Another chapter of the Taylor Swift–Kanye West saga played out earlier this year when the rapper said on his The Life of Pablo album that he made the pop star famous and had a controversial line about potentially having sex with her.
In a recent interview with Vogue, Swift comments on the rapper continuing the narrative that started when he interrupted her at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
“I think the world is so bored with the saga,” she says. “I don’t want to add anything to it, because then there’s just more.”
Swift seemingly addressed West in her acceptance speech for Album of the Year at this year’s Grammy Awards.

“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice,” she said, “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’re going, you’ll 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.”
Continuing in the interview, Swift clarifies what her purpose was in making the speech.
“I guess what I wanted to call attention to in my speech at the Grammys was how it’s going to be difficult if you’re a woman who wants to achieve something in her life—no matter what,” she says.
She says that her fans were greatly impacted by her making the stand. She recalls a time she went shopping in Beverly Hills and multiple people, especially mothers, came up to thank her for her words.

“Their response was really beautiful,” she says. “You never know what anyone’s response is going to be. So when it’s good, it’s really nice.”
