She voiced her displeasure about the song at the 2016 Grammys, and in an acceptance speech talked about how he tried to take credit for her musical accomplishments. Swift is also talking about “playing” West and telling him a “lie.” This is most likely alluding to the fallout over his song “Famous” in which he raps about making Swift - though West calls her “that bitch” - a household name. West has been described in the press as a narcissist multiple times - and when it comes to Swift’s rivals or exes, none have been characterized as a “narcissist” as frequently as West has. What t hey mean: This is one of the most blatant references to Kanye West on Reputation. This is how the world works - now all he thinks about is me.” ’Cause for every lie I tell them, they tell me three. So I play 'em like a violin, and I make it look oh so easy. The lyrics : “I never trust a narcissist, but they love me. Here’s a breakdown of some of the song’s delicious Swift saltiness: Kanye West is referenced in the first verse The number of vendettas on display is impressive, even for a master revenge songstress like Swift. In four minutes, Swift laces in references to longtime nemeses Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, while also dissing exes Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston. “I Did Something Bad” is as petty as it is catchy. It’s the best pop song on the album - which is why it’s so surprising that Swift has managed to weave so much juicy personal gossip into it.
The song itself sounds like a mean-girl imperial march wrapped around a churning beat, with thunderous stomps and synths that zip and zag, threatening to rip the song at the seams. “I Did Something Bad,” the third song on Swift’s new album Reputation, is a standout of both. And then there’s the deep listen, the one where every lyric stands poised to unlock some secret reference to her personal life. There’s the cursory listen, the one that reveals which songs sound completely different from Swift’s past work, which songs have that signature Swift earworm quality, and which songs aren’t quite up to snuff. Listening to a Taylor Swift album happens on two levels.
