Instagram are said to be monitoring Taylor Swift’s account following Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat exposé.

The singer’s comments section has been flooded with digs and the snake emoji after it was revealed that Taylor did indeed give her permission to Kanye West to rap about her in the song Famous.

But apparently if you try and post any snake emojis on her Instagram photos an error message comes up saying there are too many special characters being used.

Well we thought we’d test it out for ourselves.


Here’s me putting the snake emoji into action.

Here’s it being posted (and swiftly deleted – I don’t want the drama)

According to some sources the error message comes up when you add more than 26 special characters to a comment.



Ah, there it is.

Doesn’t explain why there’s no longer any snakes in her comments though.

Either her team are deleting them, or Instagram is.
