Beyonce Knowles won Video of the Year at the MTV "2009 Video Music Awards," only to give Taylor Swift the microphone so she could accept her award for Best Female Video.

Swift was ambushed by Kanye West earlier in the show when she went to give her acceptance speech. West declared that it was Beyonce that deserved the award.

Joining Beyonce onstage, Swift said, "Let's try this again."
