Taylor Swift hasn't had the best of experiences when it comes to award ceremonies. I mean, who can forget Kanye West's now-notorious "I'mma let you finish" moment at the 2009 VMAs? It only sparked an ongoing feud which came to involve some of the biggest powerhouses in the entertainment industry, including the rapper's wife, Kim Kardashian.
And now, it appears that T-Pain really stuck his foot in it at the iHeartRadio Music Awards last night, when he cracked the most cringeworthy - not to mention insensitive - joke about the singer's breasts.
The Epiphany singer, who was hosting the awards ceremony, took the opportunity to make a joke about the time he'd accidentally brushed the 30-year-old's chest.
"Taylor – I’ve never apologised to you [for] the first time we met," he said. "You’re so much taller than me that I thought you were standing on something, so without looking down I tried to stand on whatever I thought you were standing on and bam, headbutted you right in the boob, I am so sorry. That was not my intention."
Although it's no crime to crack a joke that misses the mark, it's important to remember that Taylor is a victim of sexual harassment - having been groped by a former radio host.
So yeah, it was an awkward moment to say the least, and her reaction says it all.
"Taylor Swift's reaction to T-Pain's joke was all of America," wrote one Twitter user about the incident, while another corroborated "T-Pain dropping F Bombs and sh*tting on a show that made a whole new generation in America fall in love with him, then he wants to talk about Taylor’s boob? Wtf inappropriate. @taylorswift13 being so graceful, not like she had a choice."
Taylor went onto win the award for Tour of the Year, and Best Music Video in the "Socially Voted Category" for the song, Delicate.
