Kanye West, Taylor Swift VMA 2009 Speech Disaster: Beyonce Saves the Day!

It’s the moment everyone is going to be talking about tomorrow: Kanye West rips the microphone out of Taylor Swifts hands while she’s giving her acceptance speech for Best Female Video of the Year and says “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”

BeyonceAs we reported earlier, Beyonce looked confused and embarrassed as Kanye stole the spotlight from the country songstress and made her leave the stage in tears. But, being the classy woman that she is, Beyonce came back and ended up saving the day for Ms. Swift.

Afer Beyonce was announced as the winner of Video of the Year, she graciously stood up to give her acceptance speech and started it off by saying she remembered when she won her first VMA award as part of Destiny’s Child when she was 17. She went on to say how it was an extremely important moment in her career. She then asked Taylor to come back on stage to have her moment in the spotlight and let Taylor give her speech instead of Beyonce giving hers.

A happy ending to what could have been a very disastrous night.

Oh, and according to MTV VMA officials, Kanye was given the boot from the show after his antics.

What do you think of Kanye West’s VMA appearance?

Kanye is an ass.  What would he benefit by standing up there and taking the spotlight away from a very talented young artisit.  There will be no Kanye music purchased or endorsed by this family.  And what a gracious woman Beyounce is.  Congrats to Taylor and Beyounce on their great accomplishment.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF TAYLOR SWIFT. I'M A HUGE FAN OF BEYONCE & I LIKE KANYE'S MUSIC. IT WAS WRONG FOR HIM TAKING TAYLOR'S MOMENT BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE WAS JUST SPEAKING HIS MIND LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. SO GET OVER IT & GET ON WITH YOUR LIVES, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, BEYONCE , YOU HAVE MUCH RESPECT & SHOWED TO BE A TRUE WOMAN BY LETTING TAYLOR HAVE HER MOMENT WHEN IT WAS REALLY MEANT FOR YOU.

There is nothing wrong with Kanyet speaking his mind.  However, there is a time and place for everything, and speaking his mind on stage during Taylor's acceptance speech was neither the time nor the place to do it.

I really think that Kanye West disrespected Taylor Swift.  I will say this, Beyonce is very good at her craft.  But, Taytlor Swift did an awesome job with her song and video.  Though Beyonce was real real good in the video ....she did not win.  It is about the judges and the viewers.  If she didn't win, hey she didn't win.  Luckily she did win another award.

I feel for Kanye bc now people are going to be all in his face.  But, he was wrong!!!!!!  I will say a prayer for that man.  He feels that he can do and say whatever he wants and not be called out on it, but that is not true :( ....too bad for Taylor.
