So, that whole VMA/Kanye West/Taylor Swift thing:

I personally thing that "Single Ladies" and "So What" were better videos than Taylor Swift's video for "You Belong To Me". But "So What" wasn't going to win because it's from earlier in the year. Same with "Hot and Cold" or whatever the hell that Katy Perry song was. And lord knows from what I've seen (which is amusing, as I totally haven't paid attention) that the fight was actually between "Single Ladies" and "Poker Face".

That's probably what happened - the pop vote split between Beyo and Lady Gaga, so the third viable current option won. Taylor is a hard working kid. And I don't care who won, but disrespecting the winner by snatching the mic from their hands to exalt someone else is just tacky.

Sadly, we'll never know what would have happened if Kanye had done that to Pink. We can guess, though. It would probably end with Kanye sporting a black eye or a broken nose.

(Bonus love for Nickelodeon kids being more mature than Kanye.)

ETA: Love that Pink is Twittering support for Taylor.

He gets on my nerves, because I tend to like his music, but then he pulls things like this and I want to kick him.

That was just...wow.

I felt so bad for Taylor, who clearly had no idea how to react.

Considering what I've heard Taylor say about how hard it was for her in school, because she was the weird kid that writes poetry and had a music career, it honestly felt like she was having to relive a high school moment all over again - in front of millions. As Katy Perry said, it was like someone stepping on a kitten.

Here's hoping the country music crowd doesn't get all up in arms, though, because the VMA folks kicked Kanye out and Beyonce brought Taylor up to give a speech, which should effectively end it.

I wish he'd done that to Pink. It would be a whole new Facebook and YouTube. More like "Kanye gets his arse handed to him live on VMA.

As it was, Pink handed him his ass on Twitter. She was livid on behalf of Taylor. Man, she would have kicked so much butt and it would have been awwwwweeeesome.
