was the fallout really that bad immediately after? always wondered how bad it was for ye in that moment and the years following

it was. the media made a bigass deal about it and painted ye as a villain

this bad

it was everywhere for a couple of weeks. everybody was parodying that s***

My mom tried to brainwash me into hating him I remember

S*** almost worked on me too until I listened to MBDTF

Wasnt kanye on a late night show where the host made him apologize or something. Asked him what he thought his mom would have to say about the incident. Real patronizing s***

Taylor Swifts greatest contribution to music was getting disrespected by Kanye so he could be hated enough to cook up MBDTF

all that s*** ^ for interrupting someone at a ceremony

he literally had to leave the country lol

poor kanye had to face consequences for ruining the biggest moment of a 19-year old, up and coming artists career, plus publicly humiliating beyonce herself

SHOCKING

Yeah it was pretty bad. Even Ye stans on fb were saying that he did a d*** move. I laughed honestly at first watching it live but since everyone else was against it of course my 15 year old self had to also call him a d*** for it. I remember he was booed during the rest of the event and people didn’t even want to praise his Forever verse which came out right after that night I believe.

Iirc Beyonce cried that night because she may have taught she could get severe backlash from Kanye's action as well
Needless to say it was bad, real bad Michael Jackson

The moment he hopped on stage it was all cringe.

jay leno is a piece of s*** for trying to guilt him like this

Beyonce rejecting it later on didn't help

been known leno is a piece of s***

It gave us mbdtf so my d*** thanks u Taylor

interesting perspectives itt i understand the entire situation and everything that followed but my question is more for people who lived this and got to see it unfold in real time

Dam.

Taylor literally did nothing wrong lmao.

And this nonsense has followed her for over a decade

Literally made that b**** famous

In hindsight I can’t believe the kerfuffle a stupid VMA has caused. Not even a Grammy lmao

(She was multiplat already but do you fam)
