Kanye West storms the VMAs stage during Taylor Swift's Speech
This article was published by Daniel Kreps on September 13, 2009

At 2009 VMAs, Taylor beat Beyonce in the category off Best Female Video. A few moments after Taylor gets into her speech Kanye gets on stage and interrupts her "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you but Beyonce had one of the bests videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time" Before you know it Taylor's time had run out and MTV cut to a video of Eminem and Tracy Morgan.

According to Radio City Kanye was kicked out after this insulting act.

Later Kanye wrote an apology on his blog 

"I'm sooooo sorry to taylor swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! i'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!. beyonce's video was the best of this decade! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down! I'm sorry to my friends at mtv. I will apologize to taylor 2mrw. welcome to the real world! everybody wanna booooo me but i'm a fan of real pop culture! No disrespect but we watchin' the show at the crib right now cause ... well you know! i'm still happy for taylor! Boooyaaawwww! you are very very talented! I gave my awards to outkast when they deserved it over me... that's what it is!! i'm not crazy yall, i'm just real. Sorry for that! I really feel bad for taylor and i'm sincerely sorry! Much respect!!"

Being known as a talented artist seems to be a good enough reason for Kanye to have such huge ego he possesses. But does being a great artist give you the right to treat others badly? Yes, at least according from Kanye's actions.

I choose this article because not only did it show what a egotistic person Kanye is, but it also was one of Kanye's most memorable moments. I find it ironic wow Kanye most memorable moment had to do with his ego. That just proves that his ego plays a big part of this life. This article connects to the blog post about the MTV Europe Music Awards because they are both are events that happened on TV and had to do with his ego. The main reasoning of choosing this article is to provide information on Kanye's ego to help the viewers of this blog determine whether Kanye and his ego has gone too far or not.
