  • Kanye Apologizes For Interrupting Taylor Swift At VMA's

    Kanye West has apologized to country singer Taylor Swift after the rapper/singer jumped on stage during her acceptance speech at the 2009 Video Music Awards last night (September 13).

    Swift won the MTV VMA for best female video for "You Belong With Me," besting Beyonce’s "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)."

    Kanye West felt Beyonce was meant to win the award and rushed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, interrupting her to proclaim Beyonce’s vide the “best of all-time,” leaving the young singer in tears.

    On his blog he said:

    I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. 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 CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY 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!!!!!

    Later in the show, Beyonce allowed Swift to finish her speech, after Beyonce took home Video of the Year.

    “Wow. This is amazing. I remember being 17-years -old being up for my first award with Destiny’s Child. And it was one of the most exciting moments of my life,” said Beyonce, who came up to accept the award for Video of the Year. So I would like to invite Taylor to come out and have her moment.”

    While the two hugged, the crowd gave a standing ovation as Swift finished her acceptance speech as she thanked her fans as well her little brother’s high school for letting her shoot the video for “You Belong to Me.”

    For the remainder of the show nearly every mention of Kanye incited a roar of boo's from the audience.

    There are also pictures floating around the web of Kanye drinking from a bottle of alcohol on the red carpet, which may have played a part in the rapper’s outburst.

    West was also removed from Radio City Music Hall after interrupting Swift.

    Many celebrities on Twitter reacted to Kanye's outburst and to Beyonce's kind gesture.

    Here are a few:

    Pop singer Pinks twitter: www.twitter.com/Pink: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me. " "Beyonce is a classy lady.I feel for her, too.Its not her fault at all, and her and Taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA."

    Singer Katy Perry http://twitter.com/katyperry: "F*CK U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN. There's a reason why Beyonce is my hero."

    Keri Hilson said. "YAAAAAY! Taylor got her moment!! "

    Basketball player Ron Artest: http://twitter.com/Real_Ron_Artest: "Kanye is the @ congjoewilson of the rap game."

    Basketball player Kevin Durant: http://twitter.com/KevinDurant35: "wow taylor swift won over beyonce and lady gaga???? congrats to her!! buuuuut kanye trippinnnnnnn, that was disrespectful"

    The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

    In addition to Swift and West’s situation, this year’s VMA’s featured a moving tribute to Michael Jackson.

    Janet Jackson concluded the tribute to her brother as dancers performed routines from videos to Michael Jackson hits such as “Thriller,” “Bad” and “Smooth Criminal” while each wearing a white glove on their right hand.

    Performers included Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys who closed the show, among others.
