On Wednesday night (4.29,) the songstress/actress showed up to accept the Visionary Award, but was left standing in silence when the teleprompter failed to display her prepared speech.

Though another guest suggested the recipient “ad lib†her speech, Taylor quickly dismissed the idea, stating “Ad lib? My speech is cute. They’re gonna pull up this goddamn speech. Where’s my speech?†“Y’all know I be having good speeches this year. I wanna read my little speech. I’m not ad libbing.â€
Pointing out that it was the second technical issue she’d experienced that evening, the celebrity explained that her microphone had failed during her earlier performance.
