Kim Kardashian could not help herself when gushing about her favorite artist, who happened to be Taylor Swift, in a 2009 interview. Apparently, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star told Entertainment Tonight that she was the "biggest Taylor Swift fan" and even revealed that the number one song on her playlist was "Love Story."
“I’m watching her on Twitter, I just signed up on Twitter. I’m watching you, Taylor, following,” she added.

Taylor, Kanye, Kim: What went wrong?
Everything was going well between the two for several years.
In fact, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have shared beautiful moments on and off the camera until Kanye West referred to the "Blank Space" artist as the "b*tch" he made famous in his single "Famous" released in 2016.
The release has caused lyrical drama among fans and celebrities who slammed the rapper for his reference of the singer-songwriter. After he saw the backlash, Kanye West explained that he personally called Taylor Swift to ask for her approval of the lyrics.
"She thought it was funny and gave her blessings,” he recalled. "I did not diss Taylor Swift and I've never dissed her."
The rapper explained that the "B" word is considered an "endearing term" in hip hop before he credited the "Shake It Off" singer for suggesting some parts of the controversial lyrics.
An affiliate of Taylor Swift, however, clarified that Kanye West did not ask for approval, but rather requested the female to promote "Famous" on her social media accounts.
“She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message," the representative claimed.
Kim exposes Taylor's true colors
Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, came to her husband's defense and insisted that Taylor Swift did give her approval on the song verse. The socialite added that "many respected people in the music business" can testify about the phone conversation wherein the "Speak Now" singer gave her blessings.
The singer-songwriter, through a representative, admitted that she and the rapper spoke over the phone where she declined to promote his song on her Twitter account. “Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term "that b*tch" in referencing her," it said.
After the exchange of statements from both parties, Kim Kardashian finally dropped the bomb when she uploaded a video footage of Kanye West and Taylor Swift's phone conversation. The "Look What You Made Me Do" singer was even heard saying, "It's like a compliment," after the rapper read the lyrics.
Since then, Kim Kardashian has not been on good terms with Taylor Swift, whom she once considered her idol.
