Bowl so we wanted to have a nice time and we had a very fun day,” she said.

Why does Kanye West have problems with Swifties?
Let us remember that The dispute between the Swifties and Kanye West dates back to 2009more than a decade ago, when the rapper took the stage at the Video Music Awards to interrupt Taylor Swift while she was accepting an award.
Over there, He took the microphone from her and stated that it was Beyonce who had to receive that award and not her.. By then, Taylor Swift was only 20 years old and had just released her second album Fearless.
At that time, Taylor did not comment much on the matter, other than to say that he had not understood such a reaction. However, in 2017 she finally defended herself, after Kanye West mentioned her in his single Famousensuring that it was he who made her famous.
In that song, he not only mentioned the singer, but also included her in its music video. Of course, it was not her, but an identical wax replica, lying naked on a bed next to other famous people of the moment such as Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West himself.
After this episode, the singer received a lot of hate, so she disappeared from the public eye for a while until she returned with her album Reputationwhere although did not explicitly mention Ye, it is presumed that his hit Look What You Made Me Do is inspired by the events that occurred after the launch of Famous.
