Fans Speculate Taylor Swift’s New Track ‘Cassandra’ Is About Kanye West Feud

As fans, journalists and critics all try to scramble to decode all 31 tracks on Taylor Swift’s newly-released (surprise!) double album The Tortured Poets Department, there seems to be a consensus that one particular track is about Kanye West.

While it’s not hard to see that that Swift’s “thanK you aIMee” appears to be a direct reference to Kim Kardashian, West’s ex-wife and co-conspirator in the “Famous” phone call drama — her name is literally in all caps in the song title — it’s “Cassandra” that also seems to hint at the same drama, this time with more of West’s involvement.

In the first verse of the song, Swift sings about moving into her “new house,” which is where she was “when she got the call” — a line that seemingly refers to West’s 2016 phone call to Swift, in which he asked for permission to use her name in his song “Famous.” (Swift agreed on the phone call, which Kardashian recorded and subsequently released — though Swift later pointed out that she never approved of West’s use to refer to her as a “b****” on the track.)

“When it’s ‘Burn the b****,’ they’re shrieking / When the truth comes out, it’s quiet,” she sings on the chorus of the song.

Swift also seems to refer to the whole Kardashian family as well as the Sunday services West started.

“They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time / That I was onto somethin’ / The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line,” she sings on the bridge. “They all said nothin’ / Blood’s thick, but nothin’ like a payroll / Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul.”

Fans immediately picked up on the clues in the song.
