Updated

Taylor Swift's infamous Album of the Year acceptance speech from 2016, during which she indirectly slammed Kanye West for his controversial song "Famous," inspired a brand new commercial for the Grammys.

The spot, which was released on Tuesday, shows young girls following their dreams as they recite the inspiring speech word-for-word.

"I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame," the speech went. "But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know — it was you, and the people who love you, who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

Swift's speech subliminally called attention to West claiming that he "made that b---h famous" in his hit song, a reference to his viral interruption of her VMAs acceptance speech from 2009 when she won over Beyoncé.

The "It Was You" commercial comes less than two weeks before the 2017 Grammys, which will air on Feb. 12 on CBS.
