But his outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, which involved him interrupting Taylor Swift&#8217;s Best Female Video acceptance speech to put over Beyonce&#8217;s &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; as the more deserving video, was nothing if not shocking.<\/p>\n<p>As West grabbed the microphone from the &#8220;You Belong with Me&#8221; singer and touted &#8220;Single Ladies&#8221; as one of the best videos of all-time, Swift&#8211;and much of the audience-stood in shock.  When West handed the microphone back to Swift, she looked completely stunned.<\/p>\n<p>The live MTV audience, and later singer Beyonce, showed love for the clearly-hurt Swift throughout the broadcast, but for many fans and viewers, nothing was going to eclipse the &#8220;did that just happen&#8221; incident from earlier in the night.<\/p>\n<p>It simply took mention of the name &#8220;Kanye West&#8221; to draw boos from the crowd later on, and based on web reports citing Kanye&#8217;s personal blog, the rapper agrees he was in the wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM.
