Taylor Swift Thanks “Gracious” Beyonce for Inviting Her Onstage After Kanye Stunt at VMAs

Since Kanye West got to do most of the talking during Taylor Swift’s aborted acceptance speech for Best Female Video, the country darling popped into the press room at the end of the night to talk about her eventful evening at MTV’s Video Music Awards.

Her first reaction to seeing West join her onstage at Radio City Music Hall? “I was really excited, because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was onstage,” she said. “And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

Though she admits she was a fan of West’s music in the past, Swift said she had never met the MC before, “and I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.” Rolling Stone has learned that backstage, when Swift’s mother approached West, the MC gave a half-hearted apology in which he added he still thought Beyoncé’s video was superior.

Look back at all the 2009 VMAs’ most memorable moments.

Though she held her tongue rather than slam West, Swift wasn’t short with her praise for Beyoncé, who invited Swift onstage to deliver her acceptance speech while thanking the crowd for her own Moonman, for Video of the Year. (Check out all the VMAs winners.) “They told me to stand by the side of the stage and I didn’t really know what was going to go down, but I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done,” Swift said. “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 Beyoncé more tonight, then tonight happened and it was just wonderful.”

A source close to Swift tells RS Beyoncé’s father/manager Matthew Knowles came backstage to see Taylor and helped arrange her belated acceptance speech. “It’s definitely been an interesting night,” Swift said with a laugh. Backstage after the curtain dropped, the buzz words were “graciousness” and “class” as countless celebrity guests heaped praise on Beyoncé. “By the end of the night, it was obvious that Taylor was a true winner and a talent, and what Beyoncé did was a real testament to how great Beyoncé is as a person,” Lady Gaga gushed. Asked whether it took away from the show or overshadowed it, Russell Brand had this to say: “It’s like an event that occurred, it just makes it more of an exciting evening.”

As for her own performance, which was filmed in a New York City subway station and actual subway car, Swift said it was “one of my favorite parts of the night.” She added it was extra special thanks to “the fact that is was so fan oriented and the fact that the fans were everywhere, which was wonderful. I love New York. I’m so excited to be here.”

Ex-Kanye Fan | 9/14/2009, 1:18 am EST

I hope everyone bans Kanye West and his songs. He is a disgrace to society. He is a bully and I am never going to listen to his music again.

Clarissa | 9/14/2009, 1:25 am EST

so glad Taylor was the adult in the situation and Beyonce showed a lot of class.

no longer a fan | 9/14/2009, 1:31 am EST

I won’t listen to him anymore. His sound is tired anyway.

His initial apology is more offensive than his actions on the stage.

Kanye is a punk | 9/14/2009, 1:42 am EST

And Kanye did it all for nothing? Beyonce ended up winning the biggest award of the night. What a fool.

kanye is a disgrace | 9/14/2009, 1:45 am EST

wow kanye, how’s it feel knowing you’re 30-something and a nineteen year old has more class & maturity than you?

ashlynn | 9/14/2009, 1:47 am EST

she is such a sweetheart. she has never done anything to deserve that.

Kanye...we're over it and you | 9/14/2009, 1:58 am EST

How sad that a grown man had to steal the spotlight from a young girl? I won’t listen to his music anymore and I hope everyone else helps teach him some manners, as well, and chooses not to listen to him also. As for Beyonce, I knew I liked her for a reason, it was very classy and respectful of her to let Taylor finish her acceptance speech, and props to Taylor for being classy too!

Chad | 9/14/2009, 1:58 am EST

I love Beyonce, I love Taylor Swift… and I hope Kanye is done! It won’t hurt my feelings one bit if he disappears off the face of the earth.

veel | 9/14/2009, 2:00 am EST

Beyonce is so sweet i love her

Why Kanye? | 9/14/2009, 2:20 am EST

I felt so sad for her when that happened. Out of all the nominees, Kanye picked on the nicest one! Whyyyyyy? He had no business on that stage! That’s Taylor’s award! We all want our favorites to win every time but that’s not how it goes. Kanye is in ASS! People claim that he was drunk, but nope, was he stumbling and sluring his words? NOPEEEE…he knew what he was doing. Poor Taylor, you’re great and no one can take that away! Good luck with everything!

Why Kanye? | 9/14/2009, 2:25 am EST

How great would it have been if Taylor would’ve took the mic back from Kanye and said “YOU CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING!” lollllllllll

Derek | 9/14/2009, 3:44 am EST

Kanye, you’re a worthless punk. Rot in HELL! I have new respect for Beyonce and Taylor Swift and will now buy all their CDs.

Derek | 9/14/2009, 3:48 am EST

Kanye, you’re a worthless punk. Rot in HELL!!! I have new respect for Beyonce and Taylor Swift.

RYAN | 9/14/2009, 3:56 am EST

i will be picketing the local record store on his next realease date.

“reamember talor swift”
“FORGET KONYE”

Honestly, Kanye... | 9/14/2009, 4:13 am EST

Whether you like Taylor Swift or not, she won the award and deserved her moment which was so rudely taken away by Kanye West. I was a fan of Beyonce-the artist-before, but now, I am a fan of Beyonce-the person. It is truly sad that some people have no common decency, and that these award shows continue to invite this man to attend them, knowing he likes to spoil other’s moments.

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 4:15 am EST

omg my heart dropped for taylor when he did that!! she is the sweetest thing

Innocent Bystander | 9/14/2009, 4:34 am EST

Kanye…who the hell does he think he is. I’m sick and tired of these useless pieces of crap like him making millions in the name of entertainment. I’m sure Beyonce is just thrilled…

helolololo | 9/14/2009, 4:38 am EST

poor taylor :(
i always love beyonce but now,
i love her even moreeee!
heartless song by kanye really suit himself.

vanessa | 9/14/2009, 4:46 am EST

what a dumbass move seriously. especially to a girl? wtf
kanye west is a true douche and he just joined chris brown’s club. your rep is DONE.

hi | 9/14/2009, 4:46 am EST

it was very rude of him to upstage her… the person guiding him off stage, or security or whatever should have said… im bringing you back to second grade to learn basic manners. it was nice of beyonce. west is a gay fish… southpark

bastard-kayne | 9/14/2009, 4:50 am EST

stupid kanye west he should really be ashamed of himself!! she looked soo sad & didnt no what to do on stage :( :( poor girll

jenni | 9/14/2009, 5:02 am EST

I love you taylor. so so much.

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 5:23 am EST

Wow, i wasn’t extremely shocked that he did that because Kanye has a big history of doing things like that. I’m not going to say i hate Kanye, or say that i wont listen to his music BUT it was a terrible thing to do especially since this was Taylors first VMA award. My respect hugely went up For Beyonce what an awesome thing for her to do, i always have respect for Taylor now. I never had respect for Kanye has a person but i have had respect for him as an artist and that wont change.

Disappointed | 9/14/2009, 5:24 am EST

She’s just a kid. He’s a grown man should know better; but he doesnt and he will not change from this. He will be the same man because this is the type of man he needs to be to make the money he lives for. If he changes, he will not have what he has which is really all he desires.

Disappointed | 9/14/2009, 5:26 am EST

someone wrote ‘I never had respect for Kanye has a person but i have had respect for him as an artist and that wont change. ‘
I’m sure many people feel this way and because of this, many people will continue to buy his music and because of this, he will not change.

dev | 9/14/2009, 5:31 am EST

What happened to Taylor Swift was just wrong!! kanye showed a lack
of respect for Taylor, Beyonce, the VMA’s and least importantly himself.

so not Kanye fan | 9/14/2009, 5:36 am EST

I SERIOUSLY HATE kanye west. he is a jerk. but i am still happy cuz taylor swift won the award. kanye is the WORST singer!!!!!!

dev | 9/14/2009, 5:37 am EST

What happened to Taylor Swift was wrong on many levels. kanye showed a lack of respect for Taylor,
Beyonce, the VMA’s and least importantly himself.

Christina | 9/14/2009, 5:47 am EST

I’m not a fan of Taylor’s music but that was just WRONG. She won it, and Kanye is a rude idiot for being so bloody shocking to her. I wanted to bite his nut sack off.

wondering | 9/14/2009, 5:48 am EST

Kanye did what he din because it was Taylor Swift, had the winner been Pink and Kanye did what he did, I’m sure Pink would do something that would make Kanye regret his actions which is not saying that Pink is not a civil person but I think Pink would’nt take it as sweet as Taylor did.

Chris | 9/14/2009, 5:51 am EST

I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift, Kanye West or Beyonce but what just happened was really messed up on Kanye’s part. That poor girl looked humiliated and confused and it broke my heart. Beyonce did great on bringing her back to finish her speech, but the damage had already been done.

Billions | 9/14/2009, 5:52 am EST

Too many apologies yet the same behavior again and again… Not a good look. That’s what feens do.

Chris | 9/14/2009, 5:55 am EST

I honestly think the reason why Kanye was so upset that Taylor won was because she is white. Seriously, Kanye has taken this race card (not the first time) to a whole new level. His apology is filled with so much bullsh*t that it’s even more insulting that what he did at the actual show.

Kanye East | 9/14/2009, 5:59 am EST

BOYCOTT KANYE!

Not out of spite,
but even his biggest fans should give him a chance to be a regular person again, it could be a wake up call for him, maybe he will realize just how lucky he was.

Beyonce full of class | 9/14/2009, 5:59 am EST

Kayne West’s behavior is simply disgusting. What was he thinking? I mean who really cares what HE thinks (other than himself). He’s a selfish jackass. Thankfully Beyonce is a wonderfully classy woman – what a great role model. Perhaps Kayne should take a lesson from her! Everyone should boycott Kayne’s music to send a message that no one should get away with acting such a fool.

x | 9/14/2009, 5:59 am EST

Let’s not kid ourselves. He pulls this shit all the time because he’s a capitalist and an insecure performer. Every time he thinks he’s not getting enough attention he’ll make some outlandish statement or throw a tantrum. It’s a combination of cold calculation and him being a little bitch who should’ve dropped the mic in 06. You clearly don’t know music if you ever thought he was the rawest thing in hip hop or anything but a sellout.

Btw, Taylor Swift’s a doll; I didn’t expect him to be so antisocial as to hurt someone who’d done nothing to him.

[nb I've written my reply without giving him the pleasure of being mentioned]

Heather | 9/14/2009, 6:01 am EST

Someone lied to Kanye during his formative years. He seems to have the impression that his is the only opinion that matters.

x+ | 9/14/2009, 6:02 am EST

Also, the VMAs are about as real and entertaining as WCW. If MTV had any sense of decorum they would’ve kicked him out the second he walked off stage.

Abby | 9/14/2009, 6:06 am EST

Beyonce was definitely gracious and it was so sweet of her to give support to Taylor.

Kanye on the other hand should join Fred Phelps church.. he would fit right in with those loons protesting at funerals…

Ridgecity | 9/14/2009, 6:08 am EST

Kanye West only showed how little he really knows of the music industry. Beyonce didn’t win because her video wasn’t better, but because she doesn’t have as many fans as Taylor Swift, and those fans request her video many times a day, and buy her cd and fill every seat on her shows. MTV needs an audience, and they will do what they want to keep that audience, it’s their award show, they decide you gets attention. Awards don’t go because “you are the coolest rockstar”, but because you are the most profitable one and most of the time goes together with “coolness”. In the end, more than art, it’s how you sell your art that gets attention.

Beyonce showed how smart she is and probably got the award that was going to Kanye West, but gave the spotlight to Taylor, as she had some responsability on the situation and handled it the best way. She probably has thanked the same people everytime to now it was a great moment to show maturity.

Kanye West will go on to sell more music after his public apology, will have to learn some discipline and shut his mouth, at least during the award shows, as he has already done stuff like this to the Black Eye Peas and Euroband J.U.S.T.I.C.E., he only showed he needs to get his feet back to the ground as Beyonce showed him and Swift displayed as surprised as she was for getting this business bonus. She has done a ton and is already a household name that deserves recognition. Beyonce career was already dwindling from the edge with the teens getting everything and this video was a major step towards her continuity, but her display of attitude at the VMAs have cemented her for at many more years on people’s hearts.

I only thing I see here is that Kanye West need to get some better people around him as they aren’t teaching him how everything works. Sadly, one of his best friends is Jamie Foxx, the oscar recipient who decided to rant against another popular teen idol, Miley Cyrus.

Why are adults hating on the teens? do they still consider themselves young people to act childish like that?

Essex | 9/14/2009, 6:10 am EST

Kanye crossed the line. Like many an egomaniac before him, pride comes before a fall.

kanye should go to hell | 9/14/2009, 6:15 am EST

kanye is nothing but a BITCH!

LOSER | 9/14/2009, 6:22 am EST

OMG this didn’t suprise me he’s done this kind of thing before but i just would have thought after the last time he woould have cleaned up his act i doubt his mum would have been pround of what he did especially picking on a girl still in her teens, i mean us teens are already insecure about ourselves why make it worse. Kanye should realise that sooner or later people won’t put up with his bullshit

Ridgecity | 9/14/2009, 6:28 am EST

Race doesn’t have anything to do with it, playing the race card dismisses a more important conflict, it’s education and moral values. He has a opinion like everyone else, but blurting it out like he repeatedly does, shows he lacks the social skills to control himself.

It’s not because she’s a white teenage and he’s a africanamerican man, but because she was an artist/performer accepting an award to her work, that looking at her face, couldn’t believe she was getting, showing the humility (not caring what you are worth) Kanye lacks.

Ms. Swift, congratulations and country or not, you deserved to be there beating “the best”.

B. Rook | 9/14/2009, 6:45 am EST

Kanye West was completely wrong to steal Taylor Swift of her moment. He’s been booted from the VMA’s according to an article I read on AOL. I’m sorry, but Kanye thinks he’s a black Jesus.

But how Beyonce recognized Swift during her award really was classy, and I’m pleased that Swift didn’t let Kanye ruin her night.

Umph! | 9/14/2009, 6:51 am EST

Classy move B…

Beyonce doesn’t have as many fans as the other chick? LOL…check your stats before you post please. I did not even know who she was until this situation. Happy for her and wish her the best, but Beyonce did that because she UNDERSTOOD which means she had to have been there before.

As for the black people being racist and this is about racism…I refuse to entertain that nonsense.

Kanye is a jerk…

Yo Tony | 9/14/2009, 7:02 am EST

Beyonce, you are one classy lady! Not only are you a very talented singer and dancer, but you are a professional all the way! You go girl!!! Kanye….you have a long way to go….the world DOES NOT revolve around you and your opinions. You will find that what goes around comes around and when it does come around, it will bite hard!!!

Matt | 9/14/2009, 7:27 am EST

Note to KANYE.

T-Swizzle is not really a rapper.
But T-Swizzle is a better rapper than Kanye.

But don’t be starting Ganster wars Kanye, Taylor is just a kid and your stole her moment.

That is a new low, even for Kanye.

Happyhrt | 9/14/2009, 7:27 am EST

Beyonce, you are a professional all the way…class, good character, and great talent!! You go girl!!! Taylor. congratulations to you and your successful career!! Kanye, you have a loooonnnnngggg way to go….what goes around comes around, and, when it does, it will bite you hard! The world does not revolve around your opinions and bad manners.

Taylor and Beyonce | 9/14/2009, 7:28 am EST

They are both very classy ladies! And the way they handled this was very admirable. Kanye had no right to steal Taylor’s moment,and acceptance speech. Kanye is an idiot,bully and sad excuse of a man!Taylor is so successfull and talented and the sad thing is that she will have more crazy people like this jealous of her success.

Walter | 9/14/2009, 7:48 am EST

You know, I’v walked this earth for 62+ years. I try to keep up with all things new and fresh and I watched the show last night. I also felt, as a lot of us did, empathy for Kanye when he lost his mother. I was adopted at birth and I went on to find my birth mother, so I have lost two mothers. I try to think everyday if what I say would make my mother proud. KAYNE, YOUR MOTHER CAN NOT BE PROUD OF YOU TODAY. PLEASE, look before you leap in the future. There were two classy ladies standing on that stage at the end of the show. Take notice!!!!!

fides garon | 9/14/2009, 8:01 am EST

o very hapi that my favorite singer wins because taylor swift sing the you belong with me!

juicey3 | 9/14/2009, 8:10 am EST

BFD!!! Boo Hoo!! Hey, Taylor it’s a tuff business (ask Cowell). A good recovery would’ve been to agree w/West, continue your speech and move on. Standing there like a wounded kitty is just a pathetic. BUCK UP! And uh for those “Poor Taylor” comments….yeah, she’s anything but “poor”. BTW if you saw her red carpet interview, she knew she should not have won either. F**K Country Music. Tell her to take her ass to the CMA’s where she belongs.

Daniel | 9/14/2009, 9:09 am EST

Kayne West is a living example of a Prejudice, sick, twisted little child with a little money and Way To Much Access. (The amount of access is determined, in the end, by fans. Want him to go away don’t watch, listen or buy his stuff,)

Agreed | 9/14/2009, 9:17 am EST

Haha good point “yo tony”

MaccDaddy | 9/14/2009, 9:29 am EST

juicey3…. Your an idiot just like Kanye. Taylor has more class in her little toe then you and Kanye combined. WAY TO GO TAYLOR!!

Sad | 9/14/2009, 9:33 am EST

It is sad that Beyonce had to do damage control cus once again Kanye can’t keep is trap shut. He is like Al Sharpton trying to grab every op for media attn. Complimenting Beyonce by humiliating Taylor is just the sort of thing Beyonce would never do, since she represents the black community w/inteligence and class. Two things Kanye will never have.

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 9:36 am EST

What do you expect from a racist bigot, untalented, uneducated and spoiled individual like West? Well, you saw it yesterday.
Let’s boycot this guy and don’t buy anything from him. That’ll teach him.

West seems to be the kind of guy who complains about being disrespected, but has no problem dissing others.

Mad as Hell | 9/14/2009, 9:49 am EST

When is this idiot going to shut his mouth. This is one of the reason why our country is going down the toilet! He acts like he’s a caring human. But, he’s the worst kind (foney). Kanye is self-absorbed and loves the sound of his own voice. Which I might add- he can’t even sing! We need more people like the two ladies on the stage.

The flip side | 9/14/2009, 9:52 am EST

What do you think Kanye would have done if Taylor were his daughter and a big mouth jerk desperate for attention had stolen her moment. He would have rushed the stage to beat the guy up and started his own campaign to ban the jerk.

Kanye Swift VMA | 9/14/2009, 9:54 am EST

… Who Cares what you think Kanye. How about this, go steal some more ‘70 Samples, speed them up get jay to ryme on them and fall back. Or keep auto tuning and leave the real artists alone. You will go down in history as an idiot. You and Milly Vanilly will be int he same page of the book.

gabe | 9/14/2009, 9:59 am EST

Some1 put sumthin about taylor having more fans than beyonce and thats unreal,taylor is a gud person and im happy she won….but this show is not based on fans 100%…beyonce is the queen at wut she do and she is a wonderful artist….i liked her vid better than taylor’s but i think the GAGA should have won….Mr west is an ass 4 wut he did and i neva liked him…beyonce fans (the 1000,000,000,000,000), she have will kill 4 her mr west being one of them…soooo 4 the person who putt that about QUEEN Beyonce need 2 shut THE HELL UP!!!!!!

TJ | 9/14/2009, 10:12 am EST

juicey 3…I’m assuming by that name you think “rap” music takes talent! haha that’s funny. At least Taylor Swift can sing and doesn’t have to put others down to make herself look cool. You need some class…apparently you and Kanye were raised the same way…

Lisa C. | 9/14/2009, 10:35 am EST

Come on, who ever accused Kanye of having a brain. I mean his ears are so low he can barely keep his glasses on. Where was security? Truth is VMA’s like this kind of mess and everyone knows it. Madonna
couldn’t find a female to french so we get this. As a TS fan, I am totally unaffected!

beccaa | 9/14/2009, 10:59 am EST

Taylor deserved that award. She works hard for what she does. I love beyonce, but in my opinon, her video wasn’t better. All she did was dance half naked in it. Kanye shouldnt have been so HEARTLESS and did that, Taylor had to get escorted off stage, he was wrong on so many levels, I’m sure his mother is proud.

How could he be so heartless?

Never been a fan of Kanye or Taylor. Beyonce is the queen that goes without saying. But Kanye’s outburst was not only disrespectful to Taylor, it was disrespectful to Beyonce. Beyonce showed that she is 100% CLASS Kanye is the same minus the CL.
CLASS – CL = Kanye

Kanye Needs A Career Burn | 9/14/2009, 11:11 am EST

Why is Kanye even called an artist to begin with?
An artist not only requires talent, but class and respect. And Kanye obviously doesn’t posses any of those qualities.

He should be banned from going to awards show because this isn’t the first time he has done this. Is this some sort of daily antic he needs to get his career going? Either way, he shouldn’t be tolerated any more.

Kanye needs a career burn. I’m so sick of hearing him. He is off putting and has no substance when he speaks.

Taylor Swift deserved her win and most definitely deserved her moment. People voted for her and you know what Kanye those people are the “real fans of pop culture” and that’s “the real world” sweetie. Get over yourself please. You’re leaving a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Roberta | 9/14/2009, 11:11 am EST

Taylor did not deserve what Kanye did… but, I agree with Kanye… Beyonce did have one of the greatest videos of the year… and she should have one the award…but, MTV does this all the time… they don’t look at the overall impact of the music video…they try and be “fair” to all the people that they think deserves an award.. that’s why in the end…they gave Beyonce VIDEO OF THE YEAR… It’s MTV’S fault… they know how he is… and they keep inviting him to the show each and every year… if you want to blame someone… blame MTV…they did not even do a real tribute to DJ AM.

Taylor Fan | 9/14/2009, 11:12 am EST

I have to say that I saw Taylor in concert a few weeks ago and she was AMAZING! I am STUNNED that Kanye had the nerve to ruin HER moment and steal her ( hard deserved ) thunder. Beyonce has class and it shows by what she did. I just feel bad for Taylor, that NEVER should have happened.

SuzieQQ | 9/14/2009, 11:14 am EST

Can you imagine the horrible things he must say to his bald-headed gf??
She needs to change teams…. LOL!!

Kanye loser | 9/14/2009, 11:15 am EST

Kanye said so much about himself without even realizing it and the crowd had the last word by booing him. I wonder if he got the hint.

Money | 9/14/2009, 11:24 am EST

Kanye’s a jerk. The fact that he’s black should not create an association for all black people. There are jerks of ALL races. And it’s a hard sell if you think he’s not a racist. But at a certain point we have to speak with the language they understand. Let your money speak for you. Don’t buy his records and let him fade off into the sunset. Maybe a fall from privilege will grant him the humility he so desperately needs and money certainly can’t buy.

Well. Ive deleted all his music. I dont give a crap about his good “crappy” music that wont be remembered in 10 years. Hes nothing special and after last night, he should be ashamed. Rather Beyonce had a better video or not, Taylor has been working her butt off, and being a country artist breaking that much ground worldwide is a BIG accomplishment. Esp being on MTV. Beyonce has won awards for years, it was Taylors moment and he ruined it. But thanks to Beyonce, she got that moment back. That was one of the best gestures Ive seen from her and praise her for saving the night. How disrespectful to Beyonce, Taylor and MTV. My image is warped, much like Chris Brown, you just dont do that..

Umph! Never Heard of Beyonce! | 9/14/2009, 11:33 am EST

Man, who moved the rock!
I don’t even listen to country music and I know who taylor swift is!

Kayne is a Punk | 9/14/2009, 11:37 am EST

This is just the kind of thing that causes some people to jump on the can’t stand blacks wagon. You truly are a discredit to everyone who is trying so hard to normalize race relations in this country. I wonder if Kanye’s mother was still alive if she’d slap his face like he deserves.

Lucy | 9/14/2009, 11:39 am EST

Beyonce is not just beautiful on the outside, but incredibly beautiful on the inside too. I liked her work a lot before what took place at the VMA’s, but am now a true fan because she is truly THE QUEEN of class and a true role model of Graciousness. God bless her.

Stan M | 9/14/2009, 11:58 am EST

Kanye West is a Jack Off, who in the hell does he think he is to disrespect another person award.
He’s a NO CLASS ACT. He should not
be allowed into any other award shows and shouldn’t even be consider for any himself. What a Jerk.

Racist comments | 9/14/2009, 11:59 am EST

People, while I agree that what Kanye did was wrong, why all the comments about ‘his people’. Kanye spoke for Kanye, not the entire black race. Anyone can be an a$$hole regardless of race. I but the blame on MTV for inviting him year after year knowing his track record for tasteless outbursts.

Duh | 9/14/2009, 12:03 pm EST

MTV loves the controversy, which is why they let Kanye on stage in the first place. They know what a douchebag he is and can be counted on to do stuff like this. What kind of d-bag picks on teenage girls?

Kevin | 9/14/2009, 12:05 pm EST

He also threw a fit at the American Music Awards in 2004 when country artist Gretchen Wilson beat him in the new artist category. Seems he has a thing for verbally abusing country girls.

Star | 9/14/2009, 12:11 pm EST

Next year no issue Beyonce career will be over she can laugh it up with Kanye all day long.

Regina | 9/14/2009, 12:25 pm EST

At first when he hopped up on stage I thought it was joke until no one was laughing. That was incredibly rude of him, everyone nominated deserved that award, so I’m happy for Taylor.

I’m glad she got to enjoy her night, and it was very classy of Beyonce to give Taylor her moment. After all, Beyonce has won before, and it probably won’t be that last time either.

Kudos for Taylor and Beyonce acting like ladies.Kayne needs to stop acting like a BABY!

T.J. | 9/14/2009, 12:28 pm EST

It saddens me that there are people that stick up for Kanye West. Those people are the same ones that allow him to act this way. They buy his records, see his shows, stick up for him like today. Those people are completely outnumbered by the people who have a moral compass. If he truly was a child of God, he would examine himself and realize what the Word says “his” job is in this life. To step back and watch him, he has been allowed, (by those people I described) to think he is God “Himself”……sad

Derek | 9/14/2009, 12:31 pm EST

Taylor swift won that award fair and square. what a major accomplishmnt for anyone especially a 19 year old. Kanye has ruined someone’s special moment for the last time and I am glad the fans took a stand with Beyonce leading the way.

RYAN | 9/14/2009, 12:53 pm EST

it is a race thing, west has shown raceism in the past and even claimed conspearecy aganst him and the black race. no mater what the motives were for beyonce it dosent matter, she did the right thing. but i must agree beyonce dos have more fans, plain and shimple just look at the sales.

Cant believe it! | 9/14/2009, 12:57 pm EST

This incident was just unbelievable! Boycott his music! I’m no country music fan, but this poor girl did not deserve this..Thank u, Beyonce, for showing class and giving Taylor Swift her moment, even though the damage was already done.

T.J. | 9/14/2009, 1:05 pm EST

Well, I don’t know if popularity decides who wins what. Look at the Grammy’s. They are supposedly the “Award” of awards for musicians, and its political how those are chosen. But I personally don’t understand the Taylor Swift buzz, I’m not a fan, but you cannot deny, she is BIG right now. She is being nominated for “Entertainer of the Year” at the CMA’s and a woman hasn’t had that honor since Faith Hill 9 years ago. Anyway, I think a lot of it has to do with who is big “right this second” not who has sold more albums, who is more poplular, ….who knows, but Taylor is definately huge right now, I don’t know why she’s THAT huge, but she is. You cannot be biased when you think about these things, because if you are biased, ……you may end up sticking up for Kanye, and he definately needs your help today. LOL

Maria | 9/14/2009, 1:21 pm EST

He is just an ignorant, rude gangsta’… he needs to give himself a reality check. Beyonce does not needs any kudos from him – and she probably was appalled to see him up there like the fool he is. Taylor won fair and square thru fan participation. He needs to be penalized by his record company and his mouth needs to be wired for any award shows he attends. As a matter of fact record companies need to take this incident into consideration and draft a set of rules for their artists…. actually I’m surprised he didn’t pull out a gun – that will definitely be the next step in his repertoire of “IDIOCY ACTS”…

bmorefit | 9/14/2009, 1:30 pm EST

Good will always prevail in the end. Let he or she who is without sin cast as many stones as you desire. Kanye needs prayer and compassion. Hopefully he will learn to accept others for whom they are and not as he thinks they should be. Congrats Taylor and Thank you Beyonceas you turned a tragic situation into a lesson for us all. Embrace, encourage and accept with love and compassion, rather than attack, disparage and provoke.

Independent | 9/14/2009, 1:32 pm EST

Did all white people start the war in Iraq? NO. Does Kanye represent all black people? Absolutely NO.

Stupidity is colorless and genderless.

Kanye would be in serious trouble with my AA family and have to make significant amends to Taylor and her family beyond a superficial and stale apology (my daddy does not play and does not care how old his children are…Kanye would have some serious consequenses to deal with).

Kanye represents no one except his immature, tasteless, delusional self. Beyonce must have been horrified as he does not represent her.

His mouth should be taped up for 12 months.

kanye sux | 9/14/2009, 1:35 pm EST

kanye seems to think the world revolves around him. he thinks he is a god in the music world. nothin but a whiny bitch. i USED to be a fan but no longer. oh and btw kanye, your last album sucked ass!!!

ashley | 9/14/2009, 1:41 pm EST

I Was so very shock kanya is just not happy for ppl to win things other then other ppl just cause taylor won instead he had be judgemental and be a freakin party pooper and be a freakin hater instead giving taylor praise he needs to admit he was sorry and be fairly to taylor and I’m glade beyonce stood up for her self to praise taylor that’s why beyonce remains a diva because that was the right thing to do so congrats taylor way to go you deserve all the best to beyonce classy and beautiful and kayne freaking hater go smoke weed and then get busted for it you jerk bag I lost respect for him since what he pull at the VMA’s if ur a fan of taylor or not she still deserve the winning full speech and the moment

Um country music??? | 9/14/2009, 2:08 pm EST

Taylor swift sounds like every other generic overproduced “country” music “star”. At least Kanye is honest. Swift represents everything wrong with the music industry. Wheres the rock and roll? Wheres the revolution. If teens are really listening to Pop country more then the soulful beyonce and kanye then that explains alot about why this country is so messed up.

Carmen | 9/14/2009, 2:09 pm EST

I do believe that as of last night Kanye commited career suicide. I am half black and I USED to be a fan of his music, but I will no longer put one cent of my money in his bank account after his tasteless actions. I think the man thinks he is the second-coming of Jesus, he’s in for a rude awakening. Who picks on a child, and at that..a TALENTED child who has been writing and performing her own music since the age of 14 and deserved that award!? He is a nuisance, he’s a complete racist idiot and he should be banned from any kind of award show in the future.

DAVE | 9/14/2009, 2:51 pm EST

This is not a racial issue…it’s a just plain “right verses wrong issue”..rudeness,unkindness,me an-ness,and thoughtlessness,are inappropriate no matter what “color” you are.Mr West needs to understand that while he is certainly entiled to his opinions,there was no excuse for his behavior.It was hurtful,and certainly class-less.

CountryMusicFan | 9/14/2009, 2:59 pm EST

I think it’s a down-right shame that he would pull such a stunt. What makes this even more disturbing is that this was an award for the Best FEMALE Video. What did he have to do with who won the award. After reading the other comments, I’m not sure so those who say he did this is because the singer who one this category is white isn’t too far off. Taylor Swift isn’t one of my favorite country music singers (she’s a bit overrated) but she’s a good role model for the younger girls out there. The thing is though, after everything was done and said, Beyonce still ended up winning Video of the Year. Now, why didn’t he get up there then? News flash to this jerk … Winning the Video of the Year award not only beats out the female artists but the male artists as well. He’s a disgrace to the music industry and has no clue what it means to be professional nor how to conduct himself in public. He gets his rocks off by grandstanding, no matter what the occasion. And now it appears he’ll do things even when it has nothing to do with him.
I’m very impressed and have the utmost respect for Beyonce. She was gracious enough to step aside and allow Taylor Swift to finish her acceptance speech. Beyonce said she knows what it felt like to win her first VMA when she was with Destiny’s Child. Apparently, this jerk doesn’t know how to hold onto those memories and know how important something like this is others in “the business”. What an ignorant ass!

Rebecca | 9/14/2009, 3:10 pm EST

What Kanye did to Taylor was COLD. There are no words to describe what she may have felt. I seen the replay and I know Beyonce tried to make it right but the upset was already there. Kanye is no fan of mine anymore, his head is to BIG for me. Taylor you are a sweetheart keep up the good work!!

Music man | 9/14/2009, 3:10 pm EST

As the world tries to get past the race issue, some just want it to thrive.

Anonymous | 9/14/2009, 3:14 pm EST

If Kanye wants to apologize, let him do so at the CMAs. Of course he doesn’t have the balls for that. Little man only pulls this shit where he knows he can get away with it, and with people who can’t fight back, like teenage girls, for Christ’s sake.

VMA voted on by fans? | 9/14/2009, 3:19 pm EST

Aren’t the VMA’s given out to those celebrities the fans vote for? Not only did Kanye disrespect Taylor Swift and Beyonce by association, but he disrespected the award show and the fans who took the time to make their votes known. He disrepected a form of democracy and the music industry. He could have made his point just as honestly after the award ceremony to the press. Ban Kanye

Stephanie | 9/14/2009, 3:19 pm EST

While I understand that there are those out there who may agree with Kanye’s OPINION about Beyonce’s video being superior, that’s not what this issue is about. Its about him making his opinion more important than a young girl’s dream in a life-changing moment. He’s entitled to his opinion however that does not give him the right to take that special moment away from Taylor. We all work to achieve goals and dreams in life and once achieved you hope to God for the recognition, Taylor deserved that same opportunity and instead some drunk narcissist turned it into a nightmare…not cool.

Debbie | 9/14/2009, 3:22 pm EST

I am not a rap or a country music fan. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Kanye West should be banned from music awards in the future. His behavior was inexcusable. He stole a precious gift from a talented teenager. Kudos to Beyonce for showing Kanye what right in the face of wrong really means.

Miss-D | 9/14/2009, 3:27 pm EST

He should be fined heavely for this. This is a person who is all about himself. Why does he keep getting invited to awards shows when he can’t keep his mouth shut.

I am really sorry for Taylor Swift for having her moment taken away from her.

Congradulations to Beyonce….now she has class something Kanye west can only dream of having.

Andrea | 9/14/2009, 3:50 pm EST

Kanye West is a sorry excuse for a human being. Who in the hell does he think he is??? God Bless beyonce for giving Taylor her moment back…now that’s pure class right there, unlike disgraceful Kanye. KANYE YOU SUCK!!!

NELLIE | 9/14/2009, 3:50 pm EST

I want to say that I think both women deserve an award. I am not sure how anyone is able to vote because in my opinions they are all gifted. It has to be a hard decision however it was a decision made. I do not think anyone has the right to disrespect someone and humilate them the way Kayne humilated Taylor Swift. Beyonce is a class act! She proved to the world last night what type of person she is and for that I will always love her.

connerblu | 9/14/2009, 3:57 pm EST

Tom | 9/14/2009, 3:58 pm EST

Kanye a long time ago lost me as a fan when he said he was a Christian and then cursed up a storm in his songs, now he has pulled this little fit twice now on award shows. I am sad this took away from Taylor, Beyonce, Michael Jackson (tribute). Kanye how about aplogies to everyone? Sad, very sad boy.

Sangin | 9/14/2009, 4:10 pm EST

There’s always a saying you learn in school or from your mom. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all simple as that. But the fact of it is what Kanye did was so wrong, that even Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles could see that Kanye West is without a doubt on of the most ignorant person to walk the face of the earth. I mean, come on.. Taylor is only what.. I don’t know, 20 years old? Something like that, point is, this is her first VMA Award, she has worked so hard, and for what? Some fucker to walk up stage, and go..” Taylor I’m “happy” for you, I really am, but…” Then just to drift off into that is UNBELIEVABLE. I mean I’m a dick a lot of people admit it, but I’ve never in my day ever stopped someone of their most proud moment in life and rain on it.. What Kanye did to Taylor, is like Kanye running into a room of a woman giving birth, and shouting, “I’m “happy” for you, I really am, but Octomom had 8 babies…” Then shrugging and walking off. Point is, right and wrong Kanye wrong, and Taylor keep doing what you do.

lani lani | 9/14/2009, 5:20 pm EST

Kanye really needs to think before he does something! Yes kanye had a right to give his opinion, but taking the microphone from Taylor and her moment was a low blow! And Kanye is how old? Luckily he was mature enough to apologize! And Beyonce was Gracious for letting Taylor have her moment back! Good Job ladies!

Megan | 9/14/2009, 5:50 pm EST

I think Taylor handled it well, though she was shocked. I personally would have been in tears. I’ve never been a fan of Beyonce, but I am happy and impressed with her for what she did for Taylor. I don’t know who Kanye is and frankly I don’t care and will never buy anything of his. Someone needs to teach him some manners.

Think about it, NBC ratings are in the crapper, & the industry is not so sure the new Leno primetime spot will make a difference. Having kwest appear on Leno would ensure more of the outraged public will tune in.

It’s possible. After all, you guys can’t stop commenting on it.

Sara | 9/14/2009, 7:18 pm EST

She shoulda hit him with her award =) Poor Tay. It was so nice of Beyonce to give her some time back on stage. I feel bad for her too. Kanye made her look bad with his childishness.

Kanye West needs therapy. Hes on a self destructive pattern because hes realizing hes not relavent anymore. He knows he cant bust out a single without collaborating with or remixing someone actually talented. Hes sticking to high publicity, low impact snafus with everyone from musicians to politicians like a coward. taking advantage of a live broadcast to say his useless thoughts. theres so many words to describe him that cant be used here, especially rapper. hes an r+b artist, not a rapper. he makes slow jams for crying out loud.

MUSICFAN001 | 9/14/2009, 8:40 pm EST

Ban KW from any awards and/or nominations. Do not support his label and/or those who promote him via advertisements. He took a very cheap shot to someone who worked hard to get nominated and win award. Get real Kayne, the person you were touting over was not even nominated for category, so why didn’t you rear your ugly head with foul mouth earlier and not just at awards where you could hijack it. You are a serious liability and should never be allowed to be in attendance or public speaking. I have erased all songs of yours and will not support any label who represents you nor advertisers who utilizes you. go dig a hole and jump in it, it will be higher round than you presently stand on.

What Kanye West did was totally unacceptable…but I feel kinda sorry for him because I think the death of his mother “messed him up” mentally so to speak. Im not even trying to be funny when I say this, but he’s literally starting to go crazy : / . Taylor Swift seems like such a sweethearted person and what Beyonce did was commendable. I hope Kanye grows up soon…and I honestly wish the best for him and hope he learns from his mistakes eventually.

I like Taylor also but I didn’t think she should have won but oh well. He should have kept his opinion to himself and he was way off base by getting up on stage and taking the microphone but banning the man’s music and all that crap you guys are just as bad as he is You are talking about him being immature Seems like the pot calling the kettle black

I’m actually a huge fan of Taylor’s music. Whether she won or not, I wouldn’t stop listening to her. If I turned on the news right now, and found out that she abused animals or something, I wouldn’t beable to listen to her music without thinking about that. It’s the same with Kanye. I used to love his music, but I can’t enjoy it when I know what a jerk he is =( And how humiliating for Taylor. Could you pick a worse time to voice your opinion? Poor girl =(

a kanye fan no more | 9/14/2009, 11:51 pm EST

How self-centred. I hope someone interupts HIS speech, next time he’s telling everyong how much better than us he is

Anonymous | 9/15/2009, 12:00 am EST

He’s not better than anybody. He might have more money, but a rich loser is still a loser in my books. I’ve never liked him. I don’t like Taylor either, but atleast she’s not a stuck up brat. Now Beyonce on the other hand… There’s an artist!

beyonce true class | 9/15/2009, 12:07 am EST

Here is a lady who just won the award for best video of the year and handed her moment over to a 19 year old new artist–TRUE CLASS

beyonce fan-sorta | 9/15/2009, 12:08 am EST

i really don’t think beyonce deserves the “classy” or “gracious” title, at least not for this incidence. well, she was only delivering what seems to have been master-minded by her dad. i’ve read on other news sites that her dad planned the whole “give taylor back her moment” thing and beyonce was actually only the person carrying out the plan…which makes me wonder: did her dad know that she was getting the voty award? or did he plan things on the basis of “just in case you get the award, bring taylor back out”. as much as i love beyonce, what she did last nite just seems out of her character, she’s normally timid and seems scared to do or say much unless spoken to, maybe she fears she’ll do or say the wrong thing…low confidence…hence the alter ego, to help with that

what if ??? | 9/15/2009, 12:11 am EST

heres something to ponder…Taylor Swift doesn’t win but PINK does and kanye walks off that stage with a major limp and a microphone stuck somewhere a mic isn’t supposed to go – LOL
Congrats Taylor you deserve the award..

Amanda | 9/15/2009, 12:33 am EST

I don’t think Kanye will have to worry about anyone storming the stage to interupt his thank you speech because I don’t think he’ll be winning ANYTHING ANYTIME soon. He is such an A-HOLE

Janto | 9/15/2009, 1:58 am EST

Kanye is an uneducated hoodlum punk. He and Chris Brown are wonderful role models for losers.

iamfree | 9/15/2009, 3:02 am EST

West is an insignificant little speck of a man. Ms. Swift had as much right to be there and be a winner as anyone else. And Ms. Knowles is a true lady and a national treasure.

jray | 9/15/2009, 3:23 am EST

Listening to all this… I have to tell you…. I have worked and known Beyonce in a very personal way. She, is absolutely…. an incredibly good and decent person. Her stage personality is 100 percent different than who she is. It’s called.. ENTERTAINMENT people. When she invited the lovely Taylor Swift back up on that stage, it was because she was mindin’ her upbring. I swear to y’all…. that’s how she really is, whether cameras and people are around or not. Two great entertainers there last night, two real ladies. Congratulations to them both.

vinod | 9/15/2009, 4:19 am EST

the whole reason y kanye did it is so obvious….lemme break it down…a while back he had disrespected justice on stage and was from then on tagged a pompous, self indulgent prick who blows his own horn….he realized that it really hurt his career later on and to redeem himself of his selfish image he had to jump on stage and give a shout out to someone other than himself….i see right through u kanye

meamwayne | 9/15/2009, 5:40 am EST

Kanye is an oaf, but he did indirectly point out how stupid the VMAs are. If Beyonce is a female artist and has the best video of the year, how can she not have the best video by a female artist?

Sara | 9/15/2009, 9:30 am EST

I’m glad to see so many people are disgusted with Kanye’s behavior. He is an ass who thinks the sun shines down on him at all times. He would never have put up with that kind of disrespect. Something would have went down if someone interrupted his acceptance speech, that’s for sure! Taylor and Beyonce are amazing :) Kanye… you suck!

R U serious | 9/15/2009, 1:21 pm EST

kanye is a f@#$ing loser.

armanie | 9/15/2009, 1:30 pm EST

i agree… what kanye did was wrong but instead of looking at what he did people need to look at what caused him to do it…long story short he is on a verge of a mental break down because of the death of his mother.

Juliann | 9/15/2009, 1:31 pm EST

Beyonce is a class act. Maybe Kanye West should spend some time paying more attention to her good manners than her great videos. He should keep his opinions to his Twitter and MySpace pages where those who care to know his opion can read them. I feel he should use the time he would be spending at awards shows attending cognitive behavioral therapy because he clearly has some emotional issues and most likely suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome.

kanye sux | 9/15/2009, 2:24 pm EST

i hate ppl trying to justify his actions like the idiot who commented b4 me. please stfu! he was doing these things way b4 his mom died. mental breakdown my ass. what are you his psychiatrist? quit acting like u truly know wut hes goin through. hes an egotistical loser who thinks he is god. theres plenty of ppl who are many times more talented. knowing him he was probably jealous over the michael jackson tribute on being the king.

bella | 9/15/2009, 2:40 pm EST

what beyonce did shows how classy she is and what kanye did shows how much of an ass he is! please ban him from award shows. And the worst part is that kanye didnt have the balls to up pick a damn phone and say sorry to taylor!! hes goin on tv twitter blogs and crap just to get more air time for himself. love taylor and beyonce.

elizebeth | 9/15/2009, 2:43 pm EST

i used to be one of the biggest fans of kanye west!! but now ive come to having zero amount of respect for him as an artist and more inportantly as a human.i cant believe he did that. uve let all ur fans down….

Mike | 9/15/2009, 4:30 pm EST

What’s with all the people acting like his actions are justified? I’ve lost both my parents, and I know many others that have, and they don’t walk around trying to make everybody else miserable. I highly doubt it was the death of his mother that possesed him to walk out on stage and humiliate Taylor. With all those people there, and all the people watching on tv. The stupid guy wanted some attention. He got it alright. Picking on little girls. Congrats man. That’s real gangster.

Nobama | 9/15/2009, 8:10 pm EST

Kanye just reaffaired all the stereotypes of someone with zero respect for others. And too bad there was no industry action to punish him.

Double Standards!

demon within 78 | 9/15/2009, 8:31 pm EST

lets cut the shit! west was so–like wrong. swift writes all her own stuff and whats west have? nothin. hes the true meaning of nothing!
QUOTE ME BUT ID BE HONORED TO KNOW TAYLOR SWIFT
THE DEMON WITHIN IS CHECKIN OUT

silly people | 9/16/2009, 1:29 am EST

not to sound like a skeptic, but this whole little “stunt” was clearly staged whether you like to admit it or not. West was conveniently slated to appear on a talk show which struggled with ratings as well as did MTV, and poof, this happens. Seems like the extra press is was a win-win…except for Kanye. read between the lines…

Far out... | 9/16/2009, 4:55 am EST

Can I swear on this site? If I can then i’d say how much of an idiot Kayne was cos TAYLOR SWIFT IS ONE OF MY TOP IDOLS!! Kayne is so retarded so I hope no one would get his CD’s anymore.. And also thnx to that I now have a new respect for Beyonce (not that I didn’t have any before)

Makoda | 9/16/2009, 8:07 am EST

Learn to be a gentle man Mr “Heartless”. Dump Ass….

Classy Beyonce | 9/16/2009, 9:05 am EST

Didn’t you people see the truth?!
The truth is that Beyonce is really really a great person before a talented superstar. I used to wonder that, why would I crazy over Beyonce for no reason? And I got it now! It’s not about how curvaceous is Beyonce’s figure, how beautifl is Beyonce, but about Beyonce’s graciousness has overwhelmed every of us, EVERY of us! That’s how we like Miss B!
Beyonce, I’m one of your no.1 fans!
Let me tell you know!
I LOVE YOU, BEYONCE!
FOREVER!

Let it Go | 9/16/2009, 1:56 pm EST

Ok, so Kanye,had one of his moments as before, it’s no surprise, the girl admitted she was reallly country and western singer, there’s too much politics in the award shows to begin with and that’s why Kanye did what he did. No big deal, what was appalling to me was the devil worshipper who was allow to come out for the heavymetal bullcrap award, Now, can you post this?

white section | 9/16/2009, 6:26 pm EST

Excuse me people but I have a serious question: DID KANYE WEST COMMIT A CRIME? Ok, he acted like a fool, but come on guys, calm down, he did not kill Taylor Swift. As far as I am concerned, I will buy his future albums.

zingwoot | 9/16/2009, 10:33 pm EST

testing…

zingwoot | 9/16/2009, 10:34 pm EST

I’m also an EX Kanye fan. I BURNED my Kanye CD and made a video of it. It may not make a difference, but made me feel better.

Search: I’M BURNING MY KAYNE WEST CD

kingoftheworld | 9/16/2009, 11:00 pm EST

Kanye is a genius.He never claimed to have great manners.Everyone calling Kanye a sub-par rapper, the man produces music for some of the biggest names in the industry (not just rap).Look at the bright side I didn’t know who Taylor Swift was this morning.She should mail Kanye a check. Furthermore Kanye is paid to entertain, I couldn’t be more entertained.

Kelly | 9/16/2009, 11:24 pm EST

I not a fan of Kanye, Taylor or Beyonce but being a sceptic, Beyonce was smart enough to grab the opportunity to make herself appear benevolent (after all she is more experienced than Taylor). *chuckles*

kanye is a douche | 9/17/2009, 11:39 pm EST

he is an absolute douchebag with no respect

Gary | 9/18/2009, 11:17 am EST

they should ban him from every award show in the future. if he wins any more, have him tape his acceptance rant/tantrum or give it via satellite. i can just picture him in the oscars ripping the microphone from steven spielberg’s hand! “I’mma let you finish, but my man marty scorsese made the best movie of ALL TIME! of ALL TIME!” (just random directors) hahahahahaha

voice of reason | 9/18/2009, 11:28 am EST

ok, he’s a narcisistic moron and a douche. that’s not news! how many times has he thrown a tantrum at an award show. but if you like his music (i REALLY don’t, but whatever), dont say you’re not a fan anymore! come on, michael jackson very probably committed a disgusting felony, but he will always be the king, and i will always be a fan. separate the “artist” from the person!

lynne | 9/19/2009, 3:48 pm EST

Joe Jonas is probably in hysterics laughing about this. The way Taylor Swift bashed him in her song and to anyone in tv/news that would listen.

jj | 9/19/2009, 3:52 pm EST
