“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’m gonna let you finish … but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!” Kanye exclaimed to a booing audience.
The camera quickly cut to a very shocked Beyonce and by the time Kanye shrugged his shoulders and left the stage, Taylor was at a loss for words and didn’t even get to finish her acceptance speech. What a way to remember your very first moon man. Kanye and his girl, Amber Rose, were later asked to leave the venue.
