00:00 Fall Out Boy performed on the VMAs stage for the first time since 2007, and it seems they
00:05 may have upset Taylor Swift fans.
00:08 Few can forget one of the most well-known moments in pop culture history, when Kanye
00:13 West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award.
00:17 "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had
00:23 one of the best videos of all time.
00:25 One of the best videos of all time."
00:32 Now 13 years after the incident, it was brought up again on the VMAs stage at the 2023 awards.
00:39 Fall Out Boy performed their cover of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" with
00:43 updated lyrics, referencing major events from the 90s to 2023.
00:48 And even though they were allegedly meant to be separate topics, Taylor Swift and Kanye
00:52 West's names were placed one after the other in Fall Out Boy's performance, leading to
00:57 many reactions.
00:58 A lot of users were shocked that the pop rock band would bring up the sore subject at the
01:03 VMAs, while others pointed out the song has been out since June and the lyrics have always
01:08 been the same.
01:09 However, Taylor Swift herself seemed unfazed, as she swept multiple awards categories throughout
01:14 the night, including winning Artist of the Year.
