About this episode
Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s feud has spanned well over a decade, morphing from a single shocking awards show moment into one of pop culture’s most enduring rivalries.
Both artists have deftly commercialised the conflict, turning personal grievance into consistent headlines and platinum sales. With the release of Swift's The Life of a Showgirl creating speculation that it's a nod to Kanye’s The Life of Pablo, suggestion the beef is far from over.
In this episode of The Beefing, Alexandria Funnell dissects how the feud ignited, why it has endured for so long, and how both Swift and West have survived mass cancellation to emerge as masters of reinvention.
