‘The 1’: Something’s been forgotten in the Kanye-Taylor feud

Before I weigh in on exactly what happened on the evening of 13 September 2009 between Taylor Swift and Kanye West (and Beyoncé, but I’ll get to that), I want to be honest with you.

Based on the numbers alone, I am a much bigger Kanye fan. I’m old enough to tell you that, when it came out in 2004, I bought College Dropout on CD and played the crap out of it in my extremely crappy 1989 Toyota Corolla on the way to my even crappier, first post-university job.
