Taylor Swift Wins Best Female Video Upsetting Kanye West

In true VMA form, the MTV awards show did not stick to the script.
The first winner of the night, Taylor Swift for best female video, was
victim to this when she was rudely and quickly interrupted by Kanye
West, who cut off her acceptance speech. He stole the microphone to
announce that fellow nominee Beyoncé had "one of the greatest videos
of all time," in "Single Ladies."
For her part, Beyoncé appeared shocked by the outburst and the crowd
booed the rapper. Off-camera, when West returned to his seat, audience
members gave a still-stunned Swift (who was ushered off the stage
before finishing her speech) a standing ovation.
Stars watching the show and tweeting immediately posted their thoughts
on the incident. "Kanye needs to learn how to wait his turn," Zac
Hanson wrote. "I am sure he will get plenty of mic time to say
something stupid later in the show."
Country singer John Rich went even further with his tweet: KanyeWest
is a lowlife. He needs to have his @@@ kicked in the middle of the
stage right now! What a piece of @@@@!!! Go TAYLOR SWIFT.

Kanye Being Kanye: Rapper Interrupts Taylor Swift's VMAs Win

Kanye West is known for speaking his mind and early on during the
VMAs, he didn't disappoint.
When Taylor Swift won Best Female Video for 'You Belong With Me,'
Kanye jumped onstage, grabbed the mike from the country singer's hands
and did what he does best.
"Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm a let you finish, but
Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he yelled, to many
boos. Swift had beat Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' for the award. And
according to an MTV source, Kanye is getting booted from the show for
his actions.
When the camera panned to the 'Ladies' hitmaker, Jay-Z's wife looked
visibly mortified. Meanwhile, Swift stood silently on the stage.
To make matters worse, Swift had to perform the song shortly after
Kanye's outburst.
