Beyonce Wins VMAs Video of the Year, Gives Taylor Swift Her Moment

Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” picks up “Video of the Year” at the 2009 MTV VMAs, beating out Britney Spears, Eminem, Kanye West and Lady Gaga.

The 28-year-old singer said, “Thank you. I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor [Swift] to come out and have her moment.” How thoughtful of Beyonce!!!

Taylor finally got her time in the spotlight, saying, “I’d like to thank all the fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer. Thank you so much!”

Taylor and Beyonce hugged both before and after Taylor‘s speech.

Earlier in the evening, Kanye West stole Taylor‘s thunder by interrupting her acceptance speech to praise Beyonce.

Way to go Beyonce- you are a high class act! Too bad others did not show the same class and respect at the VMA’s as you did. This is why you will be an unforgettable icon-and others will be forgotten VERY soon. I have just deleted all Kanye songs out of my library- he makes me sick. You will always be admired not only for your incredible talent but also your graciousness!

Great thing to do! Congrats to both of u for the win and congrats Bey for the gesture! And Kanye, you can go kanye yourself!

aw
that was really classy

@ Dan. kaynes a **** but theres no need to be calling nobody a ******, it is extremely offensive you raging son of a *****

That was so rude of Kayne West! I couldm’t believe he did that -.-
Beyonce was such a sweetie (: love her!
And congratulations to Taylor ;D

soooooooooo sweet :) love her !

nice beyoncee !! she is soo kind im glad for taylor
that iidiot kayne was so stupid

OMG!!!!! That guy is a man *****, how could he… gosh!!! damn it bro, get a damn life, and leave that country happy girl alone!!! she deserved that award, happily, Beyonce is a woman of feelings and understood her situation.
That was very sweet of her
Lets all kill Kanye lol

Beyonce ROCKED!!

Beyonce AND Taylor are great *-*

Boycott Kanye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think some people need to look up the word racist. Kanye isn’t racist, he’s an arrogant a-hole yes, but racist, no.

Love Beyonce and Taylor. That girl is goofily sweet and talented!

Beyonce was so sweet……. and Taylor is a cute girl, she deserves the astronaut…KISSES FROM BRAZIL!!!!!!!

Kanye West is an *******. This is why I like Beyonce she is such a wonderful person.

Love Love Love Beyonce!

classy lady beyonce, classy lady…she and talyor both deserved their awards tonight

thank you bey. me and my mom were saying when tim was doing red carpet and the bodygaurd covered the camera and beyonce was like, “excuse me?” lol. it was hilarious. what wasn’t so hilarious was that t_u_r_d kanye doing what he did again. like he always get free pass to do whatever and people always saying he’s right or he’s saying what we all thinking. now don’t get me wrong. i love taylor swift and i love beyonce and i even like kanye and gaga and all these people because they make music, and they better than me cause they put it out there, but what the fcuk was this mother f’n c_u_n_t doing. like he just needs to stop. here’s his meltdown http://www.proof-of-life.net/blog.html

the internet it alive and people are backing taylor and i say good for us. this dude is an idiot. if it wasn’t proven before it was now. i mean i was angry as hell that taylor swift won, because i thought beyonce would have gotten it, but you know what it’s a fcuken vote and you know taylor swift has been on her game. i have been reading everywhere how many records she’s sold and keeps selling and how her tickets have been selling. i swear. she’s actually doing a really really really good job. i mean seriously for someone her age, not in a girl group, singing country-country pop whatever she’s singing. and she’s not some fake a$$ hwood type person. so you know what this dude kanye west needs to know that he can’t always get away with anything. i was shocked as hell and i think my mom had to tell me to shut up (first cause i was angry taylor won, and then STUPID kanye had to ruin the moment) but you know what FCUK kanye west and his 808′s and heartbreaks. his wbesite’s shut down right now cause of so much traffic. i hope everyone who was offended, shocked, pissed off, whatever makes it known on the web. i mean this show ISN’T ABOUT KANYE WEST! ugh. he must have not been listening to russell’s lets all love/spread the love in the name of MJ. lol. kanye west is on the douchebag list. a$$hole.

see she has class.

That was really sweet of her!

very classy Beyonce’. You didn’t have to do it but you did. You are awesome.

@Dan:

Fck you, you racist piece of crap!!!!!
.
Why do you have to sling around racist slurs?? It’s so unnecessary. Kanye being black has nothing to do with this.
.
In case you didn’t notice, you sick fcker, Beyonce is ALSO black and she made amends with Taylor.
.
You’re lucky you’re behind a computer. I’d beat the sh!t out of you right now for being a stupid a**!!!!!

Kanye is an idiot and who is he to say what he said during Taylor’s moment? I personally do not think that he should be allowed to attend these sort of events if he cannot act reasonably. He has serious problems. He cries and complains too much and I will not listen to any of his music ever!

kanye did a good job further proving what a douchebag he truly is. kudos to beyonce for having class and letting taylor have her moment.
