For a short while, Swift and West were getting along amicably enough, however, these frenemies were set back on uncertain terms when Kanye spit "“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.” It wouldn't be a huge stretch to interpret Swift's response as a retort to Kanye's verse, as the young songstress stated "...there will be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame." Also check out Swift's performance of "Out of the Woods," which opened the night.
