Kanye West grabs the mic from Taylor Swift
Kanye West once again was able to out done himself. West, who has flipped out before after losing at the VMAs, the Grammys, the American Music Awards and more — again took it by himself when the awards process didn’t go the way he wanted it to go. This time, it was on behalf of Beyonce.
At the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards in Denmark, West crashed the stage after his “Touch The Sky” lost to Justice Vs. Simian’s “We Are Your Friends.” “Oh hell no, you guys won already. Share the wealth. Fuck this,” West said after coming uninvited onstage, mic already in hand, during Simian’s acceptance speech. “This video cost a million dollars!”
And then there was the incident at the VMAs in Las Vegas, with Kanye flipping out because his performance of “Stronger” was relegated to a suite and not the main stage. Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that Kanye lost in all five of the categories he was nominated, resulting in West totally losing his shit in a backstage flip-out that was caught by cameras. “I lost to the fucking Black Eyed Peas last year, man. I’m never fucking coming back to MTV,” Kanye screamed. MTV’s probably wishing about now he hadn’t returned.
This time around his victim was a teenage artist who visibly very excited to win the award only to be interrupted by West by taking the microphone from her while she’s doing her speech and telling the audience that he thinks Beyonce should have won instead.
“Thank you so much!” Swift began. “I always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these some day, but I never actually thought it would have happened. I sing country music so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award.”
Then Kanye West jumps into stage and took the microphone from Taylor Swift’s hand and started bursting his words “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.
A stunned Swift staggered and didn’t get to finish her acceptance speech. The crowd booed West, who shortly after was asked to leave the show and left the building. My heart broke after seeing what happened and I don’t even know Taylor Swift personally, but just imagine how she felt at that moment and what her family felt at that time.
Nobody cares about what Kanye thinks and he obviously didn’t care that he just broke the heart of Taylor Swift in front of thousands of people inside Radio City Hall stage and millions watching around the world. He shouldn’t get invited anymore to any musical awards or any awards for that matter. He doesn’t know what humility and respect means I guess. What can you say about the incident? Me I’m not going to listen to his music anymore and I will take it off my playlist and maybe even deleted them all.
Well the irony of it all was Beyonce won a more prestigious award and she let Taylor Swift back to stage to finish her acceptance speech. If West just waited a little longer then he will see that he doesn’t need to do that stupid stunt of his.

You know I heard something on the radio about Kanye being a racist against white people. While I do not necessarily agree with that I bet he felt like a real dirtbag when Bioncee won best video of the year!

Kayne was dead wrong to steal the moment from Taylor Swift. Every human being deserves love and respect no matter what our differences are. This was was not an act of love or respect.

Where have all the manners gone? There was a time when we looked up to our celebrities as examples of how to act in order to succeed. Not so in some circles.

I agree George. Kanye doesn’t have manners in his vocabulary.
I understand it’s an awful loss he had with those nominations but what happened to his manners. I suppose respect is what matters. We get rewarded by the efforts we made and considering (in his case) he didn’t win, I think he should just accept that.
What’s ironic was if he just waited a few more minutes then he doesn’t need to do all his stupid stuff because Beyonce won a more prestigious award.

Do you think he would have apologized had the media not jumped all over him?

No. I don’t think so. If this didn’t get enough attention then for sure he will say nothing and won’t apologize.

I wasn’t going to comment as this post was written a while ago, but I found myself asking a lot of questions when I read it. I think it is important to find the blogs that you read regularly and stay involved in the discussion in a regular, relevant and timely manner. So I’ll be back and see whether you’ll be answering.I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time…however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual
Sorry for not replying sooner as I almost missed your comment. Well now, you got your answer and as you can see I almost always reply to comments here in my blog. Thanks for leaving your comment and for the visit.

Kanye is kind of a punk, although, you have to hand it to Taylor Swift for getting her one-ups on SNL.
Yeah I saw that episode. Taylor is such a cool girl.
ZXT´s last blog ..Sunday’s Babe of the Week
Well…I never liked this guy, he is so stupid! Poor Taylor, she is a such cool girl and she definitely deserved the award!
Well after the whole issue with the VMA… obviously the winner of the whole story is Taylor Swift… , everyone now hates Kanye and everyone loves Taylor…
TS is a totally unbelieveable singer. I have all of her songs.
Taylor Swift is such a sweety. It’s lame that she was disregarded at the Country Music awards show.
Taylor Swift is the best country-pop singer today. I love all her songs and i love the she dress. She is pretty too. ‘
I am longing for Taylor Swift’s upcoming CD. Feels like ages since her last one.
I was really entertained after reading this one, I never thought that Kanye West would do such an idiotic thing like that. Poor Taylor Swift.. she’s been a victim of a douche bag.
Kayne West is just a glory hound. When someone takes the glory away and the alcohol and drugs kick in then his true colors come out. The world should punish Mr. West by not acknowledging his existince.

yeah kanye is a dick and he is one of those artists that people hate to love because his music is so good. I on the other hand really don’t have to much of a problem with his personal shortcomings. He’s an artist he’s a celebrity he is entertaining to watch. You have to respect him for speaking his mind even in situation when he should probably keep it to himself. I just let Kanye be Kanye.
