Taylor Swift got an apology from Billboard for they way it honored her … sounds weird, right?
As we reported, T.S. was named second Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard. Thing is … Billboard included a video celebrating her career, and in that vid there’s a shot of Taylor in the nude — quick clarification … it’s not Taylor, it’s a wax figure of her courtesy of her nemesis.
You may remember back in 2016, Kanye did a whole thing for his “Famous” video … with celebrity wax figures in the nude, including Taylor. People were pissed off back then — especially the celebs he featured — so it seemed that video was destined for deep archives.
Nope. Billboard included a shot of Taylor in it’s honor vid of Taylor, and now the music mag is apologizing … “We are deeply sorry to Taylor Swift and all of our readers and viewers that in a video celebrating Swift’s achievements, we included a clip that falsely depicted her.”
We’re guessing Billboard may have gotten a call from Taylor’s peeps, but the shot has now been 86’d from the vid.
Billboard has not yet revealed who’s in the #1 spot, but given that Rihanna, Drake and Lady Gaga were named 3, 4 and 5 respectively, it’s pretty clear Beyonce is gonna take the top spot.
We’ll see how much people will gripe over that.
