Sadly, we live in a world where Taylor Swift is given awards all too often. Luckily, she remains embarrassing while accepting them! Here's her top four most cringe-worthy acceptance speech moments:
#4: The 2015 MTV VMAs (when Taylor tries to defuse conversations about the fact that she's built an entire song and video off of trashing another woman by talking about gender norms)
*op's note: it was really hard to find a video of her speech. She probably already had her team remove them all for copyright infringement.
“There’s been a lot of discussion about this video and what it means, but I’m just happy that in 2015, we live in a world where boys can play princesses and girls can play soldiers.”
Same, Kanye...same.
#3: Every Win at the 2015 Billboard Awards (aka 20,000 hugs from Calvin & friends)
We get it. You have a boyfriend. We get it. You collect friends.
#2: The 2013 MTV VMAs (aka Taylor doing what she does best, exploiting her relationships and playing the victim)
Taylor wins an award for her "I Knew You Were Trouble" video. One that probably wasn't even written about Harry Styles and yet...created a music video in an effort to make it all about him. Upon winning she shouts out to the guy who inspired the song claiming "he knows exactly who he is." Cut to the greatest reaction .gif of all time:
#1: The 2014 GRAMMYS (the time she thought she was going to win, but didn't! Bless us all!)
She lost! We were spared a speech...and that's why this is #1.
