History

Historical Context

Kanye West’s 2009 interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards sparked a media firestorm that led him to exile himself to Hawaii, where he recorded “Power,” his 2010 comeback single that reportedly required 5,000 hours of production. The controversy resurfaced in 2016 with the release of “Famous,” whose lyric about Swift reignited the feud and prompted a leaked phone call.
