Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the biggest names in the music industry, and her remarkable rise to the top has left an indelible mark on her fans. Whether for better or worse, there is hardly anyone in the world right now who hasn’t at least heard of Taylor Swift.
That said, Swift’s impact is evident not just in her musical success, but also in her widespread recognition and influence across the globe. However, she recently got blasted after releasing a forgettable album, which also repeated a decade-long history related to Beyoncé.
The pop music sensation has crafted a career by creating music that resonates with fans globally, spanning from teenage girls to full-fledged adults. A considerable number proudly identify themselves as ‘Swifties’ and that’s not really going to change anytime soon.
Kanye West Once Embarrassed Taylor Swift In Front Of Beyoncé
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West began over a decade ago, with a pivotal moment at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2009. During the awards ceremony in New York City, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award, declaring that Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.
“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”
This incident caused shock and disappointment, with even President Obama referring to Kanye as “a jackass.” The feud continued with Kanye interrupting Taylor at the 2009 GRAMMYs, leading to widespread criticism. Despite the challenges, Beyoncé later used her Video of the Year win to invite Taylor Swift back on stage and let her finish her speech.
Taylor Swift’s Forgettable Album Got Blasted By Fans After History Repeats Itself Following A Beyoncé Snub
Taylor Swift made history at the Grammys this year by winning Album of the Year for the fourth time. However, Swift’s victory was accompanied by an unusual moment reminiscent of Kanye West embarrassing her in 2009.
While Swift wasn’t interrupted during her recent Grammy speech, Jay-Z expressed his disappointment, pointing out that Beyoncé has “never won Album of the Year.” During his acceptance speech for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Grammy Award, Jay-Z, accompanied by his daughter Blue Ivy, shared his feelings about Beyoncé not winning the prestigious award category.
“Obviously, it’s subjective because, you know, it’s music and it’s opinion-based.” He then addressed Beyoncé, saying, “But you know, some things, you know, I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.”
Jay-Z added:
“So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. It doesn’t work. Some of you are going to go home tonight and feel like you’ve been robbed. Some of you may get robbed. Some of you don’t belong in the category. All right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, that was it, no. When I get nervous, I tell the truth.”
Taylor Swift’s Midnights was not received well by fans at all, as quite a few of them took to Twitter and blasted the album for being incredibly forgettable and not deserving of the Grammy it was awarded.
And she's not even the most deserving white person in the category like what are we doing here……..

Jay Z didn’t lie with his speech today one bit. Things might look like they have changed but they are just the same as you see the amount of effort and work people of color have to put to get recognized in the big categories in comparison to their white peers. Specially women of…

We all know SOS deserved this year and Renaissance Deserved last year! notice how we still hear SOS songs and even Renaissance songs but those other 2 albums that won MUTE!

undeniably her worst pop album. a poor showcase of her songwriting abilities and Jack’s production. Truly an album that’ll be forgotten in her discography and an example of the Recording Academy’s incompetence and refusal to reward black women when they deserve it.

Taylor Swift will always remain one of the most accomplished musicians of all time. However, that does not mean for a second that she will not have haters and people who feel she doesn’t deserve all the accolades she has gotten.
