One of the anecdotes from the 2017 MTV awards ceremony is Taylor Swift's parody of herself, in the video that he presented throughout the ceremony.
The video clip was titled "Look What You Made Me Do", and the artist takes in him with great irony his well-known fights with his environment, as well as his supposed enemies.
An expected gesture
Those attending the 2017 MTV awards ceremony were already waiting for some gesture from Taylor Swift as a sign of peace before the controversies in which the singer has been involved.
The video entered the scene a few minutes after the awards ceremony began. In it Swift does an exercise in self-criticism, and laughs at herself recreating old characters from her famous clips. This is the case of "You Belong With Me", Out of the Woods "and" Shake It Off ".
Elsewhere in the video the artist quotes herself, using words referring to how you think others see you. As examples, “the pearl” or “the victim”.
Other details of the video
"Look What You Made Me Do" seems to be directed, among other destinations, to Kanye West. Since this musician interrupted her at an MTV awards ceremony From previous editions, there seemed to be a great enmity between the two.
Another part of the video also makes mention of Taylor's relationship with the press, who has not positioned himself on his side in several of his well-known fights, both with professional colleagues and with his ex-partners.
