How Jay-Z Got Taylor Swift And Kanye To Briefly Become Friends

Since the feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye "Ye" West has gone on for so long, many forget that the two artists were friends for a brief period. Surprisingly, Ye's close friend, Jay-Z got the two to share a few happy memories together. This included the 2015 Grammys, a surprising award show for Swifties. Not because of the awards given out, but because Swift and West seemed to be friends again. Reports from Glamour stated that the two could be seen smiling and posing for photos together. In one photo, Swift can be seen conversing with West and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian; all credit to Jay-Z.

Swift did an interview in 2015 with Vanity Fair revealing how she became friends with the rapper. Swift described how hesitant she was to forgive West because she wanted to wait until "he had some sort of respect" for the singer. Jay-Z fueled this friendship as she shared, "I became friends with Jay-Z, and I think it was important, for Jay-Z, for Kanye and I to get along."

West and Jay-Z's friendship goes back to the 2000s when the Yeezy creator produced tracks for Jay-Z. The two went on to collaborate further and showed continued support for each other. Things started to get complicated for Jay-Z when he became friends with Swift, who had her own history with West. Jay-Z valued his friendship with both artists and because of this, it helped both Swift and West to become friends again.
