Everyone is talking about Kanye West's outburst during Taylor Swifts VMA speech for Best Female Video of the Year during last night's show and it doesn't seem like people will be done talking for a while. Just hours after the VMAs aired, video of Kanye West ruining Taylor Swift's speech hit the Internet and we have it all below!
While Kanye's rude and unneccesary ambush of Taylor Swifts speech (if you haven't heard about it, click here and here) was enough to make anyone furious, his apology was as much of an embarassment as his actions. Here's what Kanye had to say to Taylor for ruining one of the biggest moments of her life:
“I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom [Andrea]," Kanye wrote on his blog. 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!…………….. Beyonce’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 cribe right now cause…. Well you know!!!! I’m still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaawww!!!! You are very talented!!!!! I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me… That’s what it is!!!! I’m not crazy yall, I’m just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I’m sincerely sorry!!! Much Respect!!!!!”
Now that's a half-assed apology if I ever heard one. And, here's a piece of advice Kanye: A true apology doesn't include defending your actions and reiterrating what you're apologizing for in the first place. If it's not wholehearted then don't bother writing it.
As most of you now know, Beyonce - the classy and repsectful woman that she is - let Taylor have her moment after she was honored with the Video of the Year award. You can watch Kanye ambush Taylor here.
Do you think Kanye was out of line?
