Taylor Swift Humiliated by Kanye West at the VMAs

West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's VMAs and said that Beyonce deserved to win.

"I was standing on the stage, and I was really excited because I had just won the award," Swift said after Sunday's show at Radio City Music Hall. "And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage. And then I wasn't so excited anymore after that."

Beyonce, nominated for best female video for "Single Ladies," was bested by Swift, the best-selling artist of the year outside of Jackson. The 19-year-old was giddy when she won for her clip "You Belong With Me," saying, "I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen."

But West ruined her moment when he jumped on stage at Radio City Music Hall.

"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo West.

A crestfallen Swift didn't finish her speech, but the crowd applauded her anyway. She later performed "You Belong With Me" in a subway station.

Swift later got her chance, courtesy of Beyonce, who won video of the year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." When she won, she recalled that she won her first VMA as a 17-year-old as part of Destiny's Child.

"I remember how excited I was," she said. "I'd like Taylor to come out and have her moment."
