Now Taylor Swift is responding to Kanye West interrupting her acceptance speech for Best Female Video at the MTV Video Awards last night.
“Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award,” she began. “And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”
After the bizarre incident, she said celebs reached out to her backstage.
“I’ve been getting so many text messages and everybody’s been really nice. So I’ve had a really, really fun night. It’s been interesting definitely. It’s definitely been an interesting night.”
She said she doesn’t have any ill-will toward the rapper, 32, of whom she said she was once a fan.
“I don’t know him, and I’ve never met him, so…” she said. “I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.”
She also thanked Beyonce (who won Video of the Year), who invited her on stage as she accepted her award to give an acceptance speech.
“They told me to stand by the side of the stage, and I didn’t really know what was going to go down,” she said. “But I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done. She’s always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she’s always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn’t love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight.”
And other stars have responded. I’ll put their responses after the break due to the language. Please click on the click to continue reading link below to read it.

Pink twittered: “Kanye west is the biggest piece of s*** on earth. Quote me.”
Kelly Clarkson wondered on her blog:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh***y things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a**hole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone…
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be??
Kanye has already apologized, but is it enough for you, or has Kanye crossed the line one too many times?
He wouldn’t have done that to a black entertainer, I can guarantee you that.
This black man just rekindled what people are trying to get over. White vs. Black and vice versa. Beyonce didn’t even write ‘Put a ring on it’, didn’t The Dream write that for her? Did Beyonce have anything to do with the choreography? The style of the video? Anything to do with production?Taylor wrote that song herself.Why would you do that do a very young girl? I wonder how he treats his girlfriend? I only saw it once and I felt for Taylor because she just stood there, looking confused not understanding where to look, where to go/run, but just left there with the spot light on her and zillions of people watching her look. . .well, like the way she looked.
I don’t know if this was planned and if it were, would Taylors parent’s say’ Ok, honey, this sounds great! Let this guy snatch the mic away, keep you from talking and be left with dead air and people who are all older than you and a bit more seasoned than you(and all of the U.S.)watch you with a blank stare then get usherd off because the time alotted for you was taken away’
If MTV is trying to do anything they can to top Britney’s 2007 VMA’s this isn’t the route.
What an interesting point were are at with the entertainment industry: Don’t give the award to someone who actually wrote the winning song.
Let’s give kanye a case of henney. . .give him sometime to drink it all, then send him to a press conference @ the white house where people are discussing issues that he should really be upset over. OH! but obama isn’t a 19 year old white girl. . .
was up cacaye west shit???
even me is ashamed of yoo nigga antiks fool…
dont make me come out of my nigga bag to phuck you up…ask rirri i will biatch.!!!
She’s a class act. She handled it with grace.
Kanye needs some serious help. Kelly took the words right out of my mouth. The next award he wins, if there will be any. Someone should do that to him so he could see how it feels.
It was reported that some equally sized douche bag said, “You can’t blame a man for speaking his mind.” 1. Yes, you can and, 2. Kanye West certainly isn’t a man.
Katy Perry wrote that it was like he stepped on a kitten – that’s SO spot-on!
To be honest, I am no fan of Beyonce’s to begin with, and I hated that stupid video of hers. She reminded me of a spastic chicken. She did a nice thing when she let Taylor have a second chance to finish her acceptance speech, so that made me like her a little more today. On that note–why is so much emphasis placed on the VMAs that is shown on a channel that doesn’t play videos anymore? They may as well have handed out those moon men to the casts of all their ‘reality’ shows.
lol since I decided to watch sunday night football instead of this drama, can any one recap the kanye west douchery that took place ???
If you scroll down a few stories, the video of clip of it is there.
Taylor is all class and Kanye displayed exactly what he is.
I’ve never cared for Beyonce but now I adore her.
It was bittersweet for her, how dare Kanye does something like that to such a sweet girl?
It feels like he killed a puppy or something. What a douche!
What he did was so un-classy. He deserves no respect.
lol, good point
lol, good point
Taylor handled that amazingly! GOOD FOR HER!
she’s such a sweet girl and didnt deserve that. kanye is just a jerk and wants some attention. his apology doesnt sound sincere. that’s good beyonce called her upstage to let her finish her speech.
Kanye West is so low. I don’t even know what song he is famous for. Yes MTV needs to ban his ass for not being a human being much less a civil human being. NO one should have such an opinion of himself that they would go on national television… take the mic from another person, and say they know another person deserves the award more than the person who won. No one should buy his music in protest and to let the world see we do not condone this kind of behavior.
Sorry at work and cant view the clip

Leave Kanye Alone he’s bipolar
Ditto

Then his stupid ass should have stayed home and taken his meds instead of Hennessy.
i haven’t really found out what happened, could someone help fill in the details? i could research it, but i’m lil lazy lol.
did he interupt her acceptance speech? what did he say?
i heard his apology but i’m really confused….
thank you x
Damn, the vultures have ALREADY opened anti-Kanye shops. (http://www.cafepress.com/ShutUpKanye) Seriously, what the hell!?
Taylor Swift won female video of the year, was up starting her acceptance speech when Kanye walked up on the stage, grabbed the mic out of her hands, and basically told her that she didnt deserve the award and that beyonce shouldve won. Hes an arrogant, classless, loser and Im impressed with Taylor’s reaction. I wouldve grabbed the mic back, and hit him over the head with it! Kelly Clarkson hit the nail on the head with her post about Kanye. Im sure his mama is embarrassed by his behavior!
who the hell is kanya west? I never heard of him. Wait is he the one who’s momma died having surgery? What a creep, I’m rushing right out and buying Taylors CD and I’m not even a big fan of hers.
Kanye is an idiot! It was non of his business in the first place.
Exactly!!! There is something fundamentally wrong with him but he needs to puts the bottle down permanently. It’s not cool.
YAYI………..I AGREE WITH YOUR POINT , BUT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING THAT YOU CLEARLY DON’T GET. WEST DIDN’T CALL HER RASICT NAMES, ABOUT HOW SHE LOOKED; I’M NOT SAYING WHAT HE DID WAS ANY BETTER, BUT COMPARING HIS SELFISH AND VULGAR ACT; TO A TALENTED GIRL WAS NO BETTER, BUT PLEASE DON’T COMPARE HIM TO “IMUS”; THAT F**K ER WAS TRULY RACIST AND DESERVE WHAT HE GOT! People have no idea to be black or be seen as black. The world likes to make us the curse and the disease, until we are needed ….. FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND FUN ; AND WHAT EVER ELSE MAKES THE WORLD “COLORFUL”! Sorry but TRUE. REALLY LOOK DEEPER THAN EVER ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN SAID BY YOU AND ME. HOW MANY PEOPLE OF COLOR O YOU “REALLY” KNOW. BEFORE YOU MAKE SUCH A BLIND STATEMENT ABIUT TWO DIFFERENT INCIDENTS. IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF A ENTHIC COLOR YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND! But I don’t condone West’s FILTH AND MANNERISM. IT BRINGS EVERYONE DOWN!

I agree, you raise a very good point. I also thought it may have been race related.
I totally agree! GREAT point.
I don’t buy it. This is not the first time his done this and people have put up with his tasteless behavior. His an egotistical douche. I can help but to think what would happen if a white guy did that while a black female singer was giving her acceptance speech?? I’ll tell you what would have happened. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would have been all over the news the next day trying to wreck his career.Like they did to Imus.. Yep, its got rascist all over it and he got away with it. Bastid!! And before anyone jump into conclusions, this is not my mentality at all. But with time i have come to believe that this guy is the most racist person i have ever seen. This got to stop!!! Is not acceptable that just because someone has fame and money is gonna get away with being such a disrespectful and rude to other people.

Kanye just needs a slap in de face, multiple perhaps.
It’s a good thing Taylor didn’t let him ruin her night.
The girl just proved she is classier than a 32 year old prick. The bottom line on his behaviour is, wether he agreed about her winning or not, he should never interrupt someone else’s speech.
Kanye and Chris Brown need to be shipped off to a deserted island somewhere. And left there.
Agreed
cosign
oh yeah!
your are so right , the pair of them need spanking with a sock full of quarters !!!
he’s an idiot and a loser and he shouldn’t even be allowed to pursue a career in the music industry, but this country has sick values and standards, and no one cares that the young people look up to these losers and see what they get away with…this won’t hurt him a bit.
i dont know why they keep inviting him to this award shows he just causes a scene all the time…its so childish of him and did it ocur to him no one wanted his oppinion
No, I’m sure that never occured to the self absorbed idiot!
too little too late. He’s a grown ars man. Sit down & let the young girls enjoy her moment. Geez, where was Amber Rose to hold him word vomit back?
She is so cute and she handles herself so well.
He’s a narcacistic tool box who needs to be smacked in the head with a sock full of quarters so he can realize how much of an a-hole he really is. What a douche.
I know you’re a grammar and spelling Nazi too, so let me help you on this one: It’s narcisscistic… ahaha sorry, I could not resist!
he is phony. YES! DRUGGED ASS F**KER
I doubt whether Kayne’s comments were racially motivated , i just think the man is a twat , he has no class , and he obviously got what he didnt expect, what songs are he famous for anyway ??? i never cared for the boy nor his so called music !!! Get off the bottle Kayne and get back to basics !!!!
why is pink so ugly? taylor swift, not my type
