he did this before but ended up working with the guy he interrupted (director So-Me) as if by way of apology, so expecting Swift collab by the end of the year

this would have the potential to be bad for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the words "kanye" and "collab" in the same sentence have been pretty gag-inducing in the past 12 months or so

whole thing seems superstaged to me. do they share a parent lahel?
at least partially feeling all conspiracy theory because (and this may tip my hand as being ignorant of popstuff - but...) i'd never heard of Taylor Swift until this incident, and informal polling around the office this morning has confirmed I'm not the only one.
now she's a household name.

lahel = label, obv
you are super massively ignorant of pop stuff

Where the hell do you work? Taylor Swift was def a household name well before today.

was it hipsters who enabled Kanye to turn into such an asshole, or was he like that from the start?
real talk, I have it on good authority that grizzly bear basically goaded him into doing this

this prob would have been funnier if i didnt already say he raps over the single ladies beat, but excuse me for not knowing the big single of the latest in a long line of boring no-talent mixtape rappers

Yeah, both of her albums have gone quadruple platinum in the US, and she's had two recent top five songs.

[sheepish]I really do wonder about the blindspot - I try to keep at least a cursory knowledge of mainstream radio - but man it looks like i missed the boat on this one. (wondering to self what else have i missed?) She's not all bad, in fact. I kinda like her song a lot. [/sheepsish]
Ah well, will blame it on the internet. But whatever.

Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, “You can’t fault a man for speaking his mind,” which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd.

the look on her face was classic. also fuck her for acting like she deserved some big Oscar-style ovation at the end, she should have just walked out and waved and thanked Beyonce. almost as self-absorbed as Kanye but not anywhere near as funny or classic. what a boring lame this taylor swift is
