Kayne West delivered an outburst in the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at the expense of country and pop sweethear, Taylor Swift.
If you can recall, West flipped out after losing the VMAs, the Grammy, the American Music Awards and more from way back. This time, his complain was on Beyonce’s behalf because the wrong person had been awarded a trophy.
Beyonce was nominated for best female video for “Single Ladies” but was bested by Swift. The 19-year-old best selling artist of year outside of Michael Jackson was giddy when she won for her clip, “You Belong With Me”. She said, “I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen.”
But West ruined her moment when he jumped on stage.
“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo West.
