Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Taylor Swift’s names can almost never coexist without causing any drama. Their infamous history has given the media plenty of grist for the mill. However, over time, the two music moguls have chosen the high road by trying their best to steer clear of each other. But their fandoms may have not moved on from 2009 yet. And there is a chance the world could be in for another dramatic clash between Taylor Swift and Ye, or their respective fandoms.

Both artists are expected to drop some fresh tracks soon. While Taylor Swift fans are waiting for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’, Ye fans have given up hope of ever getting to listen to the much-delayed ‘Vultures 2’. But what if both releases land at the same time? The possibility of this happening is not entirely out of the question. Recently, Ye announced on his Yeezy website that ‘Vultures 2’ would drop on 2nd August, although he soon removed the date confirmation.

Then came a word from influencer Saint Léon, who further confirmed a likely August release for the ‘Vultures’ sequel. Meanwhile, there have also been enough signs for fans to expect a near drop of ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’, including a recent trademark extension update. Nonetheless, this clash would only mean chaos, and fans know it.

Swifties, in particular, believe that Taylor Swift would easily knock Ye’s ‘Vultures 2’ off the Billboard charts if she dropped ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’ around the same time.

Fans sense a showdown between Ye and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift releasing an album, and not ranking at the top of the charts, is something that almost never happens. She recently broke multiple records with her 2024 release, 'The Tortured Poets Department'. And with the addition of the variants, she made sure to stay at the top of the charts long enough for fans to accuse her of blocking fellow artists, including Billie Eilish. And now Swifties feel Ye is in for the same treatment.

Some are even manifesting Taylor Swift to badly defeat Ye on the Billboard charts.

It is important to note, however, that there is no certainty as to when the two anticipated albums will drop. While there have been no updates for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version)’, Ye’s ‘Vultures’ updates have let fans down so many times that they do not know anymore whether to keep their hopes up for the release. And given Ye’s track record, it is not impossible that this third-time announcement is just another ploy to reignite the buzz around the album.
