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 TMZ.

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.

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 TIME in her Person of the Year cover story in December 2023. “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.”
