[Taylor Swift](http://time.com/3578249/taylor-swift-interview/?iid=sr-link1), perhaps not so much. At Drake’s “Summer Sixteen” tour stop in Chicago on Wednesday, West took the stage and gave the crowd what they wanted—a discussion about his ongoing salvo with Swift over the lyrics to his song “[Famous](http://time.com/4218582/kanye-west-taylor-swift-famous/?iid=sr-link7).” While Swift’s representatives said she didn’t know about the lyrics, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, [released a Snapchat video](http://time.com/4410084/kanye-kim-kardashian-taylor-famous-call/?iid=sr-link10) showing that West called Swift to get her approval for at least[ one of the lyrics](http://time.com/4410467/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-recording/). (Read the transcript of the [phone call here](http://time.com/4410370/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west/?iid=sr-link9).) On stage with Drake, West decided to make the most of the platform and discuss the ongoing Clash of the Social Media Titans, telling the crowd: “All I gotta say is, I am so glad my wife has Snapchat, because now y’all can know the truth and can’t nobody talk sh\*\* about Ye no more.” Watch below. > [](https://twitter.com/austin%5Fagostino/status/758526293461786625) \[H/T [Complex](http://www.complex.com/music/2016/07/drake-kanye-west-chicago-summer-sixteen-tour)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4428146/kanye-west-taylor-swift-drake/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4428146/kanye-west-taylor-swift-drake/"},"headline":"Watch Kanye West Address the Taylor Swift Phone Call at a Drake Concert","datePublished":"2016-07-28T13:09:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:51.720Z","description":"\"I am so glad my wife has Snapchat\"","url":"https://time.com/4428146/kanye-west-taylor-swift-drake/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Kanye West","Taylor Swift","Drake","Kim Kardashian"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt88af69c1ec7b332e/69889edcf887dcd4bae96c0c/gettyimages-463035814-e1469202553197.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt88af69c1ec7b332e/69889edcf887dcd4bae96c0c/gettyimages-463035814-e1469202553197.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Backstage & Audience","caption":"The 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Backstage & Audience","creditText":"Larry Busacca-Getty Images for NARAS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4428146/kanye-west-taylor-swift-drake/","name":"Watch Kanye West Address the Taylor Swift Phone Call at a Drake Concert"}}]}] ```
