Kanye apologises for MTV outburst
Rap star Kanye West has said sorry for interrupting the acceptance speech of singer Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in New York.
The musician stormed the stage to tell the audience Beyonce should have won best female video prize.
Madonna made a personal tribute to Michael Jackson at the ceremony, saying she felt she had "abandoned him" and "felt his pain".
The late star's sister Janet recreated the dance moves from their duet Scream.
'Magnificent creature'
West jumped onto the stage after Swift scooped the award, and said: "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."
The audience jeered, and Beyonce, who won video of the year and two other awards for Single Ladies, later invited Swift back onto the stage to complete her acceptance speech.

West wrote on his blog later: "I'm soooo sorry to Taylor Swift, 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."



If I was an awards organiser, I'd seriously think twice about inviting him along if he's going to invade the stage and have a moan every time he disagrees with an award. The guy is an egotistical prick and his music isn't even that good.

I agree with you. I cannot imagine allowing him near a live mic or camera. He is a loose cannon.

and if you look at the audience part there seems to be geniune joy that a young girl who seems geniunely nice won that award.....its a good job pink hadn't won it because she'd have probably planted that award around his head and kicked him all over the stage

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.

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.”
