According to the outlet, they assumed that the \u201cLover\u201d hitmaker has seemingly taken quiet revenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For those unversed, their feud goes back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). During Swift\u2019s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/tag\/kanye-west\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:West;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">West<\/a> suddenly appeared on the stage and snatched the mic from her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the then-young soloist felt \u201cexcited\u201d seeing a senior artist, her excitement was soon crushed. He hijacked her speech to state that Beyonc\u00e9 deserved the title. He said that the \u201cSingle Ladies\u201d singer had \u201cone of the best videos of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The infamous incident went down in the history of award ceremonies. However, it recently gained attention again due to Swift\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/08\/19\/taylor-swift-thong-bodysuit-butt-cutout-photo-life-of-a-showgirl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:upcoming album;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">upcoming album<\/a>, which will be released on October 3.
