Taylor Swift speaks about Kanye West’s interruption of speech


Country singer Taylor Swift has spoken about Kanye West’s interruption of her VMA acceptance speech.

The 19-year-old won the award for Best Female Video but was interrupted when Kanye West joined her on stage and said that he believed Beyonce should have won.

Talking about the incident backstage, she said: “It has been a crazy night, hasn’t it? Well, you know, I was up there and I was standing there and I saw Kanye up on the stage.

“I was excited… and I kind of wasn’t excited any more.”

Taylor then got her moment to give her speech when Beyonce won Video of the Year and gave Taylor her stage time.

Talking about Beyonce’s gesture, Taylor said: “You know, they told me to be ready just in case she might want to say something.

“It was just so wonderful and so incredibly classy of her and just gracious and wonderful to let me say something. She’s just been my hero and one of my idols ever since I was little. She’s a great person.”
