Kanye Being Kanye: Rapper Interrupts Taylor Swift's VMAs Win

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 13th 2009 09:33PM

Kanye West is known for speaking his mind and early on during the VMAs, he didn't disappoint.

When Taylor Swift won Best Female Video for 'You Belong With Me,' Kanye jumped onstage, grabbed the mike from the country singer's hands and did what he does best.

"Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm a [sic] let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he yelled, to many boos. Swift had beat Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' for the award. And according to an MTV source, Kanye is getting booted from the show for his actions. Watch It Happen

When the camera panned to the 'Ladies' hitmaker, Jay-Z's wife looked visibly mortified. Meanwhile, Swift stood silently on the stage.

To make matters worse, Swift had to perform the song shortly after Kanye's outburst.

Later on in the show, 'Single Ladies' was named Best Video of the Year, and when Beyonce accepted the award, she called Taylor on stage.

"I'd like for Taylor to come out and have her moment," she told the audience, allowing Swift to give her speech.

"Maybe we could try this again?" Taylor asked, and proceeded to give many thanks.

This is so true, there is a difference between being ignorant and being just plain stupid. Kanye always have to have the center of attention. Yes Beyonce should have won. But, she's had her moments, cant win em all the time. His mother would be ashamed if she would have lived to see this. Dude! use the manners i am sure that your mother left u.

IDIOT is all I can say!

Kayne West is a the biggest piece of sh*t ever!!!! He is a grown man and what he did is just classless. I hope people boycott him and everything he stands for. He is also a racist.

By maria

and this is why awards shows are soooooo done.

By john

Music is great, films are great. Entertainment is an artFORM, not a way of life. We all should should learn to stop being fans/groupies of these people and they will come back to reality. It also makes the average person seem stupid for doing so.

By Melissa

What an a$$. Why do people even listen to him. Taylor is great and deserved to win.

By bob ducasse

west should go SOUTH. This is not the first time he made an a-hole of himself.
his ego is bigger that his glasses.

By my2cents

Thanks, but we don't need him in the south. He is a racists in the worst sense of the word.

no I'm white, but intelligent. There are jerks of every color, but obviously you're a bigoted white person with a prejudice that you love to pull out at the littlest possible opportunity. Your true colors - all of yours - are pretty close to the surface, I'd say. you guys have got nerve to call anybody else racist, and i'm not defending kanye west.

By becki smith

What an idiot. Glad the VMA's had the class and guts to kick his ass out of there!
