Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift
September 20, 2009
Well, I'm just curious. Mostly everyone has heard about what happened during the MTV awards (Kanye's interruption when Taylor was recieving the award). I was thinking...do YOU think he was justified in interrupting that way? Because, if you think about it, he does have a point. Sort of. Taylor Swift (a..well..her music is OK) vs. Beyonce (a music LEGEND) for the award. Besides, Beyonce's music vid WAS great. What do you think?

I think Kanye's interruption was uncalled for. Taylor Swift, who was barely an adult, won an award and Kanye embarrassed her in front of the world. It doesn't matter who should've won, because what Kanye did was rude.

I know i'm reacting to this post literally 13 years later but i had to give my opinion on this. For me, it was absolutely not okay to interrupt Taylor during her speech. She was really young and it left her traumatized. Taylor being really nice, she forgave Kanye but he stabbed her in the back AGAIN in 2016/2017 with his edited phone call and the song "Famous". Thinking someone else deserved the award more is okay, everyone has their own opinion, but interrupting a 20 year old to basically say "yeah good for you, but honestly you didn't deserve it" is not okay at all. And to everyone saying she isn't successful, she recently became the first artist ever to occupy all of the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and is breaking more and more records every week :)

Okay, so i know this post is old, but i have seen the footage, and even though Beyonce is amazing (no doubt), it's not like Beyonce told Kanye to do what he did, and he had NO right to do it. Also, even if you're not a Taylor Swift fan, and you love Beyonce and Kanye, do you really think it was ok to PUBLICLY humiliate her? She was really young, and it was her first MTV music award, like @racheal29 and other people in this discussion have said.

Yes Beyonce is well...Beyonce but Kanye had no right to interrupt Taylor's speech. It was her first mtv music award and when someone as big as kanye interupts the speech it would make you sad

Yes, Beyonce is a lengend and to lose to Taylor Swift is flabergasting but Kanye West still has no right to ruin Swift's moment

I don't think Kanye did anything wrong. I mean look at Taylor Swift now. I can't stand her. I wish he would have interupted her during her preformance. That would have been HILARIOUS!!!!!
Kanye is awesome.
That's really all there is to say on the matter.
But in all honesty, no, Kanye wasn't justified in interrupting Taylor Swift. I still find it difficult to care, because he's a much better rapper than she is a country singer (Kanye is one of the best rappers probably of all time whereas Taylor can't measure up to the Country greats such as Cash or Nelson)
