Kanye West unfollows everyone but Taylor Swift on social media ahead of Grammys

The rapper has made a major change to his Instagram account

Seemingly in preparation for tonight's Grammy Awards, controversial rapper Kanye West has unfollowed everyone on social media - except 'frenemy' Taylor Swift.

That's right - after years of agro between the chart-topping pair, Kanye has altered his social media logistics so that he's only following the 'Anti-Hero singer.

For those unfamiliar with the tensions between the hit-makers, their very public dispute kicked off almost 15 years ago, when Taylor - who was then an up and coming country artist, aged just 19 - was honoured with an MTV Video Music Award for the Best Female Video. Remind yourself of the moment below:

Kanye presented the accolade, only to rudely interrupt the country star, who told viewers at home at Beyoncé should have walked away with the prize.

A very clearly flustered Taylor was subsequently left both red-faced and embarrassed, and has since endured a public feud with the 'Stronger' rapper who has ceaselessly slammed her in his lyrics.

In one of his music videos, he included a naked lookalike model of her, and recorded and released their phonecalls, causing Taylor to fear 'a career death'.

Speaking about their clash, Taylor, 34, told press last year: "Make no mistake, my career was taken away from me."

By the sounds of things, however, Kanye might not be ready to let go of whatever it is he has against the star, and fans of Taylor are fearing what his new social media cull might mean - especially ahead of this year's music festivities.

Taylor will go head-to-head with Beyoncé once again tonight - as well as the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Cardi B and Chappell Roan in several of the 'big four' categories.

These include the Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.

It’s expected that Queen Bey will walk away with an award or two this year, with country-esque album Cowboy Carter having been shortlisted for a staggering 11.

Taylor, meanwhile, has the most Album of the Year wins at the Grammy Awards under her belt already.

As always, this year’s ceremony will take place live from the Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles, and see several other huge names battle it out for an accolade and a spot on the Grammys hall of fame.

Representing the Brits across the pond in this year’s leading categories are Charli XCX, Raye and The Beatles.

Sabrina Carpenter has already won the first Grammy of 2025 in the Best Pop Solo Performance category for her feel-good hit, ‘Espresso’.

And following a very Brat summer indeed, Charli XCX has bagged the likes of the Best Dance/Pop Album, and Best Dance/Pop Song for her lead single Von Dutch – both marking her first ever Grammys as a solo artist.

Doing it for the boys, Kendrick Lamar has also been awaited three consecutive prizes already – Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video.

The festivities will also see several huge-name stars performing live – including Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Cynthia Erivo, Shaboozey, Shakira and Teddy Swims.
