Taylor Swift picked up her first Moonman for Best Female Video for “You Belong To Me” at Sunday night’s ceremony but didn’t have the chance to finish her acceptance speech, thanks to the Grammy-winning egomaniac, who took the stage to interrupt her and praise pal Beyonce, who was nominated for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”


“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m [going to] let you finish — but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” Kanye said to hearty booing from the crowd.

Kanye — who was asked to leave the awards show by MTV after his outburst — issued an apology on his blog late Sunday.

“I’m sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom,” he wrote on his blog. “I’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!”

However, Kanye stand by his thoughts on Beyonce’s video.

“Beyonce’s video was the best of this decade!!!!… Everybody wanna boooo me but I’m a fan of real pop culture!!! …I’m still happy for Taylor!!!!” he added. “I’m not crazy yall, I’m just real. Sorry for that!!! I feel really bad for Taylor and I’m sincerely sorry!!!”

    YEAH F*CK YOU KANYE, you starve for attention (attention whore) thats why once again you tried to steal the stage. It was taylor first award and well deserved you should have let her finish. Your an artist but the only way you demonstrate to voice your opinion is rude and disrespectfully.B’s Ego is to big she dont need you up there reffin whos better.You definetly need to stick to music videos dont do it live someone needs to fix your mistakes like who the hell cares what you think go blog about it your interuption was about as ugly as your hair cut. And as wild as the outfit your arm candy was wearing .BIG MISTAKE.

    Taylor, your video was hot dont let kanye tell you any different it wasnt up to him it was up to us and gurl you killed it. But heres some smarter advice from Kanye curtesy of one of his latest song ego.
    “Dont let the dream killers kill your self esteem, just use their arrogance as a steam to power your dreams., and your ego.”

    Now if youll excuse me I have to go delete kanye’s songs off my playlist.

    Yea kanye is a total d*** for doing that. that was taylors moment and he had no right to do that i dont give a shit what yall think even if it is a free country. taylors music video is amazing. beyonce’s is also amazing. watch the video and look at the expression on beyonce’s face she was like WTF? and poor taylors expression made me want to cry. im glad they gave taylor a standing ovation, she deserved it. and as far as taylor vs kanye in music…at least taylors lyrics make some damn since. take it as it is.

    I cant believe how ignorant some of you are. Being real , what the fuck does that have to do with anything. That was her moment, and he stoled that away from her. Yes in my opinion beyonce does have the best videos but that little girl won. He is very (excuse my language) niggerish. Just plain ignorant. And this is coming from someone who complained crying that he didnt win a award in the past. I know his mother taught that lil boy better than that. He dress like he’s classy but has no class. That lil fucker really starting to make me sick. Taylor swift, even though I love r & b and hip hop, I really like your song. Congratulations honey. All black people are not ignorant. Kanye needs to learn that whatever God blessed him with can surely take away. That twisted face faggot can lose everything tomorrow. Theres nothing wrong with speaking your mind but damn. My eyes teared up for her, I felt so bad.

    As usual, America is making a big fucking deal over nothing. Fuck Taylor Swift, she sounds like a dying cat anyways. Yes, Kanye shouldn’t have interrupted her, but he was just being real. So all the haters saying fuck kanye, fuck you!

    There are unspoken rules in society. One of them would be… you don’t go on stage when someone is accepting an award. Unless you somehow feel that the rules of society don’t apply to you. That is where Cunyeah is at in his downward spiral. Surrounded by people that can only say yes to the boss… one begins to feel as though they are God-like. Then they overdose and get lots of attention…

    First of all what kanye did was indeed classless! I also can’t help but feel sorry for the complete ignorance of Tyrone, who is obviously held down by the white man. GET OVER your race issue! People like you are the reason hate, and racisim still exsist! The VMA’s aren’t about black or white music, Taylor swift is a country singer explain to me how the “niggaz” need to take back her kind of music!? Tyrone you are a complete and utter moron!

    It sounds like his apology was not sincere. I’m sure his label and Mgt. told him to apologize to save his career.

    I have to say yes it was a very poor move on his part. BUT… Yes I said BUT he was man ebough to apoligize. He has been mourning the loss of his mother and we all mourn in different ways. I have lost a parent and I know sometimes you just cant control your emotions and actions. I am sorry that Taylor was hurt, but I believe that it was all corrected by Beyonce and Kayne as well.

    I think that when we can become so outraged because one singer insulted a teenager during a video award show but we are not as outraged when the President of the US is disrespected we are lost. This country has no priorities. I could care less about Taylor and Kanye.
