Swift was not nominated for an award this year. Taylor's absence from the show directly followed MTV's announcement that Kanye West would be given four minutes of airtime to do as he pleased on the broadcast. Tensions between Swift and West ran high earlier in the summer after Kim Kardashian leaked video of West's song, "Famous."
Swift said that the song is misogynist. In 2009, Kanye stormed onstage just as Swift was being presented an award. He cut the startled singer off, and he grabbed the microphone and protested in support of Beyonce. The two of them have years of resentment between them.
