Ye Reveals He Now Only Follows Taylor Swift on Instagram
Is Ye finally looking to move past his troubled history with Taylor Swift? On Sunday (Feb. 2), just hours before the 67th annual Grammy Awards, the rapper and fashion mogul — formerly known as Kanye West — raised eyebrows regarding his relationship with the pop superstar, posting a cryptic message on his Instagram Story to reveal that he was now following only one person on the platform: Swift.
“1 following,” Ye, 47, posted to his 20.6 million followers, sharing a screenshot of his Instagram page. The next post showed Swift, 35, as the lone person he follows. As of Saturday night, Ye had unfollowed everyone — including his wife, Bianca Censori — except for Swift, according to Morningpicker.
Trending on Morningpicker, in addition to Swift, Ye also posted about his recent Grammy nomination for “Carnival,” his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, which is nominated for best rap song at this year’s ceremony. The track, also featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last March.
“Thank you to the Grammies for nominating Carnival,” Ye wrote on IG alongside a photo of a Grammy trophy. The image tagged the likes of Swift, Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, Rich the Kid and the Recording Academy. It’s still unclear whether Ye will attend the ceremony, which is set to air live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Swift and Beyoncé, both of whom are nominated for album of the year, are expected to be there. Bey leads the nominations with 11, while Swift has six, including her nod for The Tortured Poets Department, alongside Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.

A Long and Turbulent History
Ye and Swift’s relationship has been one of the most notorious feuds in the music industry. It all began in 2009 when Ye interrupted Swift’s VMA acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé deserved the best female video award instead.
Though the two eventually reconciled, their tension reignited when Ye claimed in his 2016 track “Famous” that the incident helped launch Swift’s career. When Swift slammed Ye for the song, he claimed that he got the “Karma” singer’s blessing on a phone call before its release, which she denied.
After that, his then-wife Kim Kardashian posted an edited recording of their conversation to portray Swift as a liar. Later, though, leaked audio revealed that Ye had not in fact sought her blessing for all of the lyrics about her in the song, in particular never mentioning to her the line: “I made that b—- famous.”
“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift told Morningpicker in a recent interview. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”

Alice Brock, Inspiration Behind Arlo Guthrie’s Classic Song, Passes Away at 83
Alice Brock, whose Massachusetts-based eatery helped inspire Arlo Guthrie’s deadpan Thanksgiving standard, “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree,” has died at age 83. Explore Explore Arlo Guthrie See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news
Her death, just a week before Thanksgiving, was announced Friday (Nov. 22) by Guthrie on the Facebook page of his own Rising Son Records. Guthrie wrote that she died in Provincetown, Massachusetts, her residence for some 40 years, and referred to her being in failing health.
Other details were not immediately available. “This coming Thanksgiving will be the first without her,” Guthrie wrote. “Alice and I spoke by phone a couple of weeks ago, and she sounded like her old self. We joked around and had a couple of good laughs even though we knew we’d never have another chance to talk together.”
A Life of Activism and Art
Born Alice May Pelkey in New York City, Brock was a lifelong rebel who was a member of Students for a Democratic Society among other organizations. In the early 1960s, she dropped out of Sarah Lawrence College, moved to Greenwich Village and married Ray Brock, a woodworker who encouraged her to leave New York and resettle in Massachusetts.
Guthrie, son of the celebrated folk musician Woody Guthrie, first met Brock around 1962 when he was attending the Stockbridge School in Massachusetts and she was the librarian. They became friends and stayed in touch after he left school, when he would stay with her and her husband at the converted Stockbridge church that became the Brocks’ main residence.
A Legacy of Love and Activism
On Thanksgiving Day, 1965, a simple chore led to Guthrie’s arrest, his eventual avoidance of military service during the Vietnam War and a song that has endured as a protest classic and holiday favorite. Guthrie and his friend, Richard Robbins, were helping the Brocks throw out trash, but ended up tossing it down a hill because they couldn’t find an open dumpster.
Police charged them with illegal dumping, briefly jailed them and fined them $50, a seemingly minor offense with major repercussions. By 1966, Alice Brock was running The Back Room restaurant in Stockbridge, Guthrie was a rising star and his breakout song was an 18-minute talking blues that recounted his arrest and how it made him ineligible for the draft.
The chorus was a tribute to Alice — whose restaurant, Guthrie pointed out, was not actually called Alice’s Restaurant — that countless fans have since memorized: “You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant/ You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant/ Walk right in it’s around the back/ Just a half a mile from the railroad track/ You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant.”
Guthrie assumed his song was too long to catch on commercially, but it soon became a radio perennial and part of the popular culture. Alice’s Restaurant was the title of his million-selling debut album, and the basis of a movie and cookbook of the same name.
Alice Brock would write a memoir, My Life as a Restaurant, and collaborate with Guthrie on a children’s book, Mooses Come Walking. At the time of her death, they had been discussing an exhibit dedicated to her at her former Stockton home, now the Guthrie Center, which serves free dinners every Thanksgiving.
Brock ran three different restaurants at various times, although she would later acknowledge she initially didn’t care much for cooking or for business. She would also cite her professional life as a cause of her marriage breaking up, while disputing rumors that she had been unfaithful to her husband.
Her honor was immortalized by Guthrie, who late in “Alice’s Restaurant” advised: “You can get anything you want” at Alice’s Restaurant, “excepting Alice.”
