Pada tanggal 13 September 2009, [[Taylor Swift]] memenangkan salah satu piala [[MTV]] Video Awards 2009 dengan kategori Best Female Video. Saat akan mengucapkan pidato terima kasihnya, tiba-tiba West langsung naik ke panggung dan merebut mikrofon yang sedang dipegang oleh Swift. "Selamat atas kemenanganmu, tetapi [[Beyonce]] tetap mempunyai video terbaik. Videonya adalah salah satu video terbaik sepanjang masa," ujar West dengan nada menyindir Swift. Swift sendiri malah kebingungan dengan kejadian itu, sedangkan Beyonce terlihat ''shock''. Setelah itu, seluruh penonton dalam acara tersebut, termasuk selebriti yang namanya ada di dalam nominasi Best Female Video seperti [[Pink (penyanyi)|Pink]], [[Katy Perry]], dan [[Lady Gaga]], sontak menyoraki Kanye untuk turun dari panggung. Tidak hanya itu, Kanye pun diusir dari acara.<ref name="Cnn.com">{{cite news|first=Lisa|last=Respers|title=Anger over West's disruption at MTV awards|date=September 14, 2009|access-date=September 15, 2009|website=[[CNN]]|url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/09/14/kanye.west.reaction/index.html}}</ref><ref name="rollingstone.com">{{cite magazine|title=Kanye West Storms the VMAs Stage During Taylor Swift's Speech|date=September 13, 2009|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=September 13, 2009|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/kanye-west-storms-the-vmas-stage-during-taylor-swifts-speech-20090913?rand=84857|archive-date=January 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130119133749/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/kanye-west-storms-the-vmas-stage-during-taylor-swifts-speech-20090913?rand=84857|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|last=Vozick|first=Simon|url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2009/09/13/kanye-west-taylor-swift/|title=Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift's VMAs moment: What was he thinking? by Simon Vozick-Levinson|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=September 13, 2009|access-date=September 5, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101118015021/http://music-mix.ew.com/2009/09/13/kanye-west-taylor-swift/|archive-date=November 18, 2010}}</ref>
 
Setelah kejadian tersebut, Beyonce memenangkan award ketiganya malam itu, yaitu Best Video (penghargaan tertinggi pada acara tersebut). Ia secara pribadi meminta Swift untuk maju dan menyelesaikan pidatonya yang sempat terputus, dan Swift melanjutkan pidato. Pasca hari itu, "Hot Topic" di Twitter adalah "Kanye West", "Taylor Swift", dan "MVA".
 
Penyanyi country [[John Rich]] mengatakan bahwa perbuatan Kanye memalukan. "Ia (West) harusnya belajar untuk menerima kekalahan sahabatnya, bukan melakukan hal yang aneh seperti itu". Penyanyi Pink juga meluapkan kemarahannya dalam kicauannya di twitter. "West is the best piece of shi- in the world! Quote me!," ujar penyanyi tersebut. Ia sangat menyayangkan perilaku Kanye tidak menghargai kemenangan Swift. Begitu juga dengan Lady Gaga dan Katy Perry.
 
Di sisi lain, West meyakini ia hanya membicarakan kebenaran yang ia yakini. "Semua orang ingin menyoraki saya, tetapi saya adalah penggemar ''pop culture'' sesungguhnya, saya tidak gila, saya hanyalah orang yang mengutarakan pendapat saya," kicau West di twitternya. Tak lama, ia memposting dua blog permintaan maafnya di laman pribadinya mengenai kejadian tersebut, tetapi dihapus.
 
West juga mengutarakan permintaan maafnya pada acara [[The Jay Leno Show]]. Setelah Swift menghadiri acara [[The View]], tepat dua hari setelah kejadian tersebut, sebagian membahas kejadian tersebut, West meminta maaf kepada Swift secara pribadi. Swift mengatakan bahwa ia memaafkan West. West dikritik oleh berbagai selebriti atas aksinya,<ref name="Cnn.com"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2009/best-female-video/|title=2009 MTV Video Music Awards—Best Female Video|publisher=MTV|access-date=September 15, 2009}}</ref><ref name="latfallout">{{cite news|url=https://latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-et-kanye-fallout15-2009sep15,0,4346169.story|title=Kanye West expresses Swift regret on blog and 'The Jay Leno Show'|date=September 15, 2009|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=September 15, 2009|first1=Todd|last1=Martens|first2=Yvonne|last2=Villarreal}}</ref><ref name="MTV">{{cite web|title=Adam Lambert, Donald Trump, Joe Jackson Slam Kanye West's VMA Stunt|website=[[MTV]]|date=September 13, 2009|access-date=September 13, 2009|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1621475/adam-lambert-donald-trump-joe-jackson-slam-kanye-wests-vma-stunt/}}</ref> dan oleh Presiden [[Barack Obama]], yang menyebut West sebagai "orang bodoh".<ref name="BBCquote">{{cite news|title=Obama calls Kanye West a jackass|publisher=BBC News|date=September 16, 2009|access-date=September 16, 2009|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8258330.stm}}</ref><ref name="politico.com">{{cite web|first=Patrick|last=Gavin|title=Obama calls Kanye 'jackass'|publisher=[[The Politico]]|date=September 15, 2009|access-date=September 15, 2009|url=http://www.politico.com/click/stories/0909/did_obama_call_kanye_a_jackass.html}}</ref><ref name="people.com">{{cite web|title=Audio: President Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'|date=September 15, 2009|access-date=September 16, 2009|work=[[People (magazine)|People]]|url=http://www.people.com/package/article/0,,20302940_20304704,00.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121205110150/http://www.people.com/package/article/0,,20302940_20304704,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 5, 2012}}</ref><ref name="www.foxnews.com">{{cite news|title=Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'|date=September 15, 2009|access-date=September 16, 2009|publisher=[[Fox News Channel]]|url=http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/15/obama-calls-kanye-west-jackass/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090916180832/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/15/obama-calls-kanye-west-jackass/|archive-date=September 16, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Insiden tersebut memicu masuknya banyak foto [[meme]] di Internet.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=October 3, 2009|url=http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/09/16/kanye-wests-vma-interruption-photos/|title=Kanye West's VMA Interruption Gives Birth To Internet Photo Meme|website=[[MTV]]|date=September 16, 2009|author=Anderson, Kyle|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091001234936/http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/09/16/kanye-wests-vma-interruption-photos|archive-date=October 1, 2009}}</ref> West kemudian meminta maaf,<ref name=latfallout /><ref>{{cite news|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6833664.ece|date=September 14, 2009|title=Kanye West spoils the show at MTV awards|last=Booth|first=Jenny|work=[[The Times]]|access-date=September 14, 2009}}</ref> termasuk secara pribadi kepada Swift.<ref name="MTV.com">{{cite web|first=Jocelyn|last=Vena|title=Taylor Swift Tells 'The View' Kanye West Hasn't Contacted Her.
