The outspoken rapper Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video at MTV's "2009 Video Music Awards," declaring Beyonce Knowles's music video should have won the moon man.

"Beyonce had one of the best videos of the year," he said, taking the microphone from Swift.

Swift, looking taken aback, left the stage following West's outburst.
