Lip readers, assemble! At the 2024 VMAs, cameras caught Taylor Swift’s reaction to Video Vanguard Award winner Katy Perry’s acceptance speech, and her reaction to one specific line is especially intriguing.
In her speech, Perry, Swift’s friend-turned-nemesis-turned-friend-again, thanked the LGBTQ community for teaching her that it was possible to be both “kind and c-nt.” Clapping throughout (if there’s one thing Swift’s gonna do at an awards show, it’s stand up and clap), Swift then turned to her longtime producer Jack Antonoff, having apparently overheard whatever he was saying to his other seat mate. He then pointed straight at her. Was Jack Antonoff calling Taylor Swift both kind and c-nt? Kinda looks like it. Check out the video here.
Swifties were on high alert looking for the superstar’s reactions to the evening’s events, perhaps hoping for a return of Drunk Taylor, who was one of the best parts of last year’s VMAs.
