VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS

Kanye vs. Taylor Swift

Outburst overshadows Jackson tribute.

The MTV Video Music Awards always have a few memorable moments, and during Sunday’s presentation, it didn’t take long for another celebrity feud to erupt. Kanye West, who has notably freaked out after losing past VMAs, Grammys, and American Music Awards, jumped on stage after Beyoncé lost the Best Female Video award to young country singer Taylor Swift, saying "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.” Nineteen-year-old Swift didn’t even finish her speech and quickly followed up with a performance of “You Belong to Me.” Kanye West was booed by the crowd throughout the rest of the show, and after her win for Video of the Year, Beyoncé invited Swift up to the stage to have her moment. A memorable tribute to Michael Jackson headlined the event, with his sister Janet singing their duet “Scream” and a touching speech by Madonna. "Sometimes, we have to lose things before we can truly appreciate them," she said.
