Taylor Swift's new album 'Midnights' comes out on Kim Kardashian's birthday

Swift and Kardashian have been publicly feuding for years

By Will Mendelson | Fox News

Taylor Swift surprised fans on Sunday evening when she announced that she will be releasing a new album, "Midnights," in October.

周日晚上，泰勒·斯威夫特宣布将于10月发行新专辑《午夜》，这让粉丝们大吃一惊。

But it wasn't long before fans realized that the release date, Oct. 21, is also Kim Kardashian's 42nd birthday.

但没过多久，粉丝们就意识到10月21日也是金·卡戴珊的42岁生日。

The two stars have been involved in a very public feud dating back to 2016, when the reality star took to her Snapchat and leaked a private phone call in which Taylor gave Kardashian's then husband, Kanye West, permission to use the lyric "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex" in his song.

这两位明星早在2016年就陷入了一场非常公开的恩怨，当时这位真人秀明星在她的Snapchat上泄露了一段私人电话，在这段电话中，泰勒允许卡戴珊当时的丈夫坎耶·维斯特(Kanye West)在他的歌曲中使用“我觉得我和泰勒可能还会发生负距离关系”的歌词。

Feud /fjuːd/ 名词： ~ (between A and B)~ (with sb)~ (over sb/sth)长期不和；争吵不休；世仇；夙怨 •a long-running feud between the two artists 两个艺术家之间的夙怨。动词：~ (with sb)长期争斗；争吵不休；世代结仇

Swift subsequently defended herself, boldly stating that what Kardashian and West did was "character assassination" and that she had been "falsely painted as a liar" because the clip suggested she had approved the explicit lyrics.

斯威夫特随后为自己辩护，她大胆地表示，卡戴珊和韦斯特的行为是“人身攻击”，她被“错误地描绘成一个骗子”，因为视频显示她批准了这些直白的歌词。

Boldly：大胆的，冒失的

Assassination /əˌsæsɪˈneɪʃ(ə)n/ 暗杀，行刺

"Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b----’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened," Swift responded. "I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did."

“坎耶告诉我他要在他的歌里叫我‘that b----’的视频在哪里?它不存在，因为它从未发生过。”斯威夫特回应道。“当坎耶告诉我我会喜欢这首歌的时候，我想相信他。我希望我们能保持友好关系。他答应给我弹这首歌，但他没有。”

Fans were also quick to note that not only does Taylor's new, highly anticipated album come out on Kardashian's birthday, but Swift also announced it exactly 13 years after the now infamous incident at the 2009 VMAs. It was there that West interrupted Swift onstage during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

粉丝们也很快注意到，霉霉不仅在卡戴珊的生日当天发布了备受期待的新专辑，而且霉霉也是在2009年MTV音乐录影带大奖臭名昭著事件发生13年后宣布了这一消息。就在那时，霉霉在台上发表“最佳女性录影带奖”的获奖感言时，坎耶打断了她。

VMA：MTV音乐录影带大奖（VMA），音乐录影带大奖（VMA）是全美最受欢迎的音乐盛典之一。

Thirteen is the music mogul's favorite number. "Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21. Meet me at midnight," Swift wrote on Twitter alongside the album artwork for the 13-track disc.

13是这位音乐大亨最喜欢的数字。“《午夜》是散落在我生命中13个不眠之夜的故事，将于10月21日上线。午夜来见我。”霉霉在推特上写道，旁边是这张13首歌的唱片封面。

One fan summed it up on Twitter, writing, "So just to recap: @taylorswift13, born on the 13th, 13 years after the Kanye incident at the @vmas, accepts the VMA for her 10 minute version of a song and announces her 10th studio album, coming in the 10th month of the year. It will have - naturally - 13 tracks."

一位粉丝在推特上总结道：“总结一下：@taylorswift13，出生于13日，在@vmas坎耶事件的13年后，接受了VMA的10分钟版本的一首歌，并在今年的第10个月发布她的第10张录音室专辑。它自然会有13首歌。”

Swift made her surprise announcement at Sunday's VMAs, where she also won the Video of the Year award, the evening's most lauded. She told the crowd, "I'm so heartened by the fact that for the first time in VMA history, four of the directors nominated in the Video of the Year category are women. I'm so proud of what we made."

霉霉在周日的mtv音乐录影带大奖上出人意料地宣布了这一消息，她还获得了年度最佳录影带奖，这是当晚最受好评的奖项。她对观众们说:“我很高兴，在mtv音乐录影带大奖历史上，这是第一次有四位获得年度最佳录影带提名的导演是女性。我为我们所创造的一切感到骄傲。”
