Kanye’s Taylor Swift Outburst at the VMAs

September 13, 2009 | Category: Miscellaneous | Author: John

By now, you should already be aware of Kanye West’s on-stage outburst during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for “Best Female Video” at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. For the sake of the consistency of this website, Dress Like Kanye West, I will not shed my opinion on the subject like every other blog and social media outlet. I prefer to keep it positive and discuss strictly fashion-related Kanye topics. That being said, from what I saw on TV, Kanye wore aviator-like sunglasses, a black short-sleeve button down shirt, light washed Balmain Destroyed Biker Jeans, and black 6-inch Timberland boots. In case you missed it, here’s official MTV footage of the incident between Kanye and Taylor Swift.

    He lost 4 fans out of this house. It is time to grow up be responsible for your actions Kanye and quit talking big about everyone else’s action. Obviously ZERO class and thank god for beyonnce having some class about her, since you seem to dig her perhaps you should learn from her example. his last album was brilliant it is such a shame but we spoke about it tonight all of us prefer his music and Beyonnce’s to Taylors, however we just cannot support that kind of loose cannon bs. There are too many good artists to listen to without supporting ignorant no class behavior like tonight’s from him. Last straw for this house we are turning Kanye off.
    and to top it off on a night when it was supposed to be respect for a pop legend who started as a kid himself, rest at peace Micheal. It baffles the mind.
    night all

    i agree with JF, he was Harsh, rude, disrespectful and many other things but u cant deny his talent and his style AND he did say the truth, Beyonce should’ve won that! which makes me think how does the VMAs voting really works.

    He tried to wear that piece of crap that Amber Rose had on- but he is a castrata so it wouldn’t have looked good anyway

    It’s a damn shame to come on a blog about Kanye and to see people who love his fashion,music,and lifestyle but then to bash him,like come get serious people….One dude stated about how the VMA’s voting is…Idk and I wish to find out also cuz Beyonce has been killing the radio and clubs from that ONE ALBUM….and let this be known….MTV AIN’T SHIT…THEY SHOULD LOSE THE DAMN M BECUZ THEY ONLY AIR MUSIC VIDEOS AT 4AM-8AM…REST OF THE DAY ITS JUST BULLSHIT SHOWS THAT ARE ANNOYINGLY SCRIPTED….96% OF MTV IS REALITY CRAP AND 4% IS MUSIC…HOW CAN YOU HAVE VMA’S WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN AIR VIDEOS? AND THE VMA’S IS NOT THE GRAMMY’S OR AMA’S SO PEOPLE LET’S HOP OFF THE FxCK KANYE DICK CUZ IF YOU WERE REAL FANS YOU SHOULDN’T BE ON THIS BLOG COPYING DUDES SWAG…REAL TALK

Everyone knws how kanye is @ award shows so this didn’t shock me one bit but he was wrong tho cuz she looked very hurt. But kanye aplogized on jay leno so it shouldn’t matter. You guys act he ate some babies on stage or somthing. Im still gonna by his music and continue to look @ this site so I swagger jack his style just like all of you do lol peace

    Personally I don’t give a damn about what he did at the VMAs, sit his ass in the back next year and be done with it. If Kanye doesn’t make a scene at the VMAs then it’s not the VMAs. He’ll be there next year and you guys will watch…

    Now more importantly what kind of shirt was that it’s the flyest thing I have seen all year.

    Yeah, Kanye was incredibly rude but this is just being overly publicized and is being blown out of proportion. Sheesh ppl calm down.
    I like his swag though.
