Can Taylor Swift Survive Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat Burial?

The Snapchat that broke the internet—and suggested that Taylor Swift is a liar—comes after months of public fatigue over the pop star. Can she overcome the bad press?

Here lies Taylor Swift, 1989-2016, Murdered Via Snapchat By Kimberly Kardashian

So reads the meme tombstone memorializing the music industry’s Empress With No Clothes, stripped naked of her self-victimizing media manipulations by reality TV’s Mad Queen.

It began as they said-she said and remains that, even as the somewhat gleeful social media reaction to Kardashian’s damning Sunday night Snapchats poisoned Swift’s already weak celebrity immune system, sending her to an early grave amidst an increasingly fatal case of public weariness over the star.

There’s fatigue over Swift’s insistence of turning fun and friendship into performance art, culminating with her star-spangled squad’s obnoxious flaunting of Fourth of July frivolity.

There’s reflexive scoffing at her picture-perfect—as in probably/most definitely posed for—relationship with Tom Hiddleston. And not to mention eye-rolling as the “Maneater Swift” media narrative makes its way around the carousel again, with Swift and Hiddleston hamming for the paparazzi just a blink and a kiss-off after her breakup with Calvin Harris.

Then there’s the Nils Sjoberg saga, which is just about as interesting as the words “Nils Sjoberg saga” sound.

And now, as has been breathlessly reported overnight after some masterful foreplay on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian cast Taylor Swift to the wolves, via Snapchat. This sentence was brought to you by the year 2016.
