Taylor Swift was at the Super Bowl over the weekend to support her boo Travis Kelce but it looks like some drama might’ve occurred on Sunday that the world didn’t know about.
The suites at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas were filled with A-listers, including Swift and, apparently, West was supposed to be one. But former NFL star Brandon Marshall says Swift actually had the rapper booted from the stadium.
“Kanye West pulls up to Vegas. Kanye West buys a ticket right in front of [Taylor Swift]’s booth,” Marshall said on the “I Am Athelte”podcast. “Taylor Swift gets pissed off. She boom boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium. He was trying to leverage her celebrity.”
In the world of music and entertainment, there are moments that become etched in our memories forever. One such moment occurred at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. This incident not only sparked controversy but also highlighted the complex relationship between these two iconic artists.
It was a night filled with anticipation and excitement as the 2009 VMAs took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Taylor Swift, a rising star in the music industry, had just won the Best Female Video award for her hit song “You Belong with Me.” As she stepped onto the stage, a sense of joy and accomplishment radiated from her.
However, in a shocking turn of events, Kanye West abruptly stormed the stage, snatching the microphone from Swift’s hand. With a boldness that would define his career, West declared, “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.”
The audience stood in disbelief, unsure of how to react. Swift, only 19 years old at the time, was visibly shaken and embarrassed by the incident. This unforgettable moment left a lasting impact on both artists, their fans, and the music industry as a whole.
The fallout from this incident was swift and intense. Social media erupted with support for Swift, condemning West’s actions as disrespectful and uncalled for. Even celebrities and fellow musicians voiced their outrage, expressing solidarity with the young singer. Beyoncé, the artist who West had interrupted Swift to praise, later invited her back on stage during her acceptance speech to give her the opportunity to finish what she had started.
In the aftermath, West faced substantial backlash and public scrutiny for his behavior. He would later apologize multiple times, both privately and publicly, to Swift for his actions. Swift, on the other hand, handled the situation with grace and maturity beyond her years. She accepted West’s apologies and moved on, focusing on her music and her career.
