During the 2007 VMAs in Las Vegas, West delivered another rant and lost his temper after he was displeased with his performance being set inside a hotel suite rather than on the show's main stage.
'Ye's rants are usually in support of his own work. He memorably took the stage at the American Music Awards in 2004, declaring he was robbed of the Best New Artist nod.
His protest against Swift, however, was not well received. West stood briefly on the stage after his comments as the crowd was silent. Audience members then began to clap in support of Swift after West left the stage.
According to reports from inside the house, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat. Wale then said to the crowd, "You can't blame a man for speaking his mind." His words were met with boos, and Wale then said, "Kanye, I tried." During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away. West remained steadfast amidst the commotion as he kissed his girlfriend Amber Rose.

When Kanye did that, I was pretty pissed. You don't kill a great moment in someone's life by saying that someone else should be the winner.

Yup. I didn't watched that live and I thought the news was just exaggerating the news. But when I saw the repeated show on AXN, then I understand why the entertainment industry was so angry about that.

Yeah. Taylor was really upset. She almost didn't perform that night. You can tell a ton of people wanted to pop Kanye for what he did.

This is something... I bet Kanye will lose some fan's support for doing that?

I heard Taylor almost DIDN'T perform because of what that asshole did.
They sometimes play her songs over the loudspeaker at work. Usually "Love Story". Occasionally "Fifteen".

The white car in the video is Ecto-1 from my all-time favorite movie "Ghostbusters".

Yep. She also sang a song called "Tim McGraw". That was her first single.
This morning, "Fearless" & "Picture To Burn" both played on CMT.
