Yes, the video she’d most likely been referring to when talking about “slim bodies” was “Bad Blood,” a montage featuring a lot of supermodels and skinny actresses in superhero getups. Her speaking up about those things doesn’t mean she’s dissing the other nominees. You can debate whether the “Anaconda” video is brilliant or bad, but you can’t argue with Minaj that it was one of the most iconic pop-culture products of the past year, nor with the idea that a lot of people had a knee-jerk negative response to its glorification of big black butts.

To the public, the actual awards at the Video Music Awards usually seem irrelevant compared to its ceremony’s spectacles-Madonna’s makeout, Miley’s twerking, etc. Maybe one of the men took your slot.” Cue hundreds of people making the obvious joke at the same time. “It's unlike you to pit women against each other. “I've done nothing but love & support you,” she tweeted to Minaj. Her “Bad Blood” clip is nominated for Video of the Year, alongside works from Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Mark Ronson, and Ed Sheeran. Though her name wasn’t mentioned, Swift took this as an act of aggression. ![]()
