During her acceptance speech, she appeared to throw some shade at Kanye West.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A long history<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These two artists go way back. Things all started at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Swift was still a relatively fresh new artist and had just won her first VMA. Her video for \u201cYou Belong With Me\u201d won the Best Female Video award, beating out Beyonc\u00e9&#8217;s &#8220;Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).\u201d Swift\u2019s excitement was quickly ruined when West jumped onto the stage and uttered the now famous words:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<strong>Yo, Taylor, I&#8217;m really happy for you and I&#8217;mma let you finish, but Beyonc\u00e9 had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!&#8221; \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When he heard the audience booing him, he shrugged and handed the mike back to Swift. His performance was then cancelled and anytime his name was mentioned at the show, it was met with boos. Beyonc\u00e9 later won the award for Video of the Year and let Swift give her acceptance speech properly. Celebrities rallied behind Swift; even President Obama chimed in and called West a jack*ss. West apologized several times. At the following VMAs, Swift performed the song \u201cInnocent\u201d in response. The lyrics include: <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201c32, and still growin&#8217; up now. \u00a0Who you are is not what you did. \u00a0You&#8217;re still an innocent.\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">West backtracked on his apology a couple of times and insinuated that his actions helped Swift\u2019s career. But nothing major happened for another six years. \u00a0Until, out of the blue, West released his song \u201cFamous.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14157\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14157\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/mbdtf5anos_03.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/mbdtf5anos_03.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/mbdtf5anos_03-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/mbdtf5anos_03-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shifter.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/mbdtf5anos_03.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>He threw the first punch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lyrics brought up Swift:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong> &#8220;I feel like me and Taylor might still have s-x. \u00a0Why?

Swift\u2019s close friends and other celebrities defended her and criticized the rapper for the misogynistic line. Actress and musician <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RubyRose?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">Ruby Rose tweeted<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<strong>Too many lines crossed.

She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, &#8216;I made that b*tch famous.&#8217;\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">West is still maintaining that Swift was on board. \u00a0He even said that the lyric was her idea; he claimed that she told a mutual friend she could not be mad at him because he made her famous.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14158\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/kanye-west-and-taylor-swift-e1455291704894.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/kanye-west-and-taylor-swift-e1455291704894.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/kanye-west-and-taylor-swift-e1455291704894-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/kanye-west-and-taylor-swift-e1455291704894-85x57.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/us.cdn01.mundotkm.com\/2016\/02\/Kanye-West-and-Taylor-Swift-e1455291704894.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>She finally responded<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The media was anxiously waiting for Swift to publicly respond.
