It was the line heard 'round the world at the 2009 VMAs. "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." Alright, Kanye, we get it, you're a Beyoncé fan.
After Taylor won best female video for "You Belong With Me," Kanye stormed the stage, grabbed the mic from her, and let everyone know that he felt Beyoncé should have won. The whole ordeal was incredibly awkward and is still an ongoing joke. Taylor went on to host Saturday Night Live later that year and even jokingly referenced the situation in her opening monologue song.
Taylor and Kanye have been back and forth and up and down since that historic VMAs, with Kanye apologising and Taylor writing "Innocent" about his actions. But then Kanye came back with "Runaways," which is thought to be yet another apology. In 2015, Taylor and Kanye seemed to put it all behind them when she presented him with the Video Vanguard Award.
But LOL, you thought that was the end, didn't you? The feud was back in full force when Kanye dropped "Famous," with a line about Taylor in it that she claims she was absolutely not OK with. She low-key shaded Kanye at the 2016 Grammys because of the lyrics, and Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian, just wasn't having it. She released damning audio evidence of Taylor knowing about Kanye's song from the start, leaving this feud very much still alive, despite the fact that Taylor would like to be "excluded from this narrative." Oy.
