Beyonce finally comments on kooky Kanye: He was standing up for art, but noooooo
Beyonce has finally commented on the microphone snatch felt round the world.
The “Single Ladies” singer told “O: The Oprah Magazine” editor Gayle King she was horrified when Kanye West took to the stage, grabbed the mic and stole country/pop singer Taylor Swift’s spotlight during the 2009 MTV’s Video Music Awards.
West announced that he thought Beyonce should have won the award for Best Female Video instead of Swift.
According to MTV.com, Beyonce told King at Billboard magazine’s annual Women in Music event that said she understood West’s intention.
“I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award,’” Beyonce said according to MTV. “And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’”
What does art have to do with award shows anyway?
Beyonce proved herself a classy dame the night of the MTV award ceremony. SHe allowed Swift to complete the acceptance speech West interrupted.
What do you think? Was West standing up for art? Was Beyonce’s video the more artistic or was Taylor’s?
