IF WE HAVE learned anything from Taylor Swift’s “Please welcome to the stage…” moments, it’s that Taylor Swift might be the most powerful woman in the world, and that she is both loved and feared by every other celebrity.
But a video from backstage at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards demonstrates how powerful Taylor Swift really is.
Are you ready for this?

And her gaggle of assistants form a circle around her so as to shield Swift from the cameras.
EH, WHAT IS THIS? A WALL OF TRUST?

Just before she departs, they shine a light on her nose to perform what we can only presume is a quick snot check.

See? She’s more powerful than Oprah and Obama combined.
All hail Taylor.
