Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift's Speech at MTV VMA's

Kanye West has officially lost it! While at the 2009 MTV VMA's Kanye rudely interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for 'Best Female Video' by grabbing the mic from her and acknowledging Beyonce instead.

Beyonce was up against Taylor and lost, which clearly angered Kanye.

Kanye grabbed the mic from Taylor and said, "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...one of the best of all time!"

The audience then booed him until MTV cut to a clip. Unbelievable! You would think a 32-year-old man would know better than to insult a 19 year-old girl, but Kanye clearly doesn't.

According to MTV.com, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat.

Check out the clip of the incident below...

what a dum nigger just like them to be rude like that

4:12PM 10/04/09 Roxxi1199119

Okay really it's not the fact that Taylor won that award because she is white, she won because she got more votes then Beyonce` But honestly Beyonce` got the better award so I don't know what the big deal is! On the other hand, Kanye is a cocky bitch!! I don't know how you could even stand him!

2:04PM 10/03/09 bd555

oh and no blacks arent 2nd to the white man. everyone is equal but whitepower if you dont like it...you could always just end your life...and so you wouldnt have to worry about who's what.

2:00PM 10/03/09 bd555

ok this is for whiteboy, whitepower, and ilexie. ok first of all how about ya'll shut the fuck up? you say you got class and all this well if you " have class" then you wouldnt be on here talkin shit. and no kanye and taylor was not a racist thing he wanted to impress beyonce and he thought that him doing that would. and he must have been drunk but as you can see a lot of black people took taylor's side so you cant say it's blacks vs whites. and if you actually think that it is..then wow you must have like some serious mental problem. whitepower and whiteboy it really seem like ya'll do. lexie is just a racistbitch no guy would probably want her. so since ya'll " have class" maybe before you lie to yourself saying that you might want to like think about what you do. i'm justtelling you the truth hope this dont offend you...well actually i cant lie..i hope this does offend you anyways it's your faultfor being stupid in the first place. ya'll picking on andadou. and meggie i agree with you in some points but there are some that i dont agree with. well anyways you tried to keep the peace so i respect that.

2:35PM 09/25/09 ZacOfficial

hahahhahahhah thats so funny

10:34PM 09/19/09 whitepower

Id like to take my rifle and shoot that nigger right between the eyes. White people are letting these niggers take over " I think beyonce is better than this dumb white" BAMMM!!!!nigger brains everywhere. taylor needs a boyfriend who would slap that dumb monkey. true niggers are great entertainment but they need to respect the fact that they are second place to the WHITE MAN.

3:28PM 09/17/09 ZacOfficial

i agree with wildfyah he didnt want to getin bitched at by her so he did it for her i feel really bad for taylor she diserves it

3:23PM 09/17/09 ZacOfficial

dude i love talyor and if you diss her you diss me and thats not cool i lost my repect for kanye west :(

8:23PM 09/16/09 iLexiee

What a nigger move. Taylor deserved it very much and shes a great singer. Fuck that nigger

1:49PM 09/16/09 archer1203

Kanye West is a Racist, Ghetto Trash, Piece of Shit, Cuntbag

10:25AM 09/16/09 andoudou

Kanye West was rude to interrupt the girl and he apologized so leave him the fuck alone, you guys will do a better job opining on the policies that aren't effective instead of talking about Kanye. For jubilenee I don't know who the fuck you are I'm glad you could recognize that i have a lot of chemicals in my brain ,because for tou to notice that you must have even more than i do

8:48PM 09/15/09 wildfyah

to be honest did u guys really expect any different from kanye. geeze everyone knows hes an arrogant, egotistic, selfcentred, douchebag already. i think beyonce woulda probably bitched about her loss all the way home in her limo so kanye did it for her XD anyway he needed slapping off the stage cuz that was just plain rude and disrespectful.

8:38PM 09/14/09 best04

what i dont understand is why kanye weak ass is even famous..... he sings/ raps about a bunch of bullshit. he talks about jesus walking and yet he hates on someone else pretty godly way to walk...

8:35PM 09/14/09 best04

kanye's music does suck but i dont think swift shouldve won the award' her music is fukn horrible

2:06PM 09/14/09 LongIslandMa

So immature!

0:32PM 09/14/09 SUMORyA14

Kanye west is just being Kanye but really Beyonce did deserve it;; but that hurt Taylor's feelings so he should apologize.

11:24AM 09/14/09 jubenilee

Andoudou, how in the fuck can you you sleep at night, your brain is so chemically unbalanced it just makes me wonder where fuckheads like you come from. Kanye West is nothing. His music absolutely blows and he is obviously a racist piece of shit. Its got nothing to do with black or white. We are all the same on the inside, physically anyway, but how people can think what Kanye did was right baffles me. If I was there I would have floored the loser.

11:11AM 09/14/09 jubenilee

self obsessed piece of shit, low life, did your mother not tell you Kanye, if you have nothing good to say, SHUT YOUR STUPID ASS MOUTH you fucking loser

11:06AM 09/14/09 Kevinlisa

Pretty crappy way for him to get attention! If he had talent he wouldn't have to steal the spotlight from the person who actually won the award.

10:09AM 09/14/09 Tameeky

...I Totally Agree w/u all...He is Officially the Biggest Ass ever and a Discrace to the Music World...So Rude of Him!!!!

9:48AM 09/14/09 girly987

scum of the earth.

9:25AM 09/14/09 dana87unt

Race does indeed have something to do with why Kanye acted a damn fool( he probably did feel like Beyonce deserved it and that may have been due to race) but the person who implied this is a black/white issue is a moron because if you go to many black blog sites African Americans are ridiculing Kanye for this one as they should so I'm saying people shouldn't make comments about Kanye making blacks look bad. He is on his own in this one...

9:22AM 09/14/09 volar

he was really rude

9:16AM 09/14/09 Scottitude

Con-yay is a punk-ass bitch whose fifteen minutes are up. Next time that other punk-ass bitch Chris Brown wants to beat up a girl he should smack up his Con-yay bitch.

8:57AM 09/14/09 Nivcharah

I agree with CoastalMom. Let's BAN Kanye - the douchebag.

8:33AM 09/14/09 coastalmom

Wow! I just watched this and poor Beyonce. How embarrassing for her! I am sure she lost all respect for that loser. I hope we all STOP buying anything he has his name on! He ruined a great first for Taylor. He can apologize all he wants the damage is done. The memory will always be marred because of him. People go to jail because they steal but he stole her moment and gets nothing! And no one can do a thing about it? Sure we can!!! STOP spending money on his so called music!

7:47AM 09/14/09 andoudou

All of you deal with kanye alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!He was a dumbass to trash taylor like that.So he apologized and she cool with it so all of u shut the hell up.

7:16AM 09/14/09 CAmbiguous

OMG!! Taylor Swift Planned It All. www.concretelyambiguous.com/todays-truth/taylor-swift-planned-it-all/

5:47AM 09/14/09 AliceV

What a major asshole. why do they even let him in the door anymore?

5:38AM 09/14/09 scarface

FUCK Taylor Swift

5:31AM 09/14/09 okruhlica

First off anyone thinking this isn't racial is a damn fool. Why else do you think he was crying like a Bi**h cause a black woman didn't win. He is a racist peice of crap and an immature basturd at that. Anyone buys his garbage is the same. He's a whinny ass, crying, complaining, punkass, racist little bitch.

3:39AM 09/14/09 LaLa06

Oh and another thing its really sad to see people turning this into a race issue instead of putting it in the context an individual being rude to another individual

3:36AM 09/14/09 LaLa06

This it to WHITE BOY. You are so rude and disrespectful. Yes indeed what Kanye did was very rude and tacky but that is no reason to judge all african americans. What if we went around judging whites based on the facts that you guys go around shooting up school for no reason.That would be a little ignorant don't you think. It seems to me that you have some racial issues that you need to handle...

1:28AM 09/14/09 musiccityent

Kanye needs professional help and a SPANKING! His head is too big for this business...and he has trashy manners. Who let him in the door to this industry?!

0:42AM 09/14/09 StarryEyes87

hes such a DOUCHHHHHHHE I lost respect in this idiot! I love Taylor and she deserved it!

0:12AM 09/14/09 kuoppala

oh and one more thing... f!@#$ kanye west! anyone who commissions a repaint of the last supper with himself in place of jesus obviously suffers from delusions of grandeur. nuf said!

0:07AM 09/14/09 kuoppala

everyone so far has had interesting things to say on this subject and although most of the opinions have come from different stand points, every one, for the most part, has agreed that kanye has acted most intolerably in this matter. that is except for anboubou who does not deserve a rebuttal because this person is obviously made up to generate more sympathy for the situation. look at the point scale for this site. 49 for signing up 1 for commenting and 5 for simply logging in. anboubou has 55 points and is not real. also it pains me to think that anyone that retarded has access to the web.

11:29PM 09/13/09 cRaZyBoNNiE

WOW..WHAT A Di**

11:12PM 09/13/09 taramoon

Congrats to Taylor on her first VMA award!! Too bad that crakhead kayne west had to ruin it for her..He is a talentless, uneducated loser,and since his 15min. of fame are gone now he is trying to get attention any way he can.Soon no one will remember him anyways, and Taylor will be succesful for years to come. GO TAYLOR !!

11:09PM 09/13/09 LilMama09

Okay so yeah, Beyonce is a very nice looking, talented woman. & her video was amazing. But Taylor deserved that award. Look at how far she has come. She has a very outgoing voice and she very beautiful. So is Beyonce. But point being, Kanye had NO right to do that. He must have been drunk!

10:52PM 09/13/09 jtphoenixga

Well all of you do realize that this is happening in CELEBRITY-VILLE. Celebrities act this way all the time. Today Kanye did something stupid, tomorrow someone else will do something else. They are celebrities, they believe they are above it all. Just let it go and over look them like most people do. Celebrities don't live in the real world like the rest of us do. So I don't know why everyone is taking this seriously.

10:48PM 09/13/09 cavepiggy

So he grabs the mic from a teen girl and goes on a tangent about the loser's video then when he is called out for his obvious rude behavior he flips off the music buying public?I suggest we the music buying public flip off this jerk by NOT buying anything he ever makes again.The only way we can get respect from these pampered spoiled rotten musicians is to insult them and hit them where it hurts most,the wallet.It is time that some of these jerks realize that without your fans you are nothing. I'm a musician myself and have been for over 25 years I would do almost anything to make the money this guy does and to have the fan base too.

10:32PM 09/13/09 dana87unt

I'm an African American myself and I thought what Kanye West did was incredibly inappropriate and unacceptable and I know a lot of people feel that way. What goes around comes around ...it's that simple. Whether someone agrees if she deserves the award is irrelevant because she won it and this was her moment. It should have been about her. Race has absolutely NOTHINg to do with it. Besides the people saying Taylor doesn't deserve the award probably don't realize that Taylor's "Fearless" album outsold Beyonce's "I Am Sasha Fierce" album so it's not surprising that Taylor won.

10:12PM 09/13/09 mislovely310

hahah...that was funny as hell....thats hollyhood for you though, and Kanye West is just living each day like his last. if it wasn't a prop, then Kanye is just showing the true rock star that lives within...Taylor don't take it to the heart baby, your the one who was shining on the stage no matter what went down.

9:56PM 09/13/09 TheWhiteBoy

ha meggie, that I understand... but US whites keep that on a lower level! we all are at fault for it but they do it for attention at a higher level~!

9:43PM 09/13/09 meggie258

Andoudou is obviously undereducated and a racist, HOWEVER- turning it around and talking about how all blacks think this way and ALL whites have class- makes you just as racist WHITEBOY. You're making us all look bad by making such a statement. Don't generalize so much. Would you like to be the pot or the kettle??? because they're both black... not all black people think a certain way, and I know plenty of WHITE trash.

9:43PM 09/13/09 lovejunior08

you know what kanye west is nothing. hes just a rude peace of shit. his music sucks...it all sounds the same. fuck that bitch you ASS hole. Taylor Swift is way better than your dumbass and her video was so much better than some stupid bitch dancing doing the same moves. fuck your self kanye. you only said that because your both black. and if you assholes dont agree with i dont give a fuck so dont write your dumb shit back saying hes not and you like because YOU can FUCK YOUR SELF TOO!!! I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT! YOU GO GIRL YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!

9:39PM 09/13/09 meggie258

I thought Beyonce looked embarrassed. I wouldn't judge her based off of Kanye's statement. It's not her fault he apparently thinks she's the best thing to ever grace a music video. I actually felt bad for her because he could have potentially made her look really bad if it weren't for her overt astonishment over what he said.

9:39PM 09/13/09 chaser704

what a waste of space. I hope next time he wins a award someone goes up there and ruins it for him. Hes classless, and black people all over the world should be hating him more than anyone else because its black people like him that makes u guys look bad. It doesnt matter how they try to put it, he pulled the race card and looked like a idiot. I agree he should be banned for life from this event. Poor taylor swift having her moment and he ruins it. I wish someone would of jumped up and decked his weak ass. WP

9:34PM 09/13/09 Libbiey

Ahaha, I don't like Kanye but i like Taylor Swift even less so basically this is just hilarious to me.

9:31PM 09/13/09 Eboe

Asshole. Seriously, he should be falcon punched.

9:29PM 09/13/09 TheWhiteBoy

Its is funny how the BLACK man can pull this off.. thats ok right?? if that was beyonce up there and that happened to her would have been another story, would have had Jessie Jackson on tv in the morning(like he always does) and for you ANDOUDOU Get a fucking life, just because you are black doesnt mean shit... you all think you deserve everything and when it goes to the whites the race card is pulled! we dont do that we have class~! you all have a long long way to go...

9:25PM 09/13/09 suepastarr

What a total jerk, who lacks any kind of class! I used to like Kanye back in the day, but now I'm totally sick of him. He's lucky he didn't get hit upside the head with one of the awards. Andoudou, only uneductated pieces of steamy crap would support Kanye and his behavior. However, I understand because you can't spell or form complete sentences.

9:24PM 09/13/09 PookieBD

Kayne is a fuking c^nt.

9:14PM 09/13/09 sugarbumm

Kanye West is a piece of shit... a bully to young girls. Beyonce is the one with the class and let Taylor have her moment. He should be banned from the VMA's

8:45PM 09/13/09 haleighg

This should have been a class event honoring Michael Jackson, Kanye turned it into something racist and ugly. I hope someone high up reprimands him for his racist behavior.

8:44PM 09/13/09 haleighg

Kanye West is a bonafide cheese dick.

8:43PM 09/13/09 fyren

honestly bound to happen i mean what is the most common element in rap a complete disregard for others

8:42PM 09/13/09 jspgarcia12

Kanye West won an award. The Biggest Douche Bag Award!!!

8:42PM 09/13/09 anonymous666

andoudou, your fucking stupid, and learn how to spell. you sound like the guy who works at a 7-11 by me. dumbass

8:41PM 09/13/09 haleighg

Taylor Swift is not only a talented young 19 year old, but a wonderful role model. It is refreshing to see a sweet young lady not up on stage shaking everything and anything while wearing hardly nothing. Maybe Kanye and Beyonce need to both take a lesson on class from the skinny young white girl. I certainly will buy her music for my grand daughter but not Kanye or Beyonces. Kanye should be absolutely ashamed of himself, I bet his mom is rolling in her grave. He should never be allowed to any awards program as disciplinary action.

8:39PM 09/13/09 meggie258

Kanye really is a racist. I've thought that ever since he made the statement that "George Bush hates black people". Seriously, I think George W. Bush is a corporate criminal so it's not like I'm backing him up...but Kanye could have thought it through a little more before he made such a blanket, and frankly, stupid statement. Tonight he really topped himself on stupid things to say. Atleast George W. Bush deserves whatever is thrown at him. But how are you going to steal a 19 year old girls thunder who is graciously accepting an award? That was a moment for her and he had to ruin it by grabbing the mic and inserting his solicited opinion. No one asked what you thought Kanye. You kind of suck at life. Go read a book.

8:34PM 09/13/09 tc005

its official: KANYE WEST IS A BITCH !!

8:33PM 09/13/09 Ishee

Kanye is a Douche bag!!

8:33PM 09/13/09 callmeh8r

hey andoudou: You ignorant ass. They were clearly booing that drunken, nappy-headed, egotistical little bitch you call "brave". Yeah, he's got some real balls taking the mic from a skinny little teenage girl. What a little bitch. And hey, while we're celebrating arrogant celebs being A-list a-holes, let's go kiss OJ's ass too because I'm sure you probably think he's innocent. Wayta show the world how stupid you really are. Now go beat your chest somewhere else.

8:33PM 09/13/09 LyndsLOVE13

What Kanye did was messed up and unreasonable. & taylor swift did not win because a bunch of us "white people" started voting for her. I am not racist at all. taylor swift is just a good girl, who is doing really good with her career. he had no right to stand up there and say what he said. he made himself look like an idiot and that's all there is to it. if any of you have a problem with what i say, suck it up. also remember im a fourteen year old girl and a freshmen in highschool, so don't make yourself sound like an idiot, quite like kanye did tonight :) i think this proves he is racist. :) everyone haveee a goood night!

8:28PM 09/13/09 tc005

andoudou baby girl you need to learn how to speak proper english and maybe consider taking some writing classes. Just because you and Kanye's bitch ass think Beyonce is a better artist than Taylor it doesn't give him the right to go up there and do what he did. Thats called disrespect, something you should learn about. Kanye is a whiny little rich hoe who needs to get the shit knocked out of him so he can learn some manners. In a few years he wont even matter anyways, you can "bet that up".

8:27PM 09/13/09 mbianca

Kanye was such an asshole ... that just shows that he is racist. Its all about what the public thinks. He should have just kept the comment to him self and not make himself look real stupid and then get booed off stage.

8:25PM 09/13/09 aj8821

Kanye has always had an overinflated notion of who he is. Tonight he proved what a jerk he is and totally without class. On the other hand, kudos to Beyonce for showing what a classy person she is.

8:24PM 09/13/09 wtfjazzzzzzy

Really... Taylor is a kid. Kanye is an adault. howzz about he acts like one and puts his immiturity aside

8:23PM 09/13/09 bsmith102

this isn't a matter of opinion. taylor won & that was her award. both ladies are professional and both deserved there awards.

8:22PM 09/13/09 meggie258

and what a retarded, thoughtless theory. They let the white girl win to make her feel good? This is 2009... MTV OBVIOUSLY isn't hating on black people, or favoring whites. Just an example of Kanye fans being as ignorant as he is...

8:21PM 09/13/09 edsgirl320

Wow. So typical of someone so iggnorant to bring race into this. Feel bad for the "white girl". Wow haha I feel bad for you. It is people such as you who make race an issue, but then pull the race card. Besides that point, I love Taylor and Beyonce, besides Beyonce won video of the year ( they must feel even worse for the "poor black girl" right, cuz she won the better award) haha

8:21PM 09/13/09 bsmith102

Kayne is RUDE & self centered. Taylor won that fair and it wasn't her fault that her fans voted for her. It was her moment, thankfully beyonce even realized that Kanye was way out of line! I have no respect for Kanye after that.

8:20PM 09/13/09 meggie258

seriously, it is not about whether you think Beyonce is better than Taylor. I agree, she is better. But what we're talking about here is that Kanye is a little punk ass and that was the ultimate dick move. NO respect. But all he did was make himself look like an ass. Even Beyonce looked embarrassed that he was acting a FOOL like that. I love Kanye as an artist, but as a person, I think he is overly arrogant, IGNORANT and has NO class whatsoever. It's hard to appreciate someone who has gotten in front of an audience and made himself look like an ass.

8:12PM 09/13/09 andoudou

i watched it i did not hear any boo at Kanye n he is right Beyonce won it but as in uss they want the white girl to feel good they award it to her. so i hope she feel better even kanye dissed her. putting that wack girl in front a diva a let her win if i'm a hater 4 that sure I am she wacks i don't even see why they even comparing her to Beyonce.I loved Kanye now I adore him He is very brave.

8:07PM 09/13/09 countryangel

I just have one questions for Kanye West... "Do you like fish sticks?"

7:52PM 09/13/09 vbrock

No respect....will never buy anything this man makes. Tasteless....

7:48PM 09/13/09 scottyurbs

"How could you be so heartless?"

7:38PM 09/13/09 lilerica

that was a bitch move i lost the respect i had for kanye tonight
