Why do Kanye West and Taylor Swift have a feud?
The feud appears to date back to 2009 when Swift was a very young woman trying to launch her career off the ground at the age of 19, when West interrupted her acceptance speech after she won Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The event at Radio City Music Hall in New York City saw Beyonce claim the most awards, but she was outperformed by Swift’s You Belong with Me which took home the prize in that category, leaving West incensed.
“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you,” West began after seizing the microphone from the teenager. “I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!”
He was talking about Beyonce‘s Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), which claimed three awards, but the audience didn’t agree and he was booed off stage before being kicked out of the show. Beyonce graciously gave up her own speech time after winning Video of the Year to allow Swift to finish her own words.
