A giant mural created to commemorate the ‘death’ of Taylor Swift’s career has undergone another facelift.

The mock memorial was painted after Swift became embroiled in a public spat with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over his new single, Famous.

It was created by graffiti artist Lushsux and featured Swift’s face next to the epitaph: “In loving memory of Taylor Smith 1989-2016.”

But Swift’s face has since been replaced by a smiling Kanye West with blonde hair alongside a message that reads: “In Loving Memory of Harampye The Savage 2016. Murdered Taylor Smith on Snapchat.”

Lushsux appeared to be angered by the new look and posted a picture to Instagram with the caption: “WHO DID THIS PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH MY WORK.”

It comes a day after someone painted over Swift’s face with a Spongebob character and changed the epitaph to: “In loving memory of Harambe 1988-2016.”

Harambe the gorilla was shot at Cincinnati Zoo after a child climbed into the enclosure.

Swift was heavily criticised after Kim Kardashian appeared to prove that the Blank Space singer gave permission for West to use a controversial lyric in Famous.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashian star posted a Snapchat video of a phone conversation West and Swift had about the Life of Pablo track which features the line, "I made that b**** famous".

Swift's Wikipedia page was hacked following the fallout, and her name was changed to: “Taylor 'People Will Side With Me If I Sue Kayne, Won't They' Alison Swift.”

Swift's boyfriend Tom Hiddleston is said to be supporting the singer through the drama.

A source told E!: "Tom is not annoyed by the negative media attached to Taylor. He knew that would come with the course of dating her. He has been supporting her and enjoying the time he's having with her. They're having a great time and are always laughing."
