After Taylor Swift was rumoured to have asked for Kanye West to be kicked out of his box for the Super Bowl, we look at the pop tycoon's famous feuds.

The feud between Taylor, 34, and Kanye, 46, has lasted more than a decade after he got on stage and ruined her acceptance speech for her first VMA win.

The pair had been friends for years but it all fell apart in 2014. Katy was accused of sabotaging Taylor's tour by hiring her backing dancers.
