00:00 It's like there's non-stop awkward moments with Taylor Swift.
00:11 Here's a look at some of the most awkward moments of Taylor Swift's career part 2.
00:15 There's this huge moment or series of moments with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
00:20 So Taylor Swift and Kanye West's feud sparked anew when Kanye released the song Famous in
00:26 2016, including controversial lyrics about Taylor Swift.
00:34 While Kanye West claimed that Taylor Swift approved the lyrics, she disputed this in
00:40 her Grammy speech.
00:41 And Kim Kardashian defended Kanye West, who she was married to at the time, alleging that
00:46 no, Taylor Swift actually did give him the approval.
00:52 Kanye West later released a video that featured an unclothed Taylor Swift clone lying in bed,
00:57 along with other famous people in the bed with Kanye West in the video.
01:04 And Kim Kardashian then went on to share a phone call claiming that Taylor Swift found
01:09 it a compliment to be included in the song.
01:13 But Taylor Swift countered, questioning the absence of Kanye West saying he's going
01:18 to use the term "that b-i-t-c-h."
01:21 Now the saga unfolded on social media.
01:25 Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, they say no Taylor Swift gave her approval.
01:28 Taylor Swift was like, well sure, include me in your song, but you never told me you
01:32 were going to call me the b-word.
01:41 There was also a reporter that made a mistake with Taylor Swift.
01:45 Ahead of the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, a journalist made an awkward mistake when
01:50 telling Taylor Swift that she was up for some additional awards.
01:54 And Taylor Swift, she was clearly surprised and she responded with uncertainty about hearing
02:00 this and the interviewer had to quickly recover.
02:04 And she played it off by jokingly suggesting they'd create an award for Taylor Swift's
02:10 kindness.
02:11 Either way, Taylor Swift was gracious in her response and took the awkward moment in stride.
02:16 Despite the mix up, Taylor did win the Woman of the Year award that year, which was an
02:22 already known fact that she was going to win it anyways.
02:25 Also back in 2014, during the Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift experienced a moment of shock
02:32 and disappointment when her album, Red, was not announced as the winner for Album of the
02:38 Year.
02:39 Taylor Swift revealed in an interview that when presenter Alicia Keys announced "Random
02:43 Access Memories" by Daft Punk as the winner, the elongated pronunciation of "r" briefly
02:52 made Taylor think that she had actually won the award.
02:56 And I think Alicia Keys did that on purpose to build suspense.
02:59 But Taylor Swift, yeah, it was pretty awkward for her.
03:03 She candidly shared that she felt a mix of emotions in that moment.
03:07 She even skipped the after parties, she went home, she cried herself to sleep, and she
03:12 consoled herself with a meal from In-N-Out Burger.
03:16 There was also this Taylor Swift/Nicki Minaj feud that went on.
03:19 This happened in 2015 when Nicki Minaj found herself in a social media feud over MTV VMA
03:25 nominations.
03:26 It started when Nicki Minaj's Anaconda music video was not nominated for Video of the Year,
03:32 leading her to question if she missed the deadline or something.
03:38 She also expressed that videos celebrating slim bodies usually get nominated.
03:43 So Taylor Swift, when she heard that, she interpreted it as a reference to her Bad Blood
03:47 music video and responded, suggesting that maybe a man took Nicki Minaj's spot.
03:54 So not her, a slim girl took her spot.
03:57 Nicki Minaj then had to go on to clarify that she wasn't actually targeting Taylor Swift,
04:00 she was speaking about the larger issue here.
04:03 And Taylor Swift had to apologize and acknowledge her misunderstanding, even though it was pretty
04:08 awkward for her.
04:09 And the artists, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, they ended up reconciling and they performed
04:14 together on stage.
04:16 So yeah, that awkward moment was cleared up pretty quickly.
04:20 Then there was another moment on Jimmy Fallon back in 2019 where Taylor Swift had an unexpected
04:24 reveal on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
04:28 Jimmy Fallon surprised her by disclosing to the audience that she had undergone LASIK
04:34 eye surgery.
04:35 Taylor Swift, she was confused about this and she did confirm her ability to see.
04:39 She said, "Yes, I can see."
04:41 And she also said, "I did."
04:43 How do you know that?
04:44 In reference to Jimmy Fallon knowing that she had LASIK eye surgery.
04:48 So Jimmy Fallon, who was aware of her recent surgery, inquired if she took painkillers,
04:54 to which she admitted to receiving strong medication.
04:57 And Jimmy Fallon shared a video provided by Taylor Swift's mom showing her post-surgery
05:03 wearing protective eyewear, attempting to pick a banana, and showing clear emotional
05:08 confusion about it.
05:10 Taylor Swift was shocked at how Jimmy Fallon actually obtained this footage and it created
05:14 a very embarrassing and awkward moment for her, yet a very memorable moment for Taylor.
05:21 Don't fall asleep eating a banana, okay?
05:26 I'm not asleep, my mind is alive.
05:29 On that note, that's where I'll end off this one looking at some of Taylor Swift's
05:32 most awkward moments of her career part 2.
