2009 MTV Video Music Awards Winners
The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards took place in Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, September 13, 2009.
Madonna opened the show talking about her experiences with Michael Jackson. After her speech, Janet Jackson paid tribute to her late brother by performing their duet, “Scream”. The show closed with a sneak preview of Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” movie.
After Taylor Swift begun her acceptance speech after winning Best Female Video, Kanye West appeared on stage, took the mic from Swift and said that he was happy for her, but Beyoncé had “one of the best videos of all time”. West was asked to leave the building shortly after his rant. For the rest of the night, every time West’s name was mentioned, the audience booed.
When Beyonce won the award for Best Video of the Year for “Single Ladies,” she called Swift up on stage to “have her moment.”
Lady Gaga gave a controversial performance of her new single “Paparazzi”. During the performance, she simulated being crushed by a chandelier, bleeding, and at the end of the performance appeared to hang herself. When she won the Video for “Best New Artist,” she dedicated the award to “God and the Gays.”

What Kanye West did was just wrong…
he needs to shut up and stop running his mouth so much
it was her moment not his,
Beyonce was nice and she is the best for doing what she did ♥
