The lowdown: Reflecting on Kanyegate from the 2009 VMAs, this booming, nostalgic ballad is a message of forgiveness to the rapper. Taylor created a minor controversy when she performed the song at the ceremony the very next year. It is the eleventh track on Speak Now.
The vote: After a modest start, "Innocent" climbed to the top twenty on the strength of fifteen scores of 9 or above. A last-minute 1 cost it a couple of places. (Maybe jinzo is Team Kanye?)
Best line: "Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything/and everyone believed in you?"
I hope he didn't run up onstage and steal the limelight while you were accepting an award!
No. It's holds a somewhat different message for me. It's like, he's well abusive when he's drunk, so this song is like it's okay dad, who you are, is not what you did. He was drunk? If you get what I'm saying.
