It was an exciting night for Taylor Swift, as she walked up to accept her award for Female Video of the Year. As millions of people watched on September 13th, Kanye West stormed the stage and stole the mic from a very confused Taylor. "Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but BeyoncĂ© has one of the best videos of all time," Kanye West said. "One of the best videos of all time!" In absolute shock, audience members stood up to applaud Taylor Swift, who stood motionless and at a loss for words. Cutting straight to a commercial, people from all over the world sat in their living rooms completely stunned. How could Kanye West, a supposed role model for our young people, completely and blatantly make a mockery of our beloved Taylor Swift? Who gives him a right to speak his own irrational personal feelings while the people voted and Taylor Swift came out on top?
Others are outraged as well, while fans and peers of Taylor's stormed their Twitter accounts and stood up for their friend:
Pink, “My heart goes out to taylor swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her. Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.”
Lady Antebellum, “WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR SWIFT!”
Diamond Rio, ”Can’t believed what happened to Taylor Swift. Kanye West should be banned from all music events. How disrespectful!”
Since the event, Kanye West has publicly apologized multiple times, but the sincerity of his apologies is up to your own personal interpretation. Hopefully this will be another life lesson for West, and he will learn not to bash talented young artists who actually role model an outstanding individual.
