Taylor Swift explained how the “hate frenzy” surrounding her during the Reputation era helped inspire the album’s sharper lyrics, including “Look What You Made Me Do.” The 36-year-old discussed the 2017 album during the Grammy Museum’s The Icon Sessions with Taylor Swift: A 20-Year Retrospective, which was posted to YouTube Aug. 24, saying the public scrutiny gave her songwriting a “gnarled bite.” Swift pointed to the long-running backlash that followed her 2016 feud with Kanye West and his then-wife Kim Kardashian over West’s song “Famous.” The track included a lyric claiming he made Swift famous—language the singer said she had not approved—while Kardashian later released edited clips of a phone call between West and Swift that appeared to show otherwise. A longer version of the call later surfaced, revealing West had not told Swift about the song’s most controversial lyric. Swift said she responded to feeling “cornered” by embracing a darker, tongue-in-cheek persona in “Look What You Made Me Do,” before ultimately finding “a tiny bit of warmth” in the album’s more vulnerable songs.
