With Taylor Swift re-releasing her old albums, fans are wondering if the song &#039;Innocent&#039; is about the infamous Kanye West 2009 VMA incident.

Is Taylor Swift’s &#8216;Innocent&#8217; Really About Kanye West and His Infamous VMA Snatch?

Taylor Swift [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/taylor-swift/] is known for her
talent for drawing emotions from real-life experiences into her music. With the
pop sensation re-releasing her albums, her fans have been getting some ‘from the
vault’ songs that had never been heard before and some that they already love.
Once she re-released ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’, her fandom went abuzz with
speculation that one of her songs, ‘Innocent’, was about her infamous VMA
incident with Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west].

While the ‘Cruel Summer’ singer had chosen not to acknowledge what went down
that fateful night, most songs from that album were written shortly after the
rapper’s mic snatch left her crying that awkward night.


IS TAYLOR SWIFT’S INNOCENT ABOUT KANYE WEST?

Earlier this year, Taylor Swift released ‘Innocent’ in her ‘Speak Now’ album
back in 2010. The song immediately garnered attention as it seemed she was
finally addressing the 2009 VMA mic snatch by Kanye West. While the singer once
hinted that the song was about a difficult time in her life, there were various
references to the Yeezy creator. However, it seemed as though the singer was
ready to bury the hatchet.



In the lyrics, the line that stood out to most was “32 and still growing up now”
as that was Ye’s age at the time of the incident. Although with her singing
about forgiveness and how “every one of us has messed up too,” fans could not
help but draw their own conclusions. In fact, even in the ‘Speak Now’ CD
booklet, the 33-year-old also had a secret one line that read, “life is full of
little interruptions.”

While at the time it seemed like Swift wanted to forgive Kanye West for his
erratic outburst, a lot has happened since then, which pointed to their feud
still being ongoing.


TIMELINE OF THE TAYLOR SWIFT-KANYE WEST FEUD

Over the years, the world has been privy to many awkward moments in VMA history.
One of those nights took place back in 2009. Although it may have been a simpler
time in the music industry with Taylor Swift just starting out, names like Kanye
West and Jay-Z already had a much bigger fan following. However, with the
singer/songwriter winning Best Video by a Female Artist, the now 46-year-old
ended up storming the stage and exclaiming that Beyoncé had the better album.



For a while there, things seemed to settle a little bit between Ye and the pop
singer. With her presenting him with the Video Vanguard Award in 2015
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-from-thanking-taylor-swift-to-announcing-his-presidential-camping-revisiting-kanye-wests-iconic-vma-vanguard-speech-from-twenty-fifteen/],
it seemed as though the two had put their bad blood behind them until only a
year later. Once the rapper came out with ‘Famous’, the two artists seemed to be
past the point of making up. However, the ‘Champagne Problems’ singer recently
ignited more speculation this year when she threw some shade at him during her
Eras Tour.
