What is the feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian?

The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian originated from an incident at the 2009 VMAs when Kanye West, Kim's ex-husband, interrupted Taylor's acceptance speech, claiming she didn't deserve the award for best female video. In Kanye's 2016 song "Famous," he controversially rapped, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b*tch famous." Taylor objected to the lyrics, labeling them misogynistic.
