Taylor Swift won Album of the Year tonight at the 2016 Grammy Awards for 1989, and after doing some excited jumps alongside bestie Selena Gomez and a secret handshake with Jack Antonoff, the singer took the stage and delivered a fiery speech that gave chills to anybody who heard it.
Not only did it scream girl power, but she blatantly called out Kayne West, who recently put Swift in his new song "Famous," where he raps, "I feel
like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch
famous." 
Well, Taylor had something to say about all that...
"I
want to thank fans for the last 10 years and the Recording Academy for
giving us this unbelievable honor. I want to thank all of
my collaborators that you season this stage, mostly I want to thank my
co-executive producer Max Martin who has deserved to be up here for 25
years," she began.
"And as the first woman to win
Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the
young women out there, there are going to be people along the way
who will try to undercut your success or take credit for
your accomplishments or your fame.
"But
if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack
you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around
and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment."
Ooooooh snap!
Kanye
and Taylor were frenemies for many years after he infamously
interrupted her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but the pair
seemingly made up at the 2015 Grammys. Taylor even presented Kanye with
the Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs.
Although
Yeezy claimed it was all in good fun and that Swift was in on the whole
thing, we're starting to wonder if that's really the case. Especially
since Taylor's spokesperson strongly denies that she knew about the actual lyric.
And, you know, this epic speech.
