Taylor Swift is set to a take
one step further as the ‘Bad blood’ singer has met her legal
representatives and is considering taking legal action against Kanye
West and his wife Kim after Kim released a bombshell phone
recording that proved the rapper had asked the Shake It Off singer
permission to release the controversial song Famous.
In the track, Kanye raps: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b**** famous.”
During
the cordial phonecall Taylor, 26, appears to be supportive of the
track, describing Kanye as a “friend” and saying the song is “like a
compliment” and “obviously very tongue in cheek”.

But
according to an exclusive report by the Sun UK, Taylor has consulted
her legal representatives and plans to take legal action against Kanye
and Kim K that could land them with 3 years imprisonment if they are
charged, because in California where Kanye made the call from, it is
illegal to record a phone conversation without the other person’s
knowledge and permission and make it public.

“Of course I wanted to like

song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play
the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of
Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard.
