Congrats to Taylor Swift who won “best female video” at the MTV VMAs yesterday. Little did anyone know Kanye West would bum-rush her on the stage, grab the mic and add his two cents about Beyonce’s video just after Taylor began making her acceptance speech.
Did you watch the MTV Video Music Awards last night?
Beyonce being the total professional that she is, turned the mic over to Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for winning “video of the year.”
Seriously, who does Kanye think he is? You will see even Beyonce was
astonished by his actions in the video. Apparently Kanye apologized to
Taylor via his blog, but my opinion is — too little, too late Kanye. Rumor
has it the apology disappeared as of this morning. What ev!
Did you watch the VMAs? What did you think?

Kanye West is an ass. It has to be all about him all. the. time. or he’s not having it. I hate how he’s trying to act like he nobly tried to uphold Beyonce (on his blog he said her video was the best video of the decade…whatever)–it wasn’t about Beyonce, it was about putting his name out there once again, and he knew he could get away with it when Taylor was up there. (I would’ve slapped the sh*t out of him, but I digress.) I’m glad the audience booed. As I told my friend last nite, Kanye West: Setting Black people back since 2004.
I’m so glad Beyonce did what she did – shows true class in my opinion. If any good comes out of this it will be for Taylor. I never listened to her before but I plan on tuning in and checking her out now.
I didn’t watch the awards, but I’ve watched those “moments” on every news show today. Kanye’s such a jerk. (I’ll never forget the look on Mike Myers’ face as he stood next to him during his Hurricane Katrina,”Bush hates blacks” speech.) KW is supposed to be on Jay Leno’s new show tonight. If Jay is smart, he’ll have Taylor come on and pound Kanye over the head or something.
If he’d really wanted to give props to Beyonce, he could have done it during HER acceptance speech!!!!
Besides, she DID win “best video” didn’t she? Isn’t that “best video overall” as opposed to “best female video”…meaning she beat out the men too?
Didn’t he do this one other time at another awards show? He got up and said he should have won. I don’t remember which awards though.
Crude, they shouldn’t let him in anymore. There’s nothing he could do to make up for what he did to her.
Pretty disgusting in my mind. Most reports say he was openly drinking from a cognac bottle. Very classy.
He is on Jay Leno tonight. He apparently apologized. He also said “West said he knew he’d erred “as soon as I gave the mic back to her and she didn’t keep going.”
What the hell did he expect her to do? I think I read where Taylor Swift will be on the view tomorrow.
Taylor was on the View this morning and said she hasn’t heard from him . He really should apologize to her personally. What a lack of class.
Beyonce showed true class. That was a goosebump moment.
You know what I would have done if I were her? I’d have found an opportunity to rickroll him. LOL
Ok , what does rickroll mean? I haven’t heard that before.
Is this really your first time, Pam?
Yes. Never heard of it until now. But after reading and watching that video I would have rather have been “duckrolled.”
HAHA, that was my first time for a rickroll. I have never heard of that.
Never heard of it (though that video came out before I was born), but I watched it and still don’t get it…what’s “rickrolled”?
I love Taylor Swift. I have tickets to her concert in a few weeks and am SO excited. She is a sweet and gracious girl who was upset at not getting the chance to thank her fans. Kanya is a jerk who was just trying to get some attention. It’s sad that he acted that way, but Taylor had tons of support from the other artists and fans. Oh, and Beyonce is a class act! I love how she responded.
Rickrolling is awesome. Nicely played, Ann
!! Haha!
“Rickrolled” is an Internet meme. Someone sends you a link and you click on it. The link is disguised to take you to something relevant to whatever the topic is, but instead sends you to the Rick Astley video of “Never Gonna Give You Up.” I have no idea where it started, but it’s an online joke that has been around for a few years.
My link above to the video is actually relevant, so it’s not a proper “rickroll.” And, as Jasmin proved, it’s not all that funny if the reader has no clue what the joke is…it’s not very self-evident.
Someone “rickrolled” the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade too- so there have been “real life” rickrolls- although that one wasn’t “real” as it was clearly PLANNED as part of the parade. *laughs*
Did anyone hear that President Obama called Kanye West a jackass?
I think his approval ratings must have gone up!
LOL, now that it’s been explained (and with the help of Wikipedia), I find it kind of hilarious. I’m about to rickroll my friend now.
I’m beginning to think Kanye is actually kind of disturbed. Even if he was drunk, his narcissism seems to go beyond “normal” bounds. I used to think he just did this stuff to get attention, but this latest stunt is beyond the pale. If it is for attention, it’s still strange behavior, IMO – like a child that can’t distinguish between positive and negative attention, and just acts out heedlessly.
I totally agree Jennie. Even his Leno apology was garbage bc he didn’t apologize to Taylor personally in any way until she called him on it via The View. It’s like even the Leno apology was for attention/damage control.
