You had to feel bad for country star Taylor Swift last September, when Kanye West got his drink on and ruined her big moment at the People Still Watch MTV for Some Reason Awards:
Whoops, wrong clip. Well, you remember what happened, right? “I’m real happy for you, Taylor, but I’m doing this anyway,” and so forth. There was speculation that it was all a publicity stunt since Swift and West share an agent, but I dunno. She seemed genuinely mortified to me. Also, Swift & West would be a cool name for a cop show.
Anyway, she got kinda tired of talking about it. Here’s what happened when a Tampa Bay DJ got a little too nosy:
Radio host MJ persistently asked Swift about the incident after she’d answered his initial questions and repeatedly but politely asked him to move onto another subject.
“Well, you know, I think that the outpouring of love is what I focus on about that whole thing, and getting flowers from Janet Jackson is something that I never thought would happen in my whole life,” she initially answered. “Just everybody being supportive and showing love, it was really nice [to know] people I didn’t even think knew who I was were out there having my back and being really very kind to me.”
After MJ, who also had Miley Cyrus abruptly end an interview with him in June, asked about it several times, she very politely said: “You know, honestly, I’m trying not to make it into a bigger deal than it already is. It’s kind of become more of a bigger deal than I thought it would be. I would just like to move on a little bit. … I didn’t know what to think but I think we should talk about something else. It’s nothing I feel like we should talk about.”
After yet another question, she handed the phone to her rep and moved on herself — to another interview.
Ouch! Let that be a lesson to you, people: Just drop it.
Hey, she’s hosting SNL this week. Check it out!
Well, in her defense, Saturday Night Live is not a radio guy in Florida. And really, it’s more of a joke about how annoying people are, especially when they work for late-night comedy shows. Plus, there’s the joke about Bill Hader’s scrotum to liven things up. So never mind.

Is it just me or does she always look like she’s an extra from “Saturday Night Fever”, or “Roller Boogie”? Trade in the sweater for a sequined top and it’s 1979 again!
Or throw bellbottoms over her gaudy sequin dresses and there’s no difference.
My friend had this quote about Taylor Swift (who went to school with her): “Taylor looks like a rat, which coincides with her personality.”
I think she’s fairly pretty, but she could totally do without the 1.5 inches of makeup. Stuff looks like it was plastered on with a putty knife. And AFAIC, it’s totally open season on Kanye West. Few people have assiduously squirreled away ill will like he has.
I wasn’t saying she isn’t cute…
I think the deceptitude is minor here, at best.
But the trainwreck clip is brilliant
Not necessarily because of any Deception on Swift’s part here–because self-parody isn’t quite the same as talking about it–but I approve of the post anyway, largely because here’s an example for people like Jennifer Aniston about how to actually drop something, instead of bringing it up to tell people you’d like it not mentioned.
Same agent = publicity stunt.
Everyone knows who reps who and chances are there are 2′ high glossies of both of them right next to each other in their agent’s lobby.
Well, one could interpret her radio response as meaning she had already answered the question and said what she was going to say about it in that particular interview, not that she wasn’t ever going to talk about it again. I am also not sure if she has the clout to keep SNL from making jokes about it. I do see your point, though.
I don’t particularly care one way or the other about Swift, but Kanye was such a jerk that night (because it was a day ending in “y”) that I’ll side with her.
i was just LMAO at ‘oh that is a picture of my balls!’ hahahaha
Wow, that’s definitely not Deceiver-worthy. Taylor’s a sweet girl. I don’t think it was possible for her to host SNL and them not touch on the subject at least once. Even the clip, she really didn’t say anything about it, it was them teasing her about it.

I saw Swift once for free, she was performing at Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, and the second that she started to “sing”, all the dogs in the ‘hood started howling.
I gotta agree with you there, Swede. She seems like a sweet girl (though as Beige rightly points out, she should wipe off 90% of that makeup) but can’t sing for anything.
I apologize, didn’t mean to sound so snobbish. Just pointing out that she has been always good about steering the conversation from Kanye to the positive side of the event instead of playing up the victim card that most stars her age would have done. We’ll have to wait and see SNL tomorrow night to see if any of the skits try to parody the trainwreck that happened.
