Taylor Swift almost made the 58th Annual Grammy Awards crowd and public forget about the 2016 Grammy glitches when she made her news-making acceptance speech for her win on Album Of The Year with "1989." Swift gave as good as she got during the Grammy event as payback for Kanye West's infamous lyrics from "Famous." The song is part of the line up in Kanye West's "The Life Of Pablo Album."
Apparently, Swift is not the only one unhappy about "Famous." Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian was less than supportive over West's antics. Kanye's good friend Kendrick Lamar giving Swift a big hug did not go unnoticed either.
According to E! News, Taylor Swift's response to Kanye was direct and strong. "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," Swift stated. "But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you'll know it was you, and the people who love you, who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment."
Hollywood Life reports that prior to Taylor Swift taking to the stage to accept her award, her strongest competitor Kendrick Lamar whom people thought was a shoo-in for his work in "To Pimp A Butterfly" gave Swift a huge hug. Lamar is a good friend to Kanye West and some wonder if Lamar's gesture despite West's pre-Grammy rift with Swift will not be taken kindly by Kanye.
I’m an artist… the definition of art - or at least my definition - is to be able to see the truth and then express it...

Daily Mail says, however, that Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar will find a huge supporter in Kim Kardashian, who does not approve of her husband's Twitter antics and of his Taylor Swift name dropping on "Famous." "She doesn't care about his song lyrics," a source said but continued to point to the hype that Kanye's album has been getting as a result. "The album [The Life of Pablo] is getting tons of attention now, and this was the plan."
