The pop rock band performed their updated version of Billy Joel's hit, 'We Didn't Start the Fire,' at the VMAs.
Placing Ye and Swift side by side in the song was a controversial choice because of the ongoing feud between the pair, but even more so to perform it at the VMAs. Ye infamously stormed the VMAs stage in 2009 after Swift had just won the award for Video the Year, to proclaim that Beyoncé should have won instead.
Ye would later go on to name check Swift in a song called"Famous," where he referred to her in a sexual manner. The video for that song also featured a mannequin resembling Swift in bed with Ye. The rapper claimed Swift gave him the green light to reference her in the song, something she has always denied.
Fans watching the awards at home were shocked to see the two enemies mentioned in the song, especially because Swift was in the audience at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. "DID THAT MAN JUST MENTION KANYE WEST AND TAYLOR SWIFT OH ITS OVER FOR THAT FLOP ELECTRIC TOUCH MAN F****** UUUUUUUU," complained one person on X, formerly known asAnother added:"think about taylor swift watching her most recent collaborator singing 'kanye west and taylor swift' on the vma stage thirteen years later ON THE DAY@falloutboy. what is this..
"everyone is so shocked at fall out boy name dropping kanye and taylor but this song has been out with those lyrics since before speak now tv," they wrote on X.
