Did you see the VMA’s? If you didn’t, here is what you missed! Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video of the Year Award Sunday night. However, during her acceptance speech, Kanye West approached Taylor Swift, interrupted her, and spoke out against her triumph. He lashed out against Taylor, claiming that Beyonce ‘one of the best videos of all time’ this year and that the award was rightfully hers. Kanye handed back the microphone to Taylor and left the stage leaving the crowd booing Kanye’s disposition and leaving Taylor Swift speechless and humiliated. Shortly thereafter, President Barack Obama issued what was suppose to be an off the record statement condemning West and stating ‘he is a jackass’. I agree with the president whole heartedly!
Has this changed your opinion about Kanye West?
Mine has! Kanye West use to be a very big teen pop star. He hosted the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards and grew quite famous among the younger population. But has recently been taking a down hill slide. He needs time off to rethink is pop star icon.
The day after the VMA’s he aired on the new Jay Leno show. You would think he suffered enough humiliation Sunday night, but, when Jay popped the question “what would your mom say about the way you acted?” it left Kanye speechless for what seemed like an eternity. Kanye was a mess! And he should have been. He would have been smart to just not show up in the first place. He ruined a 19 year olds moment of fame and on live television.
For me, the whole incident sort of ruined the VMA’s for me, at least for a little while. I did feel that the best part of the night was when Beyonce won her award and then, gave her time to let Taylor Swift come out and give her speech. That says a lot about Beyonce and who she is as a person. I now have some new found respect for her.
I want to know how the show made you feel. Do you think Kanye has anything left after this?

I definitely agree with your post. I think that it was rude and absurd for Kayne West to come out of the audience and ruin Taylor Swifts big moment! I feel especially strongly about this topic because I am a huge Taylor Swift fan! She is one of my favorite country singers! I think she deserved to win the Best Female Video award and I don’t think she should have been interrupted and embarrassed in front the whole audience attending the Video Music Awards and everyone viewing from home. That was a very big night for Taylor Swift and I don’t think that Kayne should have ruined it for her. He was speaking on behalf of Beyonce’s video but that does not make the situation any more appropriate. I do think it was great that Beyonce gave Taylor Swift a chance to come up and do her speech! But still that is not the way that things should have went that Sunday night that the VMAs!
ReplyDeleteMy opinion has greatly changed on Kanye West, but I never really was a huge fan. Kanye West has been known for being boastful and rude. I am sure he did lose some fans over this scandal, but I think that maybe if he keeps losing fans and friends maybe something will sink in. I hope Kanye West learned a lesson in humiliating Taylor Swift!
