This is the infamous photo of the very awkward and shocking moment last year at the 2009 VMA'S (MTV Video Music Awards) between country/pop teen princess Taylor Swift, and Rapper/Producer Kanye West. I believe that in general we had all become accustomed to Kanye West and his outbursts and outspoken statements at awards shows but we can all come to agreement that this one trumped them all. we pretty much all know what happened Taylor was about to accept her first VMA when Kanye waltzed up and declared the the award should have went to Beyonce,

| (Bey's Reaction to Kanye's Comment) |
a Kanye shoulder shrug or two and he was off backstage, while millions of viewers overloaded twitter and facebook with comments and updates with questions and disbelief. some thought it was a publicity stunt, some even thought it was the work the Illuminati in some crazed music ritual that some how involved Lady Gaga. The sad part is sometimes as fans we go to extremes when it comes to our favorite artists, many Taylor Swift fans could be seen on twitter writing hate messages about Kanye stating that he should have died for what he did, (died .. really people?) or that Taylor Swift is simply famous because of what Kanye did coming from West supporters. (although i believe that this sort of publicity in the entertainment business can help, its not like the girl didn't already have a following and talent to begin with.)
But through a year of controversy & media play Kanye began to open up about his actions about a week before the 2010 VMA's on his twitter page he apologized again to Taylor & the world for what he did .
