Billboard magazine apologized for the controversial images in the video that announced Taylor Swift as the second best pop star of the 21st century.

The promotional video shared by Billboard, one of the most respected publications in the music world, drew criticism for featuring footage from Kanye West's 'Famous' music video. The clip included a naked wax figure representing Swift.

The use of these images sparked a strong backlash from Swift's fans. Billboard removed the video and apologized on social media: "We apologize to Taylor Swift and all our followers for using inappropriate images in the video celebrating Swift's achievements. We deeply regret this mistake."

The dispute between Kanye West and Swift gained a new dimension with the emergence of an audio recording in 2020. In a conversation from 2016, West appeared to have obtained Swift's approval for the lyrics. However, Swift later stated that she was not aware that she would be insulted in the song and said, "I no longer want to be a part of this ongoing situation since 2009."
