After the MTV award ceremony, mainstream media published critiques strongly criticizing Kanye West's behavior during the ceremony.
Being a hip-hop mogul and a black superstar who has been in the industry for many years, taking the microphone away from a rookie singer on stage is not only disrespectful to Taylor but also to the audience, the organizers, the fans, and MTV.
Fans were also baffled by Kanye West's actions.
The MTV Video Music Awards seemed like a game of musical chairs, with Beyonce taking three trophies, Lady Gaga clinching three, and giving the Best Female Artist award to Taylor, who had the best album sales of the year, made sense.
Kanye jumping on stage and interrupting Taylor's acceptance speech was simply foolish.
Even the guy in Washington publicly criticized Kanye during a press conference, calling him a "jackass."
