The MTV Video Music Awards were established in 1984 by MTV to celebrate the top music videos of the year.
While this would endow her with the power to allegedly call out bad boyfriends, bad friends (famously John Mayer and Katy Perry), and even the industry itself, this tenuous positioning would eventually subject her to warranted critiques demanding that she answer for allegedly anti-woman lyrics and her seeming willingness to readily embrace a victimhood narrative - as famously called out by Kim Kardashian-West. One could also say that that same incident cemented Taylor Swift’s carefully-crafted image as an underdog. So much so that West would eventually trudge down a path that seemed to show that he found more of a reward in being contrarian (even down to his embracing of Donald Trump and MAGA-rhetoric) versus his earlier persona as an outspoken superstar that called out industry bias against black people and the Bush administration for racism against the black community in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. One could say that the incident very much cemented West’s persona as a hip-hop rock star and the bad guy that everyone loves to hate.
