Kanye ambushes Taylor

This 32 year old jerk has just ruined a 19 year old country singer's precious moment at the MTV Video Music Awards held at the Radio Music City Hall.

First and foremost, the nominees for Best Female Video award were as follows:

Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) - Beyonce
You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
Poker Face - Lady GaGa
My Life Would Suck Without You - Kelly Clarkson
Hot n Cold - Katy Perry
So What - Pink

When Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video award and was delivering her acceptance speech, this bastard went and took over the mic from Taylor Swift and shouted these exact words:

"Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm going to let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!"




You'd see that Swift looked stunned and speechless. The cameras then panned to Beyonce, who was slightly mortified and embarrassed. The crowed then booed West off stage and the show immediately cut to commercial.

Eventually, when Beyonce won the Video Of The Year award by her "Single Ladies", she decided to give Taylor a surprise by letting her complete her interrupted thank you speech. As she went up to collect her prize, the 28-year-old singer said, “Thank you. I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

That was so thoughtful of her!

After the incident, when Taylor was being asked by reporters about the incident, she responded “Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

Then she talks about Beyonce's gesture: “They told me to stand by the side of the stage and I didn’t really know what was going to go down. But I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done. She’s always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she’s always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn’t love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight.”

Kanye apologized on his website, "I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers! I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment! Beyonce’s video was the best of this decade! I’m sorry to my fans if I let you guys down! I’m sorry to my friends at mtv. I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw.

It was a moment that made many of the artists present in the Awards pretty upset. "F**k u Kanye," Katy Perry tweeted while at the show. "It's like you stepped on a kitten.", where else Pink wrote, "Kanye West is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me." Kelly Clarkson called Kanye "a sad human being", whilst Adam Lambert wrote on his Twitter page, "Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain't that deep, man."

After this incident, I'd say that I love Beyonce more and more. A great artist, a great dancer, and she has a great heart. As for Kanye, there is no amount of apology that will repair the scene he caused in the VMA and the emotional damage done to a teenage country singer.

Yup, he should really reflect on his actions and behaviour.

Apparently, this is not the first time. He did stuff like that too in some other music award last year. I think he didn't win an award so he cannot accept defeat.
