Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift VMA award acceptance speech

Timelines Involved

Analysis

As Taylor Swift was accepting her award for "Best Female Video", Kanye West gets on stage and says Beyonce had the best music video of all time and then precedes to get off the stage. After Beyonce won her own award she allowed Taylor Swift to speak during her time. Taylor Swift afterwards was interviewed about her thoughts. Kanye West got severe backlash for this apologizing many times on talk shows, got called a "jackass" by Obama, had thoughts about suicide, moved out of the country, then moving to Hawaii to work on an album for his "redemption". Kanye was seen with a bottle of Hennessy throughout the night so some people believe that to be the cause of him doing something like this.
