Taylor Swift isn’t the only one taking a trip down memory lane to revisit her beef with Kanye West.

Just last week the Pop diva grabbed headlines for her TIME’s Person of the Year interview in which she detailed the “psychologically” damaging experiences she faced as a result of interactions with Kanye and his former wife Kim Kardashian (which ultimately stems from the rapper-mogul infamously interrupting her VMA acceptance speech in 2009).

More recently, another of West’s exes – model-actress Amber Rose (who he was with at the time of the award show ceremony) – shared her thoughts on the 14-year-old incident after being quizzed by ‘ET.’

From print to Web, radio, television, and beyond, ‘The Color Purple’ stars Taraji P. Henson, Fantasia, and Danielle Brooks have seemingly hit every high-profile outlet in America to trumpet the December 25 theater arrival of the highly anticipated film.

Nearly 40 years after Goldberg earned her first Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of “Celie” in the original motion picture adaptation of ‘Purple’ (1985), the 2023 cast – joined by director Blitz Bazawule – led the studio audience of the morning talk show in an emotional standing ovation for her performance.
