Taylor Swift will get the last laugh

So Kanye West decides to rain on Taylor Swift’s parade with an ill-timed, ill-thought-of promotion of Beyonce’s video at the 2009 VMA Awards. The madness is recorded here:

I feel badly for Taylor Swift, I really do, but you know what? Fearless is one of the bestselling albums of the year – the best, if you don’t count Michael Jackson’s catalog, sales of which skyrocketed after his death – and she’s notched six Top 10 hits. It must’ve been absolutely awful for Taylor to go through that, but keep your head up high, sweetie, because you’re a positive role model, you’re beautiful, and you’re talented. You have a long, storied career ahead of you.

I hope my daughter grows up to share your talent and values. You’re a diamond, Taylor. Don’t let Kanye get you down.

(And Beyonce, girl, you’d better speak up, because Kanye used you! He soiled your night and reputation; distance yourself from the man! you are a class act!! Here’s a video of Beyonce calling Taylor Swift up onstage and giving her the moment she deserves.)

    Yes, Taylor had the last laugh, she was able to finish her speech and it was the last speech for the night.
    What Beyonce did was really classy.

    Beyonce is such a class act!

    Kaloka ang Kanye West na yan!! I’m glad Beyonce did what she did for Taylor Swift. The poor girl doesn’t deserve to be treated that way. She’s really good and I admire her!

    I so agree!
