Giant ‘RIP Taylor Swift’ mural appears in Melbourne laneway

A giant mural has sprung up in Melbourne’s Hosier Lane in response to the current social media feud between Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

Taylor, who is currently (alive and well) in Australia with her boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, is yet to respond to the artwork by Melbourne graffiti artist Lushsux.

Erm, we’re pretty sure she’s not going to like it.

After all, Taylor, 26, was already pissed enough that Kanye, 39, taped a phone call in which the two discussed the rapper’s Famous lyrics.

TMZ reported on Monday that the pop-country star threatened the rapper with criminal prosecution months ago for allegedly secretly recording their conversation. That’s illegal in the state of California, where he was reportedly located for his end of the telephone discussion.

Then his wife, Kim, 35, had to go and post a Snapchat of Kanye on the phone with the Shake It Off singer where he was filmed reciting his lyrics to her.

The rapper reads her: "To all the Southside n*****s, I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex” before adding, “I think this is a really cool thing to happen.”

Taylor responded: "Yeah I mean, go with whatever line you think works better, it's obviously very tongue-in-cheek either way... And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice."

Kanye adds: "All I give a f*** about is you as a person and as a friend. I want things that make you feel good."

Kim also took to Twitter to direct people to her Snapchat!

In a tell-all interview last week with GQ, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star revealed that Taylor gave Yeezy the all-clear to release the track: "I swear, my husband gets so much s*** for things when he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.

But she has since denied she was ever okay with the controversial song’s use of the word “bitch”.

Her rep said: “Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognises the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West."

Kim reportedly decided to act because she didn't want people thinking Kanye is a "liar" after Taylor previously insisted she had never given her approval to the song.

The track includes the lines "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b**** famous," in reference to Kanye interrupting her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in 2009.
