Swift insists the rap star wasn't the one who made her famous
Taylor Swift's album of the year acceptance speech at the 2016 Grammys had a message of empowerment for young women.
"As the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame."
She went on to say that if they just focus on the work they're doing, "Someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you'll know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there."
It's an uplifting message, sure, but many are also interpreting Swift's words as shade thrown at her perennial nemesis, Kanye West.
The two got in a new beef last week over one of the lyrics on his new album, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous."
The lyric is of course referencing the time that West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs.
