Taylor had the perfect joke for when fans interrupted her show.

There are still so many pop cultural ties dating back to a viral moment at the 2009 MTV VMAs. When Kanye West took the stage to grab the mic from Taylor Swift and claim that Beyonce had "the best music video of all time," he was widely criticized. Many fans credit his resulting vanish from the spotlight for the creation of his beloved 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The drama also emerged again a few years later when Kanye mentioned Taylor directly on The Life Of Pablo. The resulting beef led to Taylor's much maligned Reputation era, though many people's perspective on the beef has shifted in the wake of Kanye's fall from grace.

Now, Taylor Swift is showing that she's more than capable of laughing at the event in retrospect. During a recent show in Mexico she was interrupted from performing by the massive crowd of fans cheering her name. "People chanting your name, it’s really the only way to be interrupted, and I would know," she told the crowd. A clip of the interaction quickly began making the rounds online as fans loved her ability to find humor in the situation. Check out the video below.
