Kanye West Crashes VMA Stage

Kanye West Storms the VMAs Stage During Taylor Swift’s Speech

9/13/09, 10:12 pm EST


Leave it to Kanye West to produce one of the most infamous moments in VMAs history before the 2009 show was even an hour old. It happened after Taylor Swift’s victory in the Best Female Video category for “You Belong To Me,” which beat out Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” Just moments after Swift accepted the Moonman and began her acceptance speech, Kanye West stormed the stage, taking the microphone from Swift to announce Beyoncé deserved the award.

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!,” Kanye shouted to a mortified Swift and the speechless audience. And as quickly as he ran onstage — MTV cut away to show Pink, and when they flashed back to Swift, West already had the mic in his hand — he was off, leaving a shocked Swift in his wake.

Everyone at the Radio City Music Hall looked stunned, as the cameras captured an astonished and horrified Beyoncé still in her seat. Soon after, the audience gave a standing ovation in support of Swift. To add insult to injury, after Kanye handed the microphone back to Swift, her time was up, and MTV cut to a video featuring Tracy Morgan and Eminem.

According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye’s outburst, making it convenient that her performance of “You Belong to Me,” which immediately followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded. Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, “You can’t fault a man for speaking his mind,” which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd. According to our sources inside Radio City, Kanye was promptly tossed from the VMAs after interrupting Swift’s speech.

what is it with black men picking on young white women? jamie fox tried the same shit on miley cyrus saying she should make a sextape or some crap. they are a pair of knuckle draggers that should've been left if whatever jungle they were rescued from.

Just saw this chump on Leno. He made himself look like even more of an ass by not having a good response. He just sat there and mumbled for about 5 minutes. Then he got up, and did this thing that now days is called "singing". It was unbearable.

whats not been mentioned is how by doing this the clown upstaged not only the girl but also the michael jackson tribute.

Taylor Swift writes her own material as does Avril Lavigne. Beyonce claims co-writing credits for her songs, but there is a question mark about what she contributes. Miley Cyrus, I agree with you about.

This is true. And Miley Cyrus is a Disney tool, not a human being. Also, not attractive at all.
