Since he was the host,Taylor Lautnerrevealed that he couldn’t properly hear what West and Swift were saying. Thinking that it was an impromptu skit, Lautner thought it was all part of an act until he saw Taylor Swift’s face when she turned back. On the podcast calledThe Squeeze, theTwilightactor revealed that he regrets that speech to this day!
“I can barely hear it. I can’t see them. I’m just assuming that this whole thing was a practiced and rehearsed skit because why else would Kanye West be jumping up on the stage, interrupting Taylor Swift? It just didn’t make sense.”
He further continued,
“I’m actually caught like, laughing like giggling at them. I’m like, ‘I can’t hear them, but this is probably really funny right now.’ He jumped off, she finished. The second she [Taylor Swift] turned back around and I saw her face for the first time, I was like, ‘Oh. [That wasn’t a skit.] No, that wasn’t good.’”
Being famous for putting her real-life incidents into songs, Taylor Swift suffered insults from Kanye West twice but later changed her persona. With the iconic lines“Cause she’s dead”,Taylor Swift later redefined her personality and came up with the album of Reputation.
