Kanye West released his new album Vultures 2—and the rapper name-dropped both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in one of its tracks.
On Saturday, Aug. 3, the rapper dropped his highly-anticipated album after it was delayed twice. A track titled “Lifestyle” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Wayne quickly caught the attention of Swifties on social media.
Partway through the first verse, Lil Wayne rapped: “Codeine and cocaine, that’s Lisa Turtle when it’s Kelly / Ice up in my veins, old flames tryna melt me / I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.”

After Swift fans caught wind of the name-drop, many took to X to react to Kanye mentioning her in yet another song. (The rapper also named her in his Vultures 1 track “Carnival,” which dropped in February.)
One wrote, “The obsession Taylor was truly his dream girl even during 2 marriages.”
Another X user echoed, “kanye west name dropped taylor swift in a song AGAIN??? bro it’s pathetic, he’s so obsessed.”
Someone else declared, “Taylor made him famous,” while another commented, “Can’t wait to find out what Travis Kelce says about all this. He’s gonna kick a–.”
Meanwhile, one X user pointed out, “Taylor can do the funniest thing possible and release Digital Versions of TTPD to block his @$$.”
And that’s exactly what Swift did.
That same day, the pop superstar dropped yet another digital version of The Tortured Poets Department—this time featuring a first draft voice memo for her song “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.”
As of writing, neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly responded to Kanye’s new track.
