Talk:Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident

On the night of the Video Music Awards (VMA's), Taylor Swift(Age 19) was honored with the Best Music Video Award. During her acceptance speach, R&B artist Kanye West came on stage unannounced. He made a statement saying "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!...All time!". Beyonce Knowles, sitting in the audience, watched in terror. Kanye got boo'd and slammed the microphone against Swift's chest and walked off stage. Swift had no words after but 'Thank you...' and walked off stage about to cry. Later in the show, Knowles(Beyonce) was honored with the Best Song Award. During Beyonce's acceptance speach, she respectfully invited Swift onto the stage so she could have her big moment. People screamed and cheered not only because Swift got her moment, but also because Beyonce did the right thing. West's(Kanye) career had went down the tubes after his actions at the Video Music Awards. Beyonce was thanked and Swift was blessed.
