Taylor Swift, the cutest American country pop singer, won Best Female Video in MTV’s Video Music Awards and bested out Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce. 

She took the stage to accept the award and deliver her thanks when Kanye West suddenly jumped on stage and grabbed her microphone to declare that Beyonce should have won because she had the best videos of all time. 

The crowd booed the Kanye interruption and Kanye stormed off stage.  Swift was left on stage flabbergasted looking at the floor before she was ushered off stage.  Beyonce was as stunned as Taylor Swift.

Watch what happened

**UPDATE**

Beyonce won Best Video of the Year, the biggest award of the VMA show, and generously shared the spotlight with Taylor Swift.  Beyonce danced her way to the stage, with the Single Ladies playing on the background.  “Wow, this is amazing.  I remember being 17 years old, up for my 1^st MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment…”

She then calls Taylor to the stage, “where are you?”  The crowd cheered in uproar.  Taylor comes out in a red ensemble as well, different from her silver backless gown she wore earlier during her acceptance speech, approaches Beyonce and gives her a hug.

“Maybe we could do this again,” Swift opened her statement.  Like any grateful kid, she thanked the director of the video, including the fans who followed her on MySpace and Twitter and her brother’s high school for the video venue.
