24 chimesThe 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will forever be remembered not for the winners or the crazy performances, but for Kanye West's bumrushing the stage during Taylor Swift's big moment. The interruption heard 'round the world came when the 19-year-old country star won the award for best female video, and the hip-hop star felt the need to tell the crowd that Beyonce was more deserving. Luckily the "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" singer made things right when she won for video of the year and invited Taylor onstage to finish her acceptance speech. "I was up for my first MTV award with Destiny's Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life," Beyonce said. "So I'd like for Taylor to come out and have her moment." Now that's class.
