Taylor Swift references Kanye West VMAs incident during ‘Eras’ tour

Taylor Swift has seemingly made reference to the Kanye West VMAs incident while performing on her ‘Eras’ Tour.The moment took place during the pop star’s show in Mexico City on Sunday night (August 27), as part of her ongoing world tour.

In footage shared by an audience member – which is now circulating on social media – Swift is seen throwing some harmless shade at West by making a comment about the infamous 2009 scandal.Speaking to her audience while sitting by her piano, the singer was interrupted by the crowd, as their cheers began to drown her out. “It’s the best way to be interrupted, by the way, just people chanting your name,” she said, looking up and smiling at them.“It’s really the only way to be interrupted, and I would know,” she joked.The comment appears to be in reference to when the rapper rushed to the stage and interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech 14 years ago, after she won the award for Best Female Video.

Taking place at the 2009 VMAs, West took the microphone out of her hand to declare that he thought that Beyoncé should have been given the award for her song ‘Single Ladies’.“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish,” he began.
