Taylor Swift Shines, Kanye West Goes South at MTV Video Awards
Kanye West disrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Awards. Kanye lept on stage, grabbed the mic from Taylor, and proclamined, “"Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time ... one of the best videos of all time!” Kanye was booed off the stage and removed from the venue. Later in the show, Beyone won Video of the Year and, remembering what it was like being nominated for a VMA at age 17 with Destiny’s Child, she called Taylor back to the stage, saying “I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment.”
Kanye’s Apology To Taylor Swift “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!” “Beyoncé’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,” “Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I’m a fan of real pop culture!!! No disrespect but we watchin’ the show at the crib right now cause...well you know!!!! I’m still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!! You are very very talented!!! I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me...That’s what it is!!!!!!! I’m not crazy y’all, i’m just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I’m sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!!!” “I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.” Kayne on The Jay Leno Show The Night After the VMA Incident
