The Truth About Tree Paine, Taylor Swift's Publicist

We can all thank (or blame) Twitter user @redligion for resurrecting the "Famous" feud. On March 20, 2020, that account reportedly tweeted a previously unpublicized 25-minute segment of the infamous phone call between Taylor Swift and Kanye West. The lengthy clip seems to be swinging public opinion in Swift's favor, to the point that Kim Kardashian has gone on the defensive.

"To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that 'Kanye never called to ask for permission...' They clearly spoke so I let you all see that," Kardashian tweeted. "Nobody ever denied the word 'b***h' was used without her permission."

That's when Tree Paine jumped into the fray, tweeting: "I'm Taylor's publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement. Btw, when you take parts out, that's editing." She also tacked on a red-hot burn: "P.S. who did you guys piss off to leak that video?" Paine even ended the note with laughing emojis. (Oh no she didn't?) Oh yes, she did.

Fans will recognize Paine from Miss Americana, the 2020 Netflix documentary about Swift. Paine was front and center in a pivotal scene from 2018, when Swift decides to go public with her political views, and she's been with Swift during several intense moments in the singer's career.
