Taylor Swift Disses Kim Kardashian & Kanye West – MTV VMAS 2017
Introduction
The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards was filled with drama and surprises, but one of the most talked-about moments was when Taylor Swift took a swipe at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West during her acceptance speech for Best Collaboration.
The Background
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has been ongoing for years. It all started in 2009 when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs, claiming that Beyoncé should have won the award. The feud escalated in 2016 when Kim Kardashian released a video of a phone conversation between Taylor Swift and Kanye West, where West asked for Swift’s approval to use a controversial lyric in his song “Famous,” which Swift later claimed she was not aware of.
The Diss
During her acceptance speech for Best Collaboration for her song “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” with Zayn Malik, Taylor Swift took a shot at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. She thanked Zayn Malik for being her partner on the song and also gave a shoutout to the fans who supported her, but then she added, “I just want to say to all the young women out there: there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world.”
The Reaction
The audience cheered and applauded after Taylor Swift’s speech, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did not seem to be impressed. Kardashian tweeted a cryptic message shortly after the speech, saying, “But wait, there’s more,” which many fans interpreted as a response to Taylor Swift’s diss. However, Kanye West did not respond to the diss publicly.
The Aftermath
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West continued to simmer after the MTV VMAs. In 2019, Kardashian claimed that Swift had lied about not approving the controversial lyric in West’s song “Famous,” and Swift responded by releasing a statement on social media, accusing Kardashian of bullying her. The feud has since died down, but it remains one of the most iconic celebrity feuds in recent history.
Conclusion
Taylor Swift’s diss at the 2017 MTV VMAs may have been subtle, but it was still a clear swipe at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The feud between the three celebrities has been ongoing for years, and while it may have died down, it remains one of the most talked-about celebrity feuds in recent history.
