Fans were outraged by Billboard's choice to include a clip from Kanye West's 'Famous,' calling it disrespectful and offensive in the context of celebrating Swift's achievements.
In their apology, Billboard expressed regret for including the clip, stating it 'falsely depicted' Swift, and emphasized their commitment to honoring her legacy appropriately.
The incident triggered a wave of criticism, prompting hashtags like #BillboardIsOverParty to trend as fans demanded accountability from the publication for its unprofessional approach.
