Sept. 13, 2009

Taylor Swift receives the award for best female video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. During her acceptance speech, Kanye West infamously takes the stage to interrupt her saying...
..."Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!"
and this incident started all the drama between Kanye and Taylor.
Taylor Swift sold 7 million of "Fearless" before Sept. 13, 2009. She won a VMA award over Beyoncé and Pink despite being a country Artist. Notably, It was given on Public Vote. Love Story and You Belong With Me was already successful globally....
... She was already topping the charts despite being a country artist. So she was already famous and successful. The only person that made her famous was Taylor Swift herself.
Even if we forget these for some time, Taylor Swift sold more than 1 million copies of her 4 albums consecutively, something only The Beatles have done. She earned a #1 hit on Billboard Hot 100 with WANEGBT. Fearless is literally...
...the most awarded country album of all time. 1989 is the most awarded pop album of all time. 1989 is the second pop album to have five singles chart inside the top-10.
She was already successful before that incident. She is still successful. and Kanye West does not have any credit for her success. Kanye West never made Taylor Swift famous. Taylor Swift is famous for her creation, for her music. She herself made her famous!
