DietCoke 386 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 While I agree Nicki started off with a weak argument about body type, once she combined it/brought up the race issue, it made sense. Anaconda, in a sense, did the same thing Wrecking Ball did. When people in this thread mentioned "revolution", I'm almost positive they meant a media revolution. And that's true. Anaconda was as inescapable as Miley's Wrecking Ball, and Miley became MTVs sweetheart (case and point: she's hosting this year). I think Nicki's issue has to do with her recognizing the similar cultural impact she and Miley had, while seeing only Miley get praise and, in the end, both a nomination and award for VOTY. The main, general differences there is skin color and body type. And those are the differences Nicki had a problem with. Taylor really had nothing to do with it. Anaconda and Bad Blood are both great tracks/videos, but they couldn't be any more different. Taylor happened to fit the "skinny girl" comment so I can see why she assumed it was about her, but she wasn't personally attacked. Nicki was referencing something she found to be an issue with MTV itself, not Taylor specifically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
