2. People Will Never Forget That Time He Was Mean To Tay-Swift
Who are you meant to side with if you love both artists equally? Kanyes infamous quashing of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 did him little favours in terms of publicity. The rapper took to the stage during Tay-Swifts acceptance speech. She was collecting Best Female Video for You Belong to Me, and was left humiliated as West snatched the microphone from her hands and shouted to the audience that the award should have gone to his friend Beyonce, for Single Ladies. Poor Taylor. Humiliated at 19 (although she has made one hell of a career since then). Perhaps in this case Kanye was a bit out of line. Apparently hed been swigging cognac the whole evening, so maybe well put it down to drunkenness and move on swiftly.
