Taylor Swift solidified her status as the queen of shaking it off when she referenced her longstanding beef with Kanye West during a “The Eras” tour stop in Mexico City. In a clip that has since gone viral on social media, the “Lover” singer expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she’s gotten from her fans, especially when the cheers drowned out part of her speech. “It’s the best way to be interrupted, by the way, just people chanting your name,” she quipped, before adding the apparent Kanye dig: “It’s really the only way to be interrupted, and I would know.” Ha, good one, Tay! Better be interrupted by thousands of adoring fans than an unhinged rapper who just wanted to clout chase, you know?

But wait — this isn’t the first time that Swift subtly shaded West after a years-long bout of silence. A month prior, she did a surprise performance of “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” during her show in Seattle, a song fans have long suspected to be written about West and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. “And here’s to you, ’cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do,” she sang before exploding into laughter. “I can’t even say it with a straight face!” While both the laugh and the jab combo were originally part of the song, many couldn’t help but interpret it as a covert message, especially since it was the first time she performed it since 2018. We can’t verify it, of course, but her loaded laugh speaks volumes, perhaps suggesting that she really has moved on from the petty drama — as she should!
