Taylor Swift took a bold fashion risk at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards and settled her beef with Nicki Minaj.
She made a red hot surprise performance with Nicki Minaj by singing Nicki’s song “Trini Dem Girls” before segueing into “The Night Is Still Young.”

Earlier this year, Nicki was disappointed that her popular video for “Anaconda” did not get nominated for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards.
“If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” Minaj tweeted, sarcastically referencing Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video slamming Katy Perry.
“I’ve done nothing but love & support you,” Swift responded. “It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.”
“Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the takedown of a woman…,” Katy Perry chimed in.

“First of all, I spoke to Taylor Swift yesterday on the phone,” Nicki said about their feud while appearing on Good Morning America on July 24.
“She was super, super sweet. She apologized. She said, ‘You know, look, I didn’t understand the big picture of what you were saying but now I get it.’ So we’re all good.”
“I posted something on my Instagram [showing] the stats of other videos that had been nominated previously, and it just seemed to be a little funny business going on. ‘Anaconda’ just had a huge cultural impact, and on top of that, we broke the Vevo record,” Nicki added.
“So this is actually my third time breaking the Vevo record, and ‘Anaconda,’ therefore, should have been nominated. I do think if it was one of the ‘pop girls,’ they would’ve had many nominations for it. I think I got two nominations for ‘Anaconda,’ for Female and Hip-Hop, but it should’ve been for the Year, and that’s all we were saying.”
