Just moments after Taylor Swift won Best Female Video category in MTV’s VMAs, and began her acceptance speech, Kenye West stormed the stage, taking the microphone from Taylor to announce Beyonce deserved the award. According to staffers there, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye’s outburst.
Here are the responses from celebrities who witnessed West’s outburst:
Katy Perry on her twitter:
“FUCK U KANYE. IT’S LIKE U STEPPED ON A KITTEN.”
Pink, who also lost in the Best Female Video category, reportedly had to be restrained by security from approaching West after his rant. So, Pink instead turned to her twitter and wrote: “Kanye West is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.” Pink also said, “I was there. It was the one time I really, really wished I would’ve won because I had this amazing 
Alexander McQueen purse with brass knuckles on it. Honestly, I don’t think it would’ve happened if I was there on stage. Taylor Swift is awesome… I think he’s just a waste, he’s an idiot, he’s a toolbox.”
Kelly Clarkson actually wrote a letter to Kanye on her blog – IAmKelly:
Dear Kanye,
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seem you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you… which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really?
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her… so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole… I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.
Joel Madden: Wow Taylor Swift’s first VMA and she didn’t even get to ENJOY it. Kanye You were just a bully on that one man.
Kelly Pickler: Tator Tot, you handled yourself with grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!
Greg Grunberg (of Heroes) on his twitter: I just realized what Kanye West stands for.. UNFOLLOW !!
Christina Applegate: I love seeing good people doing even greater things. Beyonce is a class act. Now, on the other hand seeing douches doing douchy things….
All-American Rejects – Mike Kennerty: Kanye West is a fucking asshole!
Maria Menounos: Thinking of my last image of Taylor as she’s finished with her performance… tears. She waited her whole life for this moment – Kanye ruined it.
Ricky Martin: kanye. what an asshole dude.
.. and you think that’s all. Even President Obama thinks Kanye is a jackass.. [link]
