Kanye West has reignited his long-standing feud with Taylor Swift, now blaming the pop star as a major reason he’s never been invited to perform at the Super Bowl.
In a since-deleted X post, West vented, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments. George Bush don’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat.”
West and T-Swift’s infamous feud dates back to the 2009 VMAs, when West interrupted her acceptance speech and said the award should have gone to Beyoncé instead, according to TMZ.

“I was standing onstage, and I was really excited because I had just won the award, and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage,” Swift told reporters after the ceremony, “and then I wasn’t so excited anymore.”
The tension escalated in 2016 with his controversial track “Famous,” where he referred to Taylor in a derogatory lyric. Her team denied approving the line and criticized its misogynistic tone.
Since then, their rocky relationship has remained a headline-grabbing saga of public spats and unresolved drama.
West said his long-standing Super Bowl halftime snub also stems from his infamous 2005 comment criticizing President George W. Bush during a Hurricane Katrina telethon.
In a now-deleted post on X, West claimed his outspoken moments and bold artistry have kept him off the NFL stage because he’s “ahead of my time.”

He also mentioned that his antisemitic comments happened before he “went full Nazi”.
“How it feel to be the best living and blocked from the main stage because of being ahead of my time,” he wrote in his post. “(And I mean all of this was before I went full Nazi of course).”
Meanwhile, Taylor, true to form, is likely to “shake it off” as the drama continues to swirl.
