By now you would have heard about what a massive douche Kanye West was at the VMAs.
If you haven’t, bottom line, Taylor Swift beat out Beyonce for an award, the 20-year-old got up on stage to give her acceptance speech for her first ever VMA award, and then Kanye West jumps on stage and starts blabbing on about how Beyonce should have won.
Then, they play the music, and Taylor’s moment is sufficiently shat on and ruined.
And then she had to perform after that.
While Swift’s feel-good, white horse bullshit churns our stomach half the time, she’s still a 20-year-old girl who is achieving so much – and had her moment of glory completey fucked up by the egos of one of the biggest douchebags in popular music history.
Usually, I’ll defend Kanye. I love his music, and for the most part, his egotistic bullshit is usually justified because he’s as good as he boasts.
However, this Taylor Swift business was completely out of line.
Thankfully, Beyoncé is one of the classiest women on the face of the earth, and perhaps the only class left in pop, and when she won an award later on in the evening, she brought Swift back on stage, hugged her, and let her have her moment.
*GOOSEBUMPS*
Isn’t that nice?
In yet another "fanning the flames" PR move, Kanye West thought he could save face by apologizing – offline – on the Jay Leno.
Did it work? Do you think the masses will forgive Kanye if he does, indeed, "take some time off" and take a fucking chill pill?
