Kanye West apologized to Taylor Swift and her mother for his outburst during her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
West stormed the stage after Swift beat out Beyonce for the Best Female Video, marking her first VMA. The country singer was very appreciative of the award. "I always I dreamed about winning this someday, but I never thought it would happen,” said Swift. “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.
Soon afterward, West was escorted out of the building. He later issued an apology to Swift on his blog.
“I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom," he wrote. "I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment.”
"Beyoncé's video was the best of this decade!!!! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!!! I'm sorry to my friends at MTV. I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw. Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture!!! No disrespect but we watchin' the show at the crib right now cause ... well you know!!!! I'm still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!!
