Washington, Sept 14 (ANI): Singer Taylor Swift’s excitement of winning the Best Female Video award was marred by Kanye West when he jumped up on the stage and stated that Beyonce Knowles should have won.

The 19-year-old songtress won the Best Female Video award for ‘You Belong With Me’ but as she started her acceptance speech, West, who had been drinking Hennessy on the red carpet appeared on stage and stated that Beyonce should have won for “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” reports Usmagazine.com.

He said, “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m going to let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Swift and Beyonce, who was in the audience, were left stunned and speechless.

The crowed then booed West off stage.

However, Knowles let Swift have her moment when she won ‘Video of the Year’ award at the MTV Video Music Awards.

She asked Swift to join her on stage and said, “I remember being 17-years old, up for my first MTV award for Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life.”

“So I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment,” she added. (ANI)
