“LEAVE. HER. ALONE. ITS BEEN 16 YEARS,” wrote one fan in all caps, clearly exasperated. Another wrote, “The Grammys shall be interesting.” One person commented, “BULLY (Taylor Version).” An X user wrote, “This is so ??$/& the obsession 16 years later is insane.” One person reminded him, “The obsession is insane, mind you the VMAs was 16 YEARS AGO! Give it a break! Get help!”

Apart from this, Ye also thanked the Grammy Awards for nominating him for his song Carnival, writing, “Thank you to the Grammies for nominating Carnival.” He tagged Taylor in the post too, which didn’t go unnoticed. One fan commented, “So nobody is gonna talk about the Taylor Swift tag?” A sarcastic comment read, “aw is someone a swiftie???”

Kanye’s feud with Taylor

For the unversed, in 2009, Kanye interrupted Taylor while she was giving her winning speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, claiming that Beyonce deserved the award she had received. The situation escalated when, in 2016, he made an explicit reference to her in the song Famous and also featured her likeness in the video without her consent.

Taylor has been nominated for multiple Grammys this year, including Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Music Video, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
