Link had been pondering this question since before the award ceremony; originally, the award was meant for Taylor.
She was also the first country music singer to ever win this award since the inception of the MTV Video Music Awards.
It was during her acceptance speech that the earth-shaking 'Kanye mic-grabbing' incident occurred, deeply impacting both Taylor and Kanye's careers.
The incident was related to the verbal altercation that ensued over social media between Taylor and the Kanye-Kardashian couple after Taylor was attacked by trolls 17 years ago.
Now that he was here, would Taylor still win the award? Would Kanye still rush up to grab the microphone?
Link cupped his chin, curiously watching Taylor Lautner on stage opening the envelope; this guy seemed to be one of Taylor's ex-boyfriends.
"And the Best Female Video goes to... Taylor Swift!"
Wow!!
The venue erupted with surprised exclamations.
