Waxman Staff Writer Mar 30, 2015 3:02 PM UTC At the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, Justin Timberlake mocked the way Taylor Swift freaks out at awards shows. When her song “Blank Space” cinched the award for “Best Lyrics,” Timberlake mimed losing his cool and walked toward the stage, pretending to accept the award for her. She played along, and a viewer captured the whole act on Vine: This time, however, such outbursts could be considered understandable given that she won several top awards, such as Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for “Shake It Off.” (h/t [_Cosmopolitan_](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/music/news/a38393/justin-timberlake-does-the-best-impression-of-taylor-swifts-awards-show-freak-outs/)) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3763229/justin-timberlake-taylor-swift-iheartradio-awards-2015-vine/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3763229/justin-timberlake-taylor-swift-iheartradio-awards-2015-vine/"},"headline":"Watch Justin Timberlake Mock Taylor Swift's Reaction to Winning Awards","datePublished":"2015-03-30T15:02:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:10.371Z","description":"He did what all of us were thinking on our couches","url":"https://time.com/3763229/justin-timberlake-taylor-swift-iheartradio-awards-2015-vine/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta01f78719c8b7bb9/698785c0cd6848bad109a5f9/468071450.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
