Despite the negative consequences - Lady Gaga canceled a joint tour the day after the incident - the rapper defends what he did that night seven years ago. "That is the job of an artist: not to be controlled by the business, nor by what people think, only by the truth," he assures while he is cheered by those attending the concert.
At the last edition of the Grammys, Taylor Swift, 26, won for the second time in her short career this award for best album, in 1989. She addressed her speech to young women: “There will be people on the road who will try to despise your success or take credit for your achievements or your fame. But if you focus on work and do not let those people confuse you, one day you will arrive at your destination, you will look around you and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you up here, and it will be the best feeling. of the world".
It was only a few days since Kanye West had published her song Famous of hers - in which he insulted her - so many took the singer's speech of thanks as a message to West.
