No one living in this era can ever get over the 2009 VMA when Kanye West, now known as Ye, sparked a notorious feud with Taylor Swift. In a shocking moment, Ye stormed the stage, interrupting Swift's acceptance speech. While everyone thought it was just another day when Ye’s intrusive thoughts took over himself in a spontaneous outburst, a recent confession suggests otherwise. Apparently, the incident was not just a result of Ye's impulsive nature, but a calculated move planned days in advance. 

Although, it was not exactly targeted at Taylor Swift, but planned as one of Ye's antics, which would clear those still wondering what really drove his actions that night.

The recent episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, named Iran So Far Away, had SNL alums on it. They explained how Ye's infamous VMA moment was eerily foreshadowed by an SNL sketch Andy Meyers conceptualized, where Ye would interrupt award shows, including the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and the Nobel Prize in Physics. The writers thought they were poking fun at his notorious stage-storming antics, but little did they know he would take it too far.

At the 2009 VMAs, when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift, the Lonely Island guys thought he was trying to act out their bit. "I remember thinking, 'Oh this is so funny, but he's kind of ripping off our bit,'" said Akiva Schaffer. Jorma Taccone added, "Could have been better. Could have been funnier." They assumed it was a joke, but Ye took the sketch's premise too far, blurring the lines between comedy and reality.

If it were to go further, it can soon be noted that Ye’s jab at award shows is not something the SNL people came up with. It is something ingrained in his soul. 

As reported by the Business Standard, it all started when Ye expressed his disdain for award ceremonies a decade ago, stating how there is "Absolutely no pleasure in that side of it at all.” He believed these events trivialized the music industry, turning it into a "game" that undermined the hard work and dedication of artists.

His disdain for the glam and glitzy events would run further deeper when he felt they diminished the value of his craft, making it seem less serious, and reducing it to a competition. Hence, not just the VMAs, but by criticizing award shows like the grand old Grammys, he did make his case to put forth before the world the importance of treating music as art, rather than a trivial pursuit.
