Taylor Swift Cracks Up Singing About ‘Forgiveness’ During Performance Of Kanye-Inspired Song: ‘Can’t Even Say It With A Straight Face’
etcanada.comTaylor Swift cracked herself up while performing a song inspired by her long-running feud with Kanye West. During her acoustic set at Saturday night’s Eras Tour show at Seattle’s Lumen Field, Swift accompanied herself on guitar to perform “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”.
The track, from her 2017 Reputation album, is rumoured to be her response to West’s 2016 song “Famous”, in which he rapped, “I made that b***h famous,” and the back-and-forth controversy that followed.
One line in particular is seemingly aimed directly at West: “It was so nice being friends again / where I was giving you a second chance / but you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand.” READ MORE: How Taylor Swift Finally Addressed Her Feud With Kanye West And Kim Kardashian On ‘Reputation’ As she sang, another line in the song proved to be too much for her. “And here’s to you, ’cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do,” she sang, abruptly stopping the song to break into laughter, doubling over and cackling hysterically before eventually pulling herself together. “I can’t even say it with a straight face,” she told the crowd, still laughing.
After the release of “Famous”, Swift claimed to be blindsided by West’s “I made that b***h famous” line, referencing when he infamously crashed her MTV VMAs awards acceptance to insist the award she was accepting should have gone to Beyonce.
