Kanye West famously stormed the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 when Taylor was accepting the best female video for You Belong To Me.
He famously said: 'I'ma let you finish but, Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,' referring to her Single Ladies video, which was also nominated.
Beyonce is said to have mouthed ‘Oh Kanye’ and cried later backstage.
Taylor is currently feuding with fellow nominee Ariana Grande as her manager, Scooter Braun bought the music rights to Taylor’s first six albums and she’s furious.
Nicki Minaj, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello have also reportedly stopped following Braun on social media since the feud began.
Gayle asked Alicia as the nominees were announced: ‘You said that once was enough and you wouldn’t host again.’
But she replied: ‘It’s like a marathon. You say that at the time and I’ve done my second marathon and now I’m doing this again. Let’s go!’
Alicia previously said in a statement about hosting the show: ‘At first, I did think last year was a one-time thing, but when the opportunity came back around, there was no question about returning as host.
‘Last year was such a powerful experience for me. Not only did I feel the love in the room, but I felt it from around the world, and it confirmed the healing and unifying power of music.’
