Yeezy Vs. Tay Tay: The ULTIMATE Face-Off Between Kanye West & Taylor Swift
Kanye and Taylor may have sorted out their differences since THAT Grammys incident of '09 - and are even releasing a song together - but how do these two megastars REALLY compare to each other?
-
1. Long list of ex-lovers… their famous partners!
Taylor definitely wins this one with the most amount of famous exes - this lucky lady can count Harry Styles, John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas amongst her conquests. Kanye has relatively few famous boos, with his ex Amber Rose and his wife Kim Kardashian as the only two celebs he has publicly dated. Picture: Getty/PA

2. Sharing the stage with other stars
Taylor Swift has had her fair share of high profile guest performers and performances - she's shared the stage with Ed Sheeran and an ACTUAL Rolling Stone - but 'Ye pips her to the post on this one. Being part of the hip-hop elite, Kanye often rubs shoulders with the likes of Jay Z, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and even actual Beatle, Paul McCartney. Picture: Getty/PA

3. Going above and beyond for the fans
Tay Tay's been campaigning for queen of the freaking universe over the past few months, sending her fans personalised presents, inviting them to hear her new album first at her house and stalking them on Tumblr and Twitter. Kanye looks to have taken a leaf out of T-Swizz's book and recently hand-delivered his new Adidas trainers to some lucky fans and let one perform an impromptu audition for him. But he's still got a way to go to beat Taylor on this count! Picture: Getty

4. Other ventures outside of music
Kanye West wins this category for us, with his new Yeezy for Adidas line as well as teaming up with Dame Dash for their own movie company. Taylor's got her own perfume but doesn't lend her name to many products, although she HAS copyrighted her own phrases such as 'Nice to meet you, where you been?'... taken her music off Spotify too.

5. Awkward fails
Taylor's carefree awkward audience dancing is the stuff of legends - SO many arm movements - but Kanye HAS to take this one purely for the time he walked head first into a sign post in front of a herd of waiting paparazzi. Ouchies. Picture: Splash/YouTube

6. Baking skills
Ermmmmm…. yeah, we couldn't actually find any evidence that Kanye's ever set foot in the kitchen. We're pretty sure he has 'people' to bake his cookies for him. Taylor, on the other hand, can often be found whipping up a few culinary delights - often with her famous gal pals in tow. For the promise of baked goods, we are giving this one firmly to Taylor.

7. Volume of bling
As if anyone else could win this? Kanye LOVES a gold chain or ten, and he even replaced his bottom teeth with gold and ACTUAL DIAMONDS. Taylor is a fan of understated jewellery, but really, who DOESN'T want a diamond smile?! Picture: Getty/PA
-
8. Hitting back with their song lyrics
This is a close one, as Yeezy does tend to take a good old pop at the haters in his songs, but for the sheer amount of break-up ballads Tay has put out, slamming her exes behaviour through the medium of song, she's the clear winner for hitting back with her lyrics. Picture: Getty/PA
-
9. Total number of Grammy awards
Taylor's racked up an impressive 7 Grammy awards over the years, but there's no competing with Kanye's HUMONGOUS 21 gongs! He's got so many he's had to invest in those nifty white gloves to handle them (probably). Picture: Getty/PA
-
10. Showing emotion
He may be smiling a bit more since North West came into his life, but Kanye's still the king of the resting b***h face at all other times. Seriously, Kanye smiles are rarer than unicorns. Picture: Getty/PA
-
-
11. Showbiz BFFs
Taylor may have her bestie Ed Sheeran and a whole host of Victoria's Secret models among her wolf pack, but if you can count Beyonce and Jay Z as your best buds, as well as the rest of hip hop royalty, Kanye is the winner in this hard-fought category. Picture: Getty/PA
-
12. Fashion face-off
Taylor never looks anything but flawless and her style is envied by millions - no-one pulls off red carpet chichi quite like Ms Swift - but Kanye's UBER passionate about fashion. As well as sitting FROW at his favourite labels' shows, Kanye has designed his own collections, dresses his daughter head to toe in haute couture and even made his wife, Kim Kardashian, have a COMPLETE wardrobe overhaul when they got together. Sorry, Taylor, but this one HAS to go to 'Ye! Picture: Picture: Getty/PA
