the incident was parodied at the 2009 country music association awards, in which after swift won the award for music video of the year, carrie underwood, who was hosting the awards with brad paisley, told paisley that she thought his video for "welcome to the future" was a great video as well. paisley thanked her and then thanked his producers for the video, at which time singer little jimmy dickens stepped on the stage and pushed brad paisley away from the microphone, saying, "excuse me. excuse me, sir. excuse me, i'll let you finish later. now, brad paisley, i know you had a nice video and all that, but taylor swift had the best video of all time. you go girl!" swift laughed in her seat. paisley then remarked, "what kind of security do we have if a 4'9" 88-year-old man gets by it?" earlier in the awards show, underwood and paisley's monologue was a duet paying tribute to the song "mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys", in which the first line was "mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be kanye". additionally, when taylor swift hosted "saturday night live", one part of her monologue (which was done in the form of a song ostensibly about all the things that she was not going to talk about) included bill hader and jason sudeikis as security men charged with preventing kanye west from coming on stage. she closed her monologue by saying "kanye west is "not" here." additionally when taylor lautner, who then was rumored to be dating swift, hosted snl, in his monologue he beats up a cardboard cutout of west. the incident is also referenced in eminem's single "no love", which he says "man, get these whack cocksuckers off stage/where the fuck is kanye when you need him?/snatch the mic from 'em, bitch, i'mma let you finish in a minute, yeah/the rap was tight/but i'm 'bout to spit the greatest verse of all time".
