Will Kanye West join Taylor Swift onstage for ‘I Did Something Bad’ at the AMA’s?
When Taylor Swift takes the stage at the 2018 American Music Awards on
Tuesday, Oct. 9, to perform “I Did Something Bad,” she’s unlikely to have a cameo
from the man who’s rumored to have inspired the song.
That’s according to Us Weekly, which reports Kanye West — whom fans believe
was the “narcissist” Taylor references in her song — is “not going” to the awards
show despite whispers he might team up with Taylor to either rehash or
put an end to their years-long feud. “[Kanye] would not come out with Taylor even if he were”
attending the show, says an Us source.
Taylor and Kanye have famously traded barbs on multiple occasions, beginning in 2009 when he interrupted her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech. More recently, Kanye called her a “b—-” in his track “Famous” and took credit for her success. He also secretly recorded a phone conversation in which they discussed the song but, according to People, not the nasty lyric about her. Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, later went after her on social media, sparking some to suspect she was talking about Kim and/or Kanye when she told her “Reputation” audience in May, “If someone uses name-calling to bully you on social media, and even if a lot of people jump on board with it, that doesn’t have to defeat you, it can strengthen you instead.”
