Taylor Swift Wins Best Female Video – Upsetting Kanye West
Originally posted 09/13/2009 09:00PM
In true VMA form, the MTV awards show did not stick to the script.
The first winner of the night, Taylor Swift for best female video, was victim to this when she was rudely and quickly interrupted by Kanye West, who cut off her acceptance speech. He stole the microphone to announce that fellow nominee Beyoncé had "one of the greatest videos of all time," in "Single Ladies."
"I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I'd just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage," Swift recalled after the show. "And then I wasn't excited anymore after that."
For her part, Beyoncé appeared shocked by the outburst and the crowd booed the rapper. Off-camera, when West returned to his seat, audience members gave a still-stunned Swift (who was ushered off the stage before finishing her speech) a standing ovation.

With the MTV Video Music Awards coming up Sept. 13, Taylor Swift, who's set to perform for the first time at this year's bash in New York City, is looking for fashion inspirations.
"I think with the VMAs it's all about color and being risky," Swift says in an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the country starlet's West Side Story-themed VMA promo, which will start airing on MTV on Friday night.
Whose style standard is she following?
"I think Rihanna has always been amazing at the VMAs," she says. "Everything that she's decided to do as far as fashion on the red carpet, she takes chances."

Jonas Brothers Call Russell Brand 'Hilarious'

Forgive and forget? That seems to be the Jonas Brothers' attitude toward Russell Brand.
In England to promote their Disney movie Camp Rock, the brothers say they were not upset at the British comedian for taking swipes at their purity rings and pledges of virginity during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.
"For us it's cool to see that he recognizes we are gentleman," Nick Jonas said Tuesday during an appearance on BBC Radio's Newsbeat program.
Plus, the teen stars say, they had an army of fans by their side.
Said Kevin: "We had a lot of friends there and everybody's so nice. We had a good time."

Britney 'Getting Opportunity to Start Over' at VMAs
Originally posted 09/07/2008 12:00PM
Britney Spears is back. Or at least she will be – in some capacity.
The pop star will again openMTV's Video Music Awards, which will broadcast live from Los Angeles's
Paramount Studios on Sunday night (9 p.m. ET). But unlike last year, where
Spears delivered a memorable (and critically derided performance, the pop star
is not expected to perform on the show.)
"She gets an opportunity to start over again," hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri told PEOPLE at Friday's TAG Records Official MTV VMA Kickoff party in Hollywood at Avalon. "A lot of people don't get a chance to do that again. I just hope she kills it."
And the man who's helped launch the careers of platinum artists TLC, Kris Kross and Da Brat added, "Last time, I didn't think her performance was that bad, but people ragged her so bad, then I saw the press."
So what will she do?
