What the hell was Kanye West thinking!? Who does he think he is to steal a 19-year-old’s big moment on MTV Video Music Awards? Taylor Swift worked very hard and deserves every bit of the Best Female Video award and more. Oh, Kanye… you have disappointed me.

Best Female Video – Taylor Swift

When they announced Taylor Swift as the winner for Best Female Video, a heartwarming feeling crept in as I watched the beautiful nineteen-year-old country singer make her way up to the stage to accept her award. I could almost feel exactly what she was feeling. Taylor Swift has become an icon in the music industry, ranking at number 69 as the most powerful celebrity with over $18 million in earnings this year by Forbes. The girl can sing, play a guitar, write songs, and even act. She is absolutely phenomenal. Hard work and dedication has definitely paid off for the seven time Academy of Country Music Awards nominee. So to be presented with such an award at the VMA is truly a dream come true for the young singer. You can see it all over her face; the thrill, joy, and appreciation.

Taylor Swift’s Touching VMA Moment

It was her moment. Besides all the attention she’s already getting through her songs and music videos directly, this particular moment was dedicated to recognize Taylor Swift, her success and accomplishments. It was a special moment for Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift alone. So why the hell was Kanye West sharing the spotlight with her onstage? Did he play a major role in Taylor Swift’s life? Was he the person responsible for putting together her award winning video, or could he have possibly written the original lyrics for “You Belong With Me”? No. Kanye West was simply up there to steal the spotlight yet again.

Kanye West shocked the VMA crowd by abruptly cutting in as Taylor Swift began to deliver her acceptance speech, declaring to the world who he thought should have won the award. “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said, “The best video of all time!”

A Little Too Late for Apologies

At first I thought he was up there to congratulate Taylor Swift, maybe spit some rhymes or deliver some kind words. But no. He gave the I-don’t-know shoulder gesture and walked off the stage, leaving poor Taylor Swift speechlessly lost and humiliated. Beyonce, who won the Video of the Year Award, later invited Taylor Swift back on stage to give her the moment she so deserves. Kanye West later released an apology, but the damage was already done.

I absolutely love Kanye West’s style of music. He is also an incredible music artist. Gosh, he’s even one of my top friends on MySpace. However, upon showing his true colors, he obviously still has a lot to learn when it comes to real life issues. What he did to Taylor Swift at MTV’s Video Music Awards was low, selfish and beyond disrespectful. Even my little four-year-old sister knows better than to do something like that. Shame on you Mr. West!
