In fact, this was one of the biggest years of her career as well as her personal life as her fame skyrocketed even further like never before.

Taylor Swift Pays Tribute To 9/11 Victims
At the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday night, Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s song ‘Fortnight‘ took home the best collaboration award. Swift began her acceptance speech after receiving the award on stage by recalling the tragic tragedies of September 11, 2001.
“Guys, I wanted to say, waking up this morning in New York on Sept. 11, I’ve just been thinking about what happened 23 years ago,” Swift said. “Everyone who lost a loved one and everyone that we lost, and that is the most important thing about today — and everything that happens tonight falls behind that. But it is so amazing to have the opportunity to thank and honor the people who worked so hard with me on this video,” the pop star added.
She then praised her collaborator Post Malone and said, “There is a very clear reason why Post Malone is everyone in music’s favorite person to collaborate with — and it is because you are so ridiculously talented, you are so versatile and you’re the most down-to-earth person. Honestly so unfailingly polite. It has taken me forever to get him to stop calling me ma’am.”
