And wouldn’t it be nice to have Taylor come up and have her moment then?…I would normally not say anything, but I had two crying artists.” At some point, I let her know that she was probably going to be up on the podium at the end of the show for an award. He explained in the interview: “ was like, ‘I didn’t know this was going to happen, I feel so bad for her.’ And that’s when it started to click in my head, and maybe hers, about potentially having the whole arc play out in that one night. “I walk behind the stage-and sure enough, there is Beyoncé and her dad, and she is crying.” Aw! Bey! But luckily, Toffler had a solution for the tear-stained Queen. And in a recent interview, Viacom President Van Toffler discussed what happened after Kanye’s little outburst. No one really knew what was going on at that moment, but there were a lot of shocked faces. Kanye, who was apparently not supposed to be seated anywhere near the stage, jumped up on stage and took time out of Swift’s acceptance speech to essentially say Beyoncé should’ve won. It was unsettling for Swift, who was in the middle of an all-time high after winning Best Female Music Video for her hit, “You Belong With Me.” Kanye stated that Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” video was one of the best of all time (which I mean, true) but that didn’t excuse his behavior. Swift did too, according to a Viacom executive.

Well apparently, Beyoncé cried during Taylor Swift x Kanye West’s VMA 2009 drama. Remember when Kanye West jumped on to the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech? It was 2009.
