Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Beyoncé MTV VMAs 2009 update

Kanye kicked to the curb; cries in caps

The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards have come to an end and so much has already happened since Kanye West took to the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video to declare that Beyoncé Knowles should have instead won.

The most hilarious thing about Kanye's outburst?

It was all for nothing.

Beyoncé went on to win Video Of The Year later in the night.

As she accepted her award, gracious Ms. Knowles invited Taylor back on stage to finish her speech.

"I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life," B said. "So I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment."

Said Taylor, "Maybe we can try this again ... thanks to all of my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer."

It was a happier end to the night, which had proven rather traumatic for the 19-year-old country star.

Jay-Z’s DJ, Neil Armstrong, tweeted that he spotted Taylor and her mother in tears backstage.

@djneilarmstrong just so y'all know, homegirl taylor and her moms was in the back crying :(

That’s right: EVIL KANYE MADE TAYLOR CRY.

At the press conference after winning her award, Taylor spoke about the stage crash.

“I was really excited, because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was onstage,” she said. “And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.”

But Swifty wasn’t about to get into a slanging match with Kanye, saying she was a fan of his music but had never met him before. “I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.”

Adding with a laugh, “It’s definitely been an interesting night.”

MTV has confirmed that Kanye was "asked to leave" the event, but not before he was booed by the audience when he returned to his seat.

Pink – who we LOVE – apparently had to be held back by security when she spotted Kanye. GO PINK!

Later in the show the audience booed when Diddy read Kanye’s name as a nominee for Best Male Video.

Kanye, whose arrogance is a poor cover for his low self-esteem, was obviously stunned by the fact that the people had turned on the greatest entertainer of all time (on the very night that Madonna and Janet Jackson paid tribute to Michael Jackson) and rushed to his blog to “apologise” … ALL IN CAPSLOCK AS USUAL.

Wow, so heartfelt.
