Taylor Swift laughs hysterically while performing a Kanye West diss track on her Seattle Eras tour.

Did Taylor Swift Get the Last Laugh? At the Seattle stop of her Eras tour this weekend, Swift emitted what Page Six called "an epic laugh" - not just a laugh, but an epic laugh (and the magazine was right) - while the magazine called her diss track to Kanye West, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things'" for the first time in five years.

Swift had not performed the song on stage since 2018, but brought it up Saturday night and "raised an epic cackle during the song" when she performed an acoustic version of the song, which appears on her album Reputation.

After singing "And here's to you, 'cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do," she burst out laughing - "she always does that while performing this song," Page Six wrote.

Eventually she regained her composure, but quipped, "I can't even say it with a straight face."

The song was released after the infamous feud between West and then-wife Kim Kardashian at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where West sabotaged her acceptance speech for Best Video by a Female Artist, claiming Beyoncé should have won. One fan wrote that he wished Swift had "saved this song for her Los Angeles performance" in case Kardashian attended with her daughter North West. (Swift is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles from August 3 to August 9 in support of her tour.)

Swift said she dealt with the fallout from her feud with West and Kardashian by writing new songs, including this one. (Fans believe the song "Look What You Made Me Do" is also about the two.) "It's a very isolating experience to be told by millions of people that you've been 'canceled' and to be publicly shamed," Swift told Vogue in 2019. " When someone says they've been canceled, it's not a TV show. It's a human being. You're sending a massive message to that person that could be taken as 'shut up,' 'go away,' or even 'kill yourself. I knew right away that I needed to make music about it. It was the only way to communicate what it was like to go through something so humiliating while keeping yourself mentally healthy."

After the U.S. leg of her Eras tour concludes on August 9, Swift will play shows in Mexico and Brazil by the end of 2023 and in Japan, Australia, Singapore, Poland, and Austria in 2024.
