Responding to whether the event was the most stressful night of his life, the actor confessed there was some tension between the singer and Kanye West, who was also in attendance:
“Deny. It was great. I felt really famous that day. It was a bit awkward because Taylor Swift and I had to present an award. We were walking through the crowd and obviously, there was a little beef between Taylor and Kanye. I didn’t know any of this. But I was there! And I was, like, ├óΓé¼╦£Oh, this is awks.'”
It was in February of that year that the rapper debuted his song Famous where he referenced Taylor with the lyrics, “I made that bitch famous.” So, it was only three months later the singers had to see each other at the May gala!
“Awks” sounds right!
