Swift recalled the famous debacle with Kim resulting in the online trend “TaylorSwiftIsCancelled” ordeal.

“A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote canceled, is a very isolating experience,’ explained. ‘I don’t think there are that many people who can actually understand what it’s like to have millions of people hate you very loudly,” Swift said during the discussion.

She continued “When you say someone is canceled, it’s not a TV show, It’s a human being. You’re sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, ‘Kill yourself.”

Swift revealed the reason behind why she chose to step back from public eye whilst the media bashing continued. She admitted she was more than happy and focused to channel her feelings into music.

“I knew it was the only way I could survive it. It was the only way I could preserve my mental health,” she revealed.
