FKA TWIGS DRAGGED BY TAYLOR SWIFT FANS …Over ‘Famous’ Reenactment

Taylor Swift‘s loyal army of fans are coming after FKA Twigs over a perceived shot — and it all has to do with an apparent reenactment of Kanye West‘s ‘Famous’ music video.

The indie artist posted a massive photo and video dump on Instagram the other day, recapping what she’s been working on as an end-of-year tease of what’s to come. It’s a lot of random clips of her goofing around, as well as some snippets of her singing/recording, but one video in the mix got a double take from Swifties … perhaps for good reason.

It features Twigs, multi-instrumentalist Eartheater and some other pals of theirs laying in a bed, with everyone looking like they’re asleep. The camera angle is taken from above, and pans across everybody from left to right … and at the end, they break character/laugh it up.

FKA didn’t explicitly address the bed clip — simply writing, “this year i have been making my album in cabs in berlin, huts in big sur, caves in ibiza, roads in hackney, i have written lyrics by lakes in prague and in the toilets of raves with a biro on the back of my hand.”

Unfortunately for Twigs, Swifites took offense to it … as they seem to feel this is a dig that’s mocking Ye’s visual treatment — which featured a fake nude Taylor right next to fake Ye/Kim.

Taylor herself never addressed it, but people in her camp have expressed outrage over Kanye putting her likeness in there … and many have gone to call it a crude publicity stunt teetering on revenge porn. It was just the latest development in their longstanding feud.

Now that Twigs has seemingly referenced that old wound with a recreation, of sorts — intentionally or not — the Swifites are out in force in her comment section … and elsewhere online, and they’re tearing Twigs are new one with a lot of angry comments/insults.

You can hop into the FKA Twigs trend and see the discourse for yourself — on the one hand, you have Taylor’s base going to bat for their idol, but on the other … you got FKA’s army defending her as well, and labeling the Swifties a toxic and misguided bunch.

FWIW, Taylor has not spoken out on this yet … frankly, she probably isn’t even aware of it. There’s been no bad blood between these two ladies either — in fact, Twigs has spoken fondly of Taylor in the past … but they’re not necessarily good friends or anything like that.

With all that said, we do know this whole ‘Famous’ saga is still fresh on Taylor’s mind — on account of her addressing it in her TIME profile recently — but hopefully … people can just let sleeping dogs lie here, ’cause it sounds pretty GD petty. It’s the holidays, people — relax!
