Sunday's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians was basically the after party for the#TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.
At the beginning of the show, Kim Kardashian attempted to "brace" Kris Jenner about Kanye West 's upcoming Famous video, which features nude forms of celebrities like Chris Brown ,Amber Rose and Yeezy's frenemy, Taylor Swift .
As a refresher, Mr. West references half of Hiddleswift in the track from The Life of Pabloalbum.
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. / Why? I made that (expletive) famous."
"She did, but she was acting like she didn't," Kim told the father of her sister's three kids. Kim also told him the conversation was recorded.
"It was really important to (Kanye) when he was writing the song Famous that he spoke to (Swift)," Kim told the cameras in an interview. "And, they knew it was gonna be controversial. The camera crew filmed him speaking to Taylor and got their whole conversation. So, I think he definitely really cared about how she felt."
"I think she got freaked out by the reaction and all of a sudden she flipped," Kim told Scott.
Later, while Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian were in glam, they called Kim for an update on the Swift sitch.
"The (video) clip is so good," Kim told her sisters on the phone. "She told everyone at the table, 'Well, I mean it's true, whatever. Kanye totally made me more famous.' And so that's (why) Kanye came up with the line, but whatever."
To the cameras, Khloé said "All I know is I saw the video, I've heard Taylor, and I think that Kanye did the right thing."
In a conversation with Kourtney, Kim told her about her recent interview with GQ. Kim said a reporter asked her how it made her feel when her husband raps about having sex with other women.
"I never talk expletive about anyone, like publicly — especially in interviews," Kim told Kourtney. "But I was just like, 'I've so had it.' I just felt like I wanted to defend him in it. 'Cause it's like she legitimately quote says, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press I was in on it.'" (Instead she made this Grammys speech, which seemed to contain a dig for Kanye.)
"And then she just didn't like the reaction?" Kourtney asked Kim.
"Yeah and you know, just another way to play the victim. Definitely got her a lot of attention the first time (a reference to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech). I just don't think that he should be punished for it still to this day," Kim said.
Kim explained to cameras exactly how fed up she is. "At this point, I really don't give a (expletive). So, I'll do whatever to protect my husband."
Kourtney praised her younger sister for her honesty.
"Yeah, I'm just speaking the truth," Kim said. "He called her, spoke to her. She even helped him rewrite. It's so wild."
In a meeting with Kim, Kris suggested she call Swift to talk it out, but Kim quickly shot down her advice.
"I mean at this point, I'm just over it," Kim confessed to the cameras. "At this point, I know the truth. I know everyone around me knows the truth. We all do. So it is what it is. You know? There's nothing we can really do about it."
Still, Kim couldn't help but address the controversy on Twitter Sunday night.
She also shared video of a conversation between Kanye and a voice people assume is Swift on Snapchat.
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex," Kanye can be heard telling the person on the other end of the phone.
"It's like a compliment kind of," the voice said and later added, "I really appreciate you telling me about it. That's really nice."
Obviously, Kanye later changed the lyrics to include an obscenity, which according to Swift seems to be the real issue. In a NSFW Instagram, which seems to confirm it is Swift on the recording, she shared a screenshot of her response.
"Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me 'that (expletive)' in his song? It doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that (expletive) in front of the entire world. Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009."
Swift captioned her post, "That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet."
Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on E!.
