Beyonce is one classy lady. She said something along the lines of "I remember being 17 in Destiny's Child and being up for my first VMA, so I'm going to let Taylor have her moment" and brought Taylor Swift on stage to give a real acceptance speech sans Kanye. lol

Beyonce is so CLASSY! That was so sweet of her to let Taylor speak again!
Beyonce is awesome for letting Taylor have her moment.

There are some singers in this world who are bad role models and have terrible morals, but Beyonce is the perfect example for people everywhere.

You guys. Aren't you thinking this is a titch Bruno's-butt-in-Eminem's-face? I mean, their dresses matched and everything.
I don't know, Namo. I'm usually the first to say "Oh, come on. This is STAGED."
But I can't figure out hoe Kanye benefits from this. Eminem at least got to do some macho posturing, which he would think is good for his image.
What does Kanye get out if it--and this, the continued meltdown backstage:

Yeah, I'm usually good at spotting BS, but I don't think this was faked. Taylor and Beyonce both looked shocked, and Kanye is such an effing douche that I wouldn't put anything past him.
Maybe the Beyonce bit was staged, but I doubt the Kanye meltdown was prepared. Or else they wouldn't have kicked him out.
On another note, P!nk scared the hell out of me with that acrobatics performance. I love her for it though!

That's from two years ago. Kanye gets to be the bad boy again. He obviously doesn't give a frick. And Eminem got the macho posturing and then once it was revealed to be staged he got to be a good sport who isn't homophobic at ALL because he knew it was coming.
Ok So the producers knew Beyonce would WIN that awards so what they told anyone who wins the LAST AWARD of the night to being Taylor On stage..;.
SCRIPTED
When has Kayne ever cared what people thought about him?
^^^^Makes no sense what so ever^^^
What a douche.
Was he high?
Looking at the picture mariusmyhomeboy posted, most likely drunk.
I really don't think it was staged. He's be banned from MTV for life. (Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.)

A Russian rash.
"Kavana" is a UK artist he was also on "Grease is the word" in the UK
But then Taylor Swift would have to have been told in advance that she won?
I don't really know if it was staged, but some things do seem fishy.
the douche was clutching a bottle of hennessy! how classless! all that was left out of that scenario was the stoop and the brown paper bag.

I honestly think Kanye West was justified. He was doing what anyone else would have done when faced with that situation. He reacted in self-defense.
I am re-watching it. Did it happen in the beginning? I was on the phone when Beyonce did what she did but saw the replay right after. Kanye is just a jerk. Goldigger is one of my favorite songs but I won't buy it just so I don't put a cent in his pocket! The host is awful! He was on The View this past week and was awful on there also. Enjoyed the MJ Tribute though.
You can actually hear him say "Give a black man a chance!"
I think Obama would have something to say about that.
Kanye's apology:
I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. 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!................. BEYONCE'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!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME... THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!!
