Renowned rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West also known as Ye has sparked conversation online after revealing that he is now following only Taylor Swift on Instagram (IG).
The unexpected move was disclosed on Sunday, February 2, 2025, when Kanye took to his Instagram Story to inform his 20.5 million followers.
Kanye’s decision to follow Taylor Swift comes as a surprise, considering their long and complicated history.
Over the years, the two have had public feuds, reconciliations, and renewed tensions, making this latest development an intriguing one for fans.
This move comes just weeks after Kanye made headlines for reclaiming his billionaire status, revealing an astonishing $2.77 billion net worth.
Now, by following only Taylor Swift, fans are speculating about his intentions—is this a sign of admiration, reconciliation, or simply another Kanye-style statement?
Kanye West and Taylor Swift Relationship in 2025
The relationship betwewn Kanye West and Taylor Swift dates back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where Kanye interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech, declaring that Beyoncé had the “greatest video of all time.”
Since then, their relationship has been a rollercoaster of public apologies, collaborations, and renewed feuds most notably in 2016, when a leaked phone call reignited tensions over Kanye’s lyrics about Taylor in his song Famous.
Social media has been flooded with reactions from both Kanye and Taylor Swift fans.
Some believe that Kanye’s latest move is a sign of respect or an attempt at reconciliation, while others think it might be another troll move from the unpredictable rapper.
Below are some fan comments and reactions
“Wait, Why is Kanye following only Taylor? What is happening?!”
“This has to be some sort of marketing strategy, right?”
”I wonder how Taylor feels about this. This is so random.”
“Kanye is always keeping us on our toes.”
Ye’s Instagram account, which has over 20.5 million followers, currently has one follower, so Taylor Swift and why he unfollowed everyone, including his estranged wife Kim Kardashian, with whom he did the same in 2021 during their court conflict, remain unclear.
With Kanye West, nothing is ever predictable. Whether this is a genuine move, a strategic statement, or just another social media stunt, fans will be watching closely to see if Taylor Swift acknowledges the gesture or if Kanye has more surprises up his sleeve.
For now, one thing is certain: Kanye West knows how to keep the internet talking.
