Taylor-Watch 2017: Everything we Know So Far

Taylor Swift has been everything possible in pop culture -- A famous country star, a platinum-selling pop star, a philanthropist, a queen of break-ups, and - even though for a split second - the queen of Instagram.
But fast-forward to late 2016, Taylor Swift is in a very heated feud with Kanye West and his reality star wife Kim Kardashian; and is also going through a very controversial breakup with DJ Calvin Harris.
Just keep you caught up: Kanye releases Famous featuring Rihanna, song where he claims to have "that bitch [Taylor] famous." Kanye and Kim claim that Taylor was aware of the song before its release, Taylor claims she wasn't. On the other hand, after calling out Swift for silly reasons, the world gets to find out that Calvin's hit song This is What You Came For, also featuring Rihanna (what a denominator) was written by Taylor under a pseudonym. Crazy right?
Well it only gets crazier when Kim releases footage of Kanye on the phone with Taylor where she approves of the song. And then, in that moment, Taylor dawns a new name: The Snake!

Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days! 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
