2009 VMAs Kanye vs. Taylor Swift
There are some moments in pop culture that seem so unbelievable that it can be hard to comprehend how someone let them happen. But it is often these moments of complete shock that go on to shape the way that we view certain things and people. And sometimes these things start out as completely shocking and later turn into a joke or something more complex that we can talk about.
At the time when Kanye disrupted Taylor Swift on stage while she was accepting the award for Best Female Video Clip of 2009, the world looked on in shock. Was this really happening? Whilst they might have somewhat smoothed things over since then, we hope that something like this wouldn’t happen today. We would like to think that men today would create more space for women in the music industry than steal the mic away when they are trying to accept an award.
