In what is fast becoming our favorite part of the whole Kanye-does-Glasto trend (outside of pitching a roof on the Pyramid Stage and ditching the whole thing for a cherry picker) are Kanye’s BBC subtitles.
For anyone watching at home rather than in Somerset, adding the subtitles gave the whole performance a boost of unintentional comedy (although not great for anyone relying on them).
