Let's start with the reaction to "You Belong With Me." Although many critics at the time praised Swift for her dual performance as the ignored enamored best friend and the pretty, bitchy cheerleader, many others found the video a little sappy and too much of a rom-com. I'm sorry, Swift, but Beyoncé really did have one of the best videos of all time in "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." How do I know? Well, let's break it down. However, I'm sorry to be the one to break it to the Swifties, but in hindsight, West was speaking the truth. Whether you agreed with what he was saying or not, that was still a really terrible thing to do to a 19-year-old girl. He was definitely in the wrong to leap up onstage and ruin Swift's first time winning an MTV Video Music Award.
But now, five years later, it's worth considering. Ever blunt Kanye West snatched the microphone out of Taylor Swift's hands when she went onstage to accept her award for Best Female Video and informed Swift in a line that would soon become an insanely hilarious meme: "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." At the time, none of us could believe that West could be that much of a jerk to then-rising star Swift, and even Beyoncé later allowed Swift to come onstage during Beyoncé's own award acceptance to finish her speech.
Honestly, I don't remember much of it, but I do remember a certain infamous incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. It was a simple time in our lives in 2009.
