Kanye West took the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to interrupt Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech on Sunday.
Swift beat out Beyonce for the Best Female Video, marking her first VMA. The country singer was very appreciative of the award, for it being her first and for it making a statement because of her genre of music.
Swift began her speech with humility. "I always I dreamed about winning this someday, but I never thought it would happen. I sing country music."
Then West snatched the microphone from her grasp and gave an outraged shout-out to his dear friend.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you," West said. "I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" He then gave her back the mic and stormed off stage.
The cameras cut to Beyonce, who was in complete disbelief, as the crowd started to boo. Swift stood speechless on stage for a couple of seconds until MTV played a video clip of "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan and rapper Eminem. A shocked Swift was then just escorted off stage.
Later in the night, Beyonce was awarded the Video of the Year. "This is amazing," she said. "I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment."
Swift was brought back on stage and received a standing ovation as she was allowed to give her full acceptance speech. "Maybe we can try this again," said Swift, thanking "all of my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer."
