Kanye West steals the mike…and Taylor Swift’s thunder – The event of the night went like this: As per usual, Taylor Swift was shocked, humble and gracious during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video saying she had “always dreamed” of what it would be like to win a moonman. Unfortunately, West was equally shocked and grabbed the mike to declare his vote for Beyonce. There were no winners here as Swift looked ready to cry, Beyonce looked horribly embarrassed and West looked like a big fat jerk. Making the moment even worse was that producers cut Swift off from finishing her speech once West left the stage.
Beyoncé keeps it classy
In the end, Kanye West went home happy as Beyoncé took the award for video of the year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” However, it was Beyoncé who stole the show this time around by inviting Taylor Swift onto the stage to belatedly finish her West-captured acceptance speech.
