Bey Bey Beyonce took the stage after winning video of the year. After the stunt that Kanye just pulled, Bey Bey called Taylor Swift back to the stage to give her a chance to accept her first Moon Man the right way. We gotta give kudos to Beyonce for this BUT…

Do You Think She Came Up With The Idea Herself or Did The PR Team Go To Work???

  • Haters Vacation On Bossip

    I Tihnk This Whole Thing Was PLanned… First?

  • lady

    Beyonce is not that smart

  • britney

    beyonce did the right thing cause she needs we white fans, or her career is a bye bye.

  • goten

    that is what i think. it was too quick and all and also i believe that the whole thing was staged from the get go. how did kanye manage to get on stage in the first place

  • Jason

    Genuine!!!… shes an amazing woman……..1st mofo’s

  • mike

    who cares who came up with the idea?!?!?!? and if it was the pr team’s idea that means they were doing their JOBS.

  • Dreaam Ghurl

    Either way it was a nice gesture. Bey had to clear her name from that foolishness with the quickness. I am not a fan but I really admired her for that move. Kanye is in the boat with Chris Brown and OJ now as far as white folks are concerned. LOL!

  • Eye

    STAGGED!! Matthew Knowles is a beast and Beyonce isn’t that bright or gracious.

  • Justin Case™

    PR went to wiggety wiggety work!…. and fast too.

    bwahahahahahahahahaha

  • Dizzy

    damn cant she just be a good person

  • Hannibal

    KANYE WEST SHOULD HAVE WON THE MOON MAN!

  • Bobbi

    Genuine!

  • HUstrawberry

    It was a wonderful thing for her to do and it doesn’t matter who came up with the idea.

  • tee

    either way kanye was mad 2 look like a dumbass, man l really dislike him now

  • THEY KILLED MIKE

    BEYONCE DOESNT FEEL THREATENED BY HER THATS WHY SHE AGREED. PLUS, LIKE BRITNEY SAID, SHE NEEDS HER WHITE FANS

    THE PEOPLE SHE DOES FEEL THREATENED BY SHE OPENLY DISSES. WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ANY AND ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE ARTISTS. (I.E. JHUD)

  • PrincessTi

    Why must everything that Beyonce does be hated on?It was a nice moment for Taylor. Just let it be that.

  • Anonymous

    Regardless of who came up with the idea, it was the right thing to do.

  • key

    Seriously?

  • IT WAS PLANNED BECAUSE….

    According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye’s outburst, making it convenient that her performance of “You Belong to Me,” which immediately followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded. Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, “You can’t fault a man for speaking his mind,” which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd. According to our sources inside Radio City, Kanye was promptly tossed from the VMAs after interrupting Swift’s speech.

  • Riiiiiggghhhtt…

    PR

  • ginneh

    beyonce doesn’t make any decisions in a vacuum…like kanye west who just does whatever the eff he wants. even if it was her idea, anything she does gets approved by PR

  • Kigali (My gravatar is not blurry like my clone)

    Beyounce is a sweet heart. I cant buy your music Mama but I know a decent woman when I see it. Go Bey!

  • Abby

    It doesnt really matter if it was planned or not. It was the right thing to do!

  • Mrs Hall

    I think she was genuine about it

  • KAYLA

    STAGED AT ITS BEST. BEYONCE IS ALL ABOUT SELF. THEY LET KANYE STEAL THE SHINE, AND THEN HAD BEYONCE SWOOP IN LIKE SHE A GOTDAM ANGEL AND SAVE THE DAY FOR TAYLOR. AT THE SAME TIME GIVING HER 5 MORE FANS. PLEASE. PR STUNT AT ITS BEST INDEED.

  • http://www.yahoo.com Shan

    Beyonce did the right thing. Why do you people hate her? Nobody can always be 100% good. The only person without blemish is God.

  • Ruthless

    I don’t think it was planned. Bey was just doing what RESPECTFUL, CLASSY people do. Besides, Bey has won so many awards and made so many speeches. So what if she gives up a little time to another artist who also deserves it? Kanye makes good music, but needs to stop acting like a effin 2 year old.

  • Nobodies business

    I think beyonce did a good thing. And why r some of you turning this into a black and white thing. Give me a break!

  • STOP HATIN’

    This site and some of you posters are incorrigible. Just wow.
    And for those of you saying that Beyonce’s not that smart – ya really need to check yourselves b/c damn near 90% of you idiots CANT EVEN SPELL!

    Ignorant hatin’ asses – just DO BETTER, STOP HATIN’!

  • REAL TALK!!!!

    You guys could say what you want about this woman but she is a smart woman…..I am sure she got the advice from her father.

  • Hazelnut

    I believe that Beyonce felt that Taylor Swift was owed an apology, but the words that Beyonece used were very eloquent – not her usual. She had some help with the words…

  • MS. PANAMA

    SHE DID IT OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HER HEART!!! :)

    I LOVE YOU BEY!!

  • REAL TALK!!!!

    Why you guys always cursing out this site and then always on here.

  • nene

    I think she was told to do that because she is so narcissistic she wouldn’t even cared about how Taylor felt.

  • ATL128

    She had no idea the international a**hole was going to get on stage and say that. Anyway, her husband and Ms.Keys tore it down!!!!!!!!

  • MrTavMarie

    I’d say Papa Joe 2.0 thought of this gem.

  • Lesli

    that was a stand up thing she did

  • ….

    @nene

    hate is a terrible thing.

  • bria

    Can you just let her shine for letting someone else get their shine on all because of a person with mental illnesses.

  • DAMN

    Will beyonce dumbass is pulling in at least 80 mill a year so she must no be that dumb. Some of yall are haters. It was good deed. And even if it was her PR she didn’t have to agree with them. So give it up, beyonce did a wonderful thing.

  • The_Hot_1

    She did that on her own because it was the right thing to do. Anybody would have done the same thing in her position. At least I hope they would have.

  • tld

    If WALE said that Solage run he is an ignorant N@@@@ just like Kanye, I am embarrassed to be black right now!!!

  • Talent2

    it was a PR stun but B aint smart enough to think of it herself so it was genuine just for that fact, but as I think about it it could have just become 2nd nature to her lol

  • Focused1

    LO@ the title of the post. I have to admit, in the back of mind I was thinking the exact same thing.

  • wow

    what difference does it make whether it was her idea or her PR’s idea??? either way she had to agree to do it, it was the RIGHT thing to do and in the end Beyonce looks good for doing it. at first i was thinking that stupid Kanye’s move would make Bey look bad, but after her gracious gesture she has nothing to worry about. Poor Taylor though, her spotlight was taken by that stupid fool. How DARE he think that he has the right to jump up on stage and ruin someone’s acceptance speech?? like he has a say in who wins awards or not..after his antics over the past few years at the MTV awards, I don’t know why they still even allow his dumbass to attend….SMH

  • Butterscotch

    Beyonce did a good thing by letting Taylor have the moment. Props to Bey!

  • nene

    @…
    I agree, hate is a terrible thing but who’s hating.The truth is the truth, everyone knows that Beyonce is stuck on herself.

  • diamond district

    kanye is an ass. i thought he was done with all the arrogant antics. its not all about him, bey and jay, luv them but now im startin to really believe this secret society thing. narcissm is a digusting thing to have, these peope are weak. evry and anything can crush their ego.

  • Michelle

    Wow….everyone is so judgmental! Biggest problem with Kanye was that Taylor Swift is a sweet young girl who didn’t deserve to be embarrassed like that.

    Beyonce looked uncomfortable at the time Kanye did that and, not a huge fan of hers, but I love her right now. I think it was a nice gesture because she genuinely felt bad. Whether it was her idea or not.

    As for Kanye….pick on someone your own size and age! Not a sweet 19 year old girl.

  • STOP HATIN’

    I still need to know wtf lil mama was doin’ on that damn stage. Enlightenment anyone?!

  • Chocolate Bunny

    I think the gesture was genuine from Bey. You could see the embarrassment for Taylor in Beyonce’s face when Kanye pulled his move. Plus I’m sure by now “the thrill is gone” when it comes to receiving awards (from shows that she already has awards from).

  • NaQuia88

    IDK IF IT WAS STAGED OR NOT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BECUZ IT MADE HER LOOK BAD BUT IT WAS NICE EITHER WAY SO YEA WHATEVA

  • b

    @Britney all the way up there. You better be good to China cause without them you will be bye bye. And don’t let me start on the oil countries.

  • Scorpio

    I went up on another site and Kanye already sending out his apologies

  • http://WW.F sweets

    YALL CALL BEYONCE DUMB…BUT SHE ISNT THAT DUMB TO BE WHERE SHE IS TODAY….IF THATS WHAT U CALL DUMB THEN I WANN A BE DUMB ALSO.

    OPEN UR EYES PPL…THIS SITE IS THE BRING BLACK PPL AGAINST EACHOTHER AND TEAR US DOWN…I WILL NO LONGER VISIT THIS SITE.

  • me

    Either way if she took it upon herself to do that for taylor ok if her pr team did it then like someone said earlier their doing there job im glad she got the chance to do it again but i really think beyonce felt for her.

  • REALLY

    IDK if it was beyonce pr people or her, but she must have some smart PR people cuz no one else took it upon themselves to give taylor back her spotlight! ANd if this was a white or black thing than her white counterpart should have gave her the chance to finish her speech. But none of them did except for a black woman. Its not a white or black thing it is just plan stupidity and disrespect on kanye’s part.

  • alex

    Kanye may apologize to protect his wallet, but I appreciate his honesty. In this fake manufactured world we need some truth. If someone is simply better-they are better. You can tell who MTV panders to by their reality “Hills” based reality tv shows they keep shoving down our throats. They did an awesome job on the MJ tribute-I expected nothing less though, they had ample preparation time.

  • http://WW.F sweets

    WHEN BEYONCE GOES TO DO CONCERTS OVER SEAS WHO DO U THINK GOES TO HER SHOWS…WHITE PEOPLE…SHE HAS PLENTY OF FANS OF EVERY RACE. STOP PUTTING SO MUCH ENERGY INTO SOMEONE U DONT LIKE..SMH

  • Michelle

    And guess what….even some white people thought what kanye did was hilarious…….and black people think it was wrong. ITs not a racial issue! Every interaction with people that is between people of different races is not a racial issue! Sometimes its just people being people

  • Not A Fan

    I forgot to say, that i believe out of respect Bey
    did a wonderful job inviting Taylor back on stage
    to give the girl the respect she deserves.

  • http://www.SoldieressChronicles.com Soldieress Chronicles

    No longer a fan of Kanye West!!!

  • Onnee

    Beyonce, didn’t have to do that! I think it was a classy move. Now as for Kanye, his inflated sense of self is to much for fans.

    Gooooo Taylor!!!! Congrats.. Sweetie!!!

  • Talent2

    @Michelle
    this is kinda weird because your right it not about racism but it is about race

    MTV’s audience is what?? basically white right?
    so when they have an award show the award is going to go to what there audience pick and there audience just happens to be white, so the award show is not going to be compelety fair until the audience is equal on both sides

    my vote goes for making MTV just like BET where it will be for the white people because MTV does not draw alot of black people with there show so to have rap and rNb artists on there award, which everybody knows rap and rNb are basically black peoples music is not going to be far

    ok just to clear myself up some I don’t really reread what I write so…but I do notice I use white and black a lot but im really talking about the music differenc not really skin, know what I mean??

  • Mocha1

    @ Really- Good observation and you’re absolutely on point.

    NOBODY else responded in the kind way that Beyonce’ responded which solidifies my belief that she decided this ON HER OWN.

    Why didn’t ya’ll mention the fact that of ALL the award winners, Beyonce’ was the ONLY one to think to call Taylor back onstage?

    It wasn’t Bey’s fault, nor did she have anything to do with Kanye’s outburst but she took it upon herself to RIGHT the situation.

    That’s the spin ya’ll should have gone with as opposed to this….crap.

  • Hello

    she didnt come up with that idea…

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/brownsugar976 rima

    that boy lost his mind, I dont know why would he do that… I think he look forward for doing that dumb shit.. Im thinking if it’s stage why??? Im thinking what is he’s gaining from that, if he truly feel like that(which I believe he dont) he would be humble about it and ask mtv to be boycott he can get his loyal fans to go along with him but he doesnt god forbid if someone bet him to do that….I just dont get what would make him do that?? and BEYONCE FELT GOOD DOING IT WHETHER SHE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OR NOT IT WAS ONLY RIGHT!!!! YOU SEE HOW SHE LOOKED WHEN KANYE WEST DID THAT, BUT WHY DID THEY LET HIM GO ONSTAGE WHOEVER HE WAS WITH THEY SHOULD OF TOLD HIM TO SIT HIS BEHIND DOWN.. THAT’S A SHAME MAYBE HE LET THAT EGO THING GO TO HIS HEAD!!!

  • Kenny

    Beyonce has a good PR team, if she took no action her name would have been caught in headlines in a negative way. Matthew Knowles knows how to play the game to clear Beyonce of negative press. If you notice Beyonce was laughing, not shaking her head in anger…

  • Talent2

    @Mocha1

    she did it because it was her name that Kanye yelled out, if it was someone else she would have never done that, NEVER

  • Class Act

    Beyonce showed herself to be a professionally mature, gracious and thoughtful entertainer. After winning hundreds of awards, that one kind gesture will win her the Class Act award in many people’s minds. Way to go Bey; thinking on your feet and distancing yourself from all that no class, low class N!&&a sh!t. As for Kanye; he desperately needs to learn some self disciple, stage etiquette or just some plain manners. His girl, Amber Rose, needs someone to tell her snake skin spandex is not suitable for all occasions. They both just lost huge points from the public’s viewpoint.

  • http://WW.F sweets

    @TALENT….OF COURSE BEY SAID SOMETHING BECAUSE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER…IF IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER AND SHE DIDNT SAY ANYTHING WOULD THAT HAVE MADE HER GESTURE ANY LESS GENUINE….U CAN ASK A MILLION WHAT IFS…BUT IT HAPPEN THE WAY IT HAPPEN AND BEY DID A GOOD THING.

    IF I WERE IN HER PLACE AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ME I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE TOLD HER TO COME ON STAGE..IT WOULDNT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON THOUGH.

  • http://Bossip kandi

    that was thoughtful of beyonce; finally a good speech from beyonce lol

  • http://WW.F sweets

    SHE WAS AFFECTED BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT HER…HAD IT NOT BEEN ABOUT BEY SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

    BEY DID A GOOD THING…BOTTOM LINE..END OF STORY.

  • Eye

    MTV told Bey to do that because that was the last award of the night. Bey was wrapped around Kayne’s crap and they needed damage control. It was a graceful was to end the night. I am grateful that Beyonce was so eloquoent event thought it was not her idea IMO. Either way, nice move.

  • Shay

    I don’t know whose idea it was but it was a good one.

    Now if she can get Julius to stop being an idiot…

  • http://WW.F sweets

    @EVE…HOW THE HELL DO U KNOW THAT…WERE U THERE…ARE U APART OF THE MTV STAFF….U SOUND REALLY DUMB….HOW CAN U JUST MAKE UP SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH NO FOUNDATION OR SOURCE OR ANYTHING.

  • mba

    I think it was stagged. Kanye did his part in order to push the “nice girl” image of Beyonce. It worked to perfection! I would give them all a raise!

  • mba

    Oh this is classic Caine and O-Dog. The lesser of two evils is portrayed at a good person in the end.

  • Hottestchickinthegame

    Dreaam Ghurl

    Either way it was a nice gesture. Bey had to clear her name from that foolishness with the quickness. I am not a fan but I really admired her for that move. Kanye is in the boat with Chris Brown and OJ now as far as white folks are concerned. LOL!
    ________________

    I agree. We all know Beyonce (like most superstars) doesn’t do anything spontaneous and unplanned because everything must look perfect from her angle at all costs, but it doesn’t matter in this case because it was simply the right thing to do whether it was to save face, or to give the poor girl her rightful moment.

  • DD

    THIS WAS PLANNED.
    WHEN BEYONCE ACCEPTED HER AWARD AND CALLED FOR TAYLOR, TAYLOR WAS IN THE BACK AND WALKED OUT WITH A MIC INSTEAD OF BEING IN HER SEAT. ITS STILL A NICE GESTURE ON BEYONCE’S HALF BUT LETS NOT BELIEVE IT WAS SPONTANEOUS.

  • California Pixie

    It was a gracious and I believe genuine gesture. Beyonce has won numerous awards and given many acceptance speechs. That little moment in time was Taylor’s moment as a new artist and Kanye ruined it. I am not a member of Beyonce’s fan base but she earned my respect this evening.

    Kanye continues to act like a fool on nationa television. What is his problem? Now if we can get Jay-z to wear some age appropriate clothes. He’s what damn near 40 and wearing saggy jeans.

  • Winona Johnson

    Beyonce is a class act.

    Jaz Z’s voice sounded a little hoarse. I hope that you feel better Mr. Carter!

  • BLACKS DO IT BETTER!

    I think deep in her heart she wanted to do it but im sure her PR people told her it would be a good idea.

  • Get a life

    just let it go..it’s tv and I promise you kanye, beyonce and taylor…are all still making money off of all of you all who are on her commenting..put your time and energy into something else…It’s tv….

  • charles robinson

    im not a great fan of Beyonce music or acting but what she did was very Classy …and i give her major respect for it..

  • http://www.myspace.com/gazfynest **SEVEN DAYS**

    @NoHateJustTruth

    dang what a theory…it makes sense in hindsight

  • http://bossip.com brea

    Regardless of PR or not-Bey did the right thing. I personally don’t think it was the PR that coached her. If you seen the clip, you could see that Bey was clearly shocked and embarrassed. She is a very sweet person for doing that so give her credit where credit is do. Just for that, she gets my vote. PR makes suggestions and it’s up to Bey to decide if she wants to go along with it.

  • BEYONCE ALL DAY biatches…..

    SWEET DREAMS…..OR A BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE. BEYONCE I GOT YOU FOR LIFE. ITS ME, YOUR GIRL BLUE SWADE SHOES.

  • BEYONCE ALL DAY biatches…..

    BEYONCE FO LIFE, LOVE YOU KANYE. SWEET DREAMS….

  • The One

    PR Everyting She Do Is PR But Smart Beyonce Was Laughing When Kanye Did That

  • Tameka

    She was not gonna go up in flames with kanye yall know matthew told her to do it. I thought taylor deserve that award she can out sell beyonce and kanye put together.

  • YeahRight!

    OK, when Kanye first made the remarks the camera panned to Beyonce and she was laughing and looking around enjoying the moment where someone proclaimed her best of all times (blech). She didn’t have any sympathy for Taylor. However, her team never misses a moment to spin her a$$hatery in her favor complete with putting Taylor in a red dress. Did any of you Bey a$$ pimples notice that Taylor was waiting in the wings and came out WITH MIC ALREADY IN HAND to get her Queen B delivered moment. This kind of stagery playing on the emotions of fools makes me sick. Beyonce is an opportunist and someone figured out that her laughing it up at Kanye may not go over well for her fake image. Country music fans are fanatical and she doesn’t want to mess with those idiots.

  • MistaO

    Whether she did (come up with it or not) it’s besides the point. The point is that SHE did it, and guess what, she didn’t have to!!!

    Totally classy move on her part. UNLIKE, Kanye, and all the racists people making what he chose to do an issue of race, and all the “blacks” who pliled on calling this man the n word.

    Biggest show of CLASS we’ve seen in a long time. Kudos to her and by the way, it also shows how great a job her PARENTS did in raising a woman like her. Love it, or leave it but I gotta state the real…

  • http://Bossip Miss 21

    she did it cuz she knew that was the right thing to do

  • WiseWoman

    Well good move either way, I think Chris Brown needs to hire her PR team if they were behind it.
    But i think MTV and Taylor knew she was going to do that.

  • YeahRight!

    The Beyonce a$$ pimples are always in place to make excuses, ignore facts, and generally live on another planet where their favorite fake a$$ celeb is concerned.

  • Speaking the truth…

    PR stunt….Kanye is known for doing this..Bey, Jay and kanye all plan that one. But it made a better show.

  • CJ

    Whether it was planned or not, it was a gracious move to let that youngin come out and have her moment.

    Kanye is an asswipe. His actions shows he needs to read Steve Harvey’s book on how to be a lady.

  • Pink Capp

    I think the blogs should be fined whenever they say something stuoid and that questions was just stupid

  • sdedee

    PR of course

  • The Real Housewife of Brooklyn

    IDK..Bey has won some many awards not a major dedal if she didn’t win this. I think she was happy inside that Ye did tis thou…

  • Kris in Dallas

    This was more about Kanye thanit was Bey…Why is she being blamed for “staging the event” Pure stupidity

  • BIGGIE

    does it matter whose idea it is do what it is right?

    dumb question

  • DaHonestTruth ~ Turn My Swag On

    whatever the reason was that she did it she did it gracefully. it was a very selfless kind thing of her to do.

    i don’t believe it was planned. the only thing i feel was planned was between Kannye’s ignorant behind and MTV! MTV is in on this. Kanye has acted up enoough that MTV should be prepared for his ignorant antics by now! how does he even get on the stage? where is security? i think they plan it for publicity!

  • JB – Vick’s time to shine is among us!!!

    As a certified Beyonce Hater, I will firmly state, She is a classly lady.

  • Alrighty Then…

    It may have been both a PR stunt and true empathy for the child! (Kanye bullied her!) Either way, Beyonce showed a ton of class by letting Taylor have her moment, and at the same time, won plenty of brownie points! PR or not, it was the right thing to do.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    As much as Justin Case irritates the hell outta me, he was the only blogger (I read) that mentioned something last night that I noticed as well.

    When Beyonce called Taylor Swift up to the stage, Taylor hardly acknowledged Beyonce nor did she say “Thank You!”

    I felt bad for her after what Kanye did to her but her ungrateful little butt could’ve at least thanked Beyonce for giving her back her moment.

  • CB IS A BITCH

    Bey only does things for Bey..she knew letting Taylor have her moment would be a good PR move for her..

  • SEXII MAMA

    I DNT THINK THIS WAS A PR THING. BEY REALLY WANTED THE GIRL TO HAVE HER MOMENT AND SHINE AND I THINK SHE DID IT THE RIGHT WAY

    Staged or not, Beyonce was not the bad guy. Kanye’s done this what 3 times? When is MTV going to ban him from award shows?

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I read blog posts after blog posts about Beyonce and I’m really amazed at all the hate there is surrounding her.

  • http://bossip Shorty Low

    Kanye really needs to go somewhere and sit the f*ck down. I can’t blame him for speaking his mind..however there is a time & place for everthing and to steal that lil girls moment was rude and insensitive..I know his mother taught him better than that…She must be turning over in her grave.

  • GG

    Everyone knows that Beyonce does not think that fast. It was definitely encouraged by her team, but I commend her for agreeing to it.

    I personally think the whole thing was staged. All of the talk about the MJ tribute, Bey had to do something to garner attention.

  • I’m Just Me- HAPPY MONDAY Y’ALL

    I would hope it was genuine!

  • resurrected

    Well at least she was smart enough to pull her azz and career out of the fire, and I will be pulling Kayne to the side to let him know that they next time he feels the needs to act a fool toplease leave my name out of his mouth…

    I would hope it was genuine

    Beyonce is a class act….why would you want to take away from that?

  • beyonce is a bitch – and kanye is a nigga

    @keep it easy
    there is nothing classy about beyonce
    nothing at all. Now Taylor Swiff is a
    classy girl, beyonce could learn a thing or
    two from this 19year old girl.

  • Jade Silver

    She doesn’t have the mental capacity to think up something like this, so I believe it was planned. Great PR, they know how to keep their girl shining.

  • MrS*Glok…We Love Daddy

    Whether it was genuine or not, Beyonce’s good. As for Kayne, he was the last good piece of entertainment! After they started praying to the devil and throwing up the horns, I turned the channel.
    When I turned back Beyonce and all her single trannies were performing. Again, I changed it.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    Well if Taylor is classier than Beyonce, you’d would think someone would’ve taught her to say “Thank you” when someone extends an act of kindness.

    I didn’t see where she did.

  • MrS*Glok…We Love Daddy

    JADE!!!
    LMAO, mental capacity!!!!
    I wonder if she can even spell “genuine”… I bet she can spell Illuminati though.

  • Sharie

    I think it was genuine- Beyonce doesnt want to be associated with that mess. She’s class-

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I still can’t understand all the hate toward Beyonce.

    It just doesn’t make sense to me.

    **shaking my head**

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    Let’s play the race card for a minute—

    How many of “us” BLACKS even took the time to vote?

    Probably the same few amount that are continuously here on a daily bashing Beyonce.

    With all the hate I continuously see on this successful African American woman, we don’t need white people (or any other race for that matter) hating on us. We do enough of it to encompass any other race’s hate.

    WE are OUR OWN worse enemy.

    SMH!

    actually the second she walked out on stage she hugged Beyonce and thanked her!

    To me Beyonce is an opportuntist and that is why I can say that I think that she did was genuine but it was needed to clear the air and not put or keep her name in sudden mess, thanks to Kayne…,

  • resurrected

    Well Kayne, Jay-z and Rhianna said that they wanted to run the town so I guess this was that in the making…

    I can’t when poeple apologize on the net bring your azz and apology to the person at face value in the same manner that you chose to disrepect them… The white congressman did this with Obama and now Kayne with this girl…

  • Dee

    To all the Beyonce haters: It doesnt matter who come up with the idea. No one could force Beyonce to do any thing she didn’t want to do.

    Why can’t you all just give Beyonce credit for being the humble person she really is?

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    @ OldSoul–

    I agree! Please note in many of my posts, I thought what Beyonce did was a class act and I honestly didn’t think it was staged on her part. I also mentioned more than once that I cannot understand the hate toward beyonce all the time.

    What you may have misunderstood in my posts was the fact that Taylor Swift didn’t acknowledge Beyonce with a thank you but someone just above you pointed out that she had.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I reread your post.

    Good one!

    And with that–I think it’s time to let it go.

    Again, thanks for your insightfulness.

    PR… Matthew was there, he made that happen…lol.. that PR team of hers is good real good….

  • http://bossip.com ms. s

    PRAISES TO ALL:

    IN MY OPINION: IT’S ALL AN ILLUSION PEOPLE, KANYE’S BEHAVIOR IS TRULY SICK AS IF SATAN HAS HIS SOUL.(HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GOD ANYMORE DO THE RESEARCH AND REMEMBER IT’S ALL ABOUT ASSOCIATION)NOT JUDGING. EVIL VERSES GOOD! PLEASE DO THE RESEARCH.

    HOLLYWEIRD IS SO OVER RATED THERES A LOT OF WICKEDNESS THAT GOES ON IN HOLLYWEIRD TOWN. CONGRATS! TO TAYLOR MAY GOD BLESS HER ALWAYS AND TO WIN MANY MORE AWARDS. WHY IS IT DOING THIS TIME OF HONORING MICHAEL JACKSON,IT ALWAYS SEEMS THE ATTENTION ALWAYS GOES BACK ON KANYE,JAY-Z OR BEYOUNCE. PEOPLE ALL OF THESE AWARDS ARE PRE-PLANNED AND REHEARSED FOR RATINGS. NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS AT ALL. GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH OF WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES.

    GOD BLESS & MUCH LOVE TO ALL,

  • http://www.mstrendydiva.com mstrendydiva

    I believe Bey came up with it herself. Everyone that meets her or knows her knows how sweet and down to earth she is. It was the right thing to do.

  • T.F.

    That was pretty decent and noble of her to do that…even if it was just a PR stunt, it was the right thing to do

  • superhuman

    YEAH IT SOUND SET UP !!

  • OH LAWD

    Bey has officially been accepted the white community, GO BEY!!!!

  • Yahfia

    Who cares, who came up with it?! Isn’t that the point, to have people around you that have your back in all respects?! That’s what Kanye is missing! Just be patient with him, God will empty him of his pride and if it doesn’t break him, he’ll be restored! 2 God be the glory!

    Kudos to Beyonce and her camp!!!

  • I’m just sayin….

    I say it was a little of both.. but mostly DAMAGE CONTROL. She wants to distance herself from Kanye since he was acting out on her behalf.

  • KittyPetit

    At least someone is more evolved that others. Beyonce did the right thing. Kanye acting very ignorant – somebody had to save the situation. And I hope Beyonce got in his A$$ backstage, too

  • Jazmine

    Whether is was brought on by her PR team or came directly from her it was the right thing to do. Leave it to B to save the day.

  • Unbought_and_Unafraid

    doens’t matter — she will ALWAYS be considered gracious and big-hearted BY THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER

    if it’s just PR, then give the damn Knowles Machine their props, they play hard and they play RIGHT!!!

  • I’m just sayin….

    Beyonce asking Taylor to come out on stage for her “moment”, was not impromptu because Taylor walked out WITH A MIC…

  • MrsT_n_DC

    PR stunt or not, it was a nice thing to do. Taylor Swift looked mortified after Kanye’s comment and just left the stage without saying a word. I wonder how Kanye’s comment would have gone off if he tried to do that to a grown woman (Taylor Swift is only 19) or a man?

    Bey did the right thing. Though I think it was a colab with her PR team and herself. It was great PR for Beyonce. Once again she walks away untouchable and untarnished like the gracious person she presents herself to be. I agree with you “OLD TIMER”. Be ups to the Knowles team.

  • megafly

    Beyonce’s gesture was from the heart. Anyone could see that Taylor’s heart was broken. She always wanted to cry. No beyonce didn’t do it to save face with you white folks, remember, she’s well seasoned in the game, and she’s made her money, and earned several awards and grammys. She didn’t do it to make you white folks happy.

  • Oshanae

    Regardless She did it and let that young girl have her shine. Cause when he made that outburst she looked so embrassed so she the right thing….

  • Jennifer B

    OMG! isn’t someone a little too ignorant that she can’t argue about a topic the right way. What does race have to do with the issue? Kanye West was definitely out of line and Beyonce wanted to clear the air, and make it known that her intentions were good with Taylor. Also just to let you know that I am a black women who is currently attending USC law school. When debating a topic you should come with background information instead of superiority info about your own race. That is just plain ignorant. But all in all this country needs black people because half the items that people use today were created by black people. Now Britney I will leave you with your thoughts. lol

  • Kimmie

    come on…..B has a proven track record of stomping people down to get where and stay where she wants. If you don’t see this as a carefully orchestrated PR stunt you are blind as a bat.

    P.S. Taylor swift actually has good music! She deseved it!

  • resurrected

    Ok I just read another site that Jay got made and Bey for letting Taylor comes back on to finish her speech… It said that Jay got made at Bey for going against Kanye and called her un-loyal and left her last night to hang with Rihianna…. That he did not like how the networks were treating Kayne… Now if this is true Jay is very un-loyal himself because he is suppose to have his wife’s back first… I can tell that he treats her like a trophy piece a lot of the times…

  • Big Mama

    I think this was a Beyonce ideal she even told her story of being 17 and first winning she was too personal for someone to tell her to do that in such a short time. and it was the right thing to do so she saved the night but Taylor should have thanked her for giving her back that moment it was not B’s fault kanye was a Butt wipe.

  • Dominique Devereaux

    Can’t give props without putting something negative in as well, pitiful.

    1st thought….It was a PUBLICITY STUNT. 2nd thought….Yes, a PUBLICITY STUNT and ALL 3 we’re in on it. Kanye, Beyonce and Taylor.

    LET’S SEE HOW KICKIN & ALIVE CELEB RACISM REALLY IS… ….AND WOW look at the hyped responses.

    Kanye stepped out raw with his opinion (R&B vs. Country) and noosed, dragged, and lynchned with the racist comments full blast (WHITE vs. Black N**GA, C**N) poisoned darts.

    All I can say is the more the world changes the more it stays the same. Now who would you say keeps up this racist drama? What Kanye said had nothing to do with race..

  • http://bossip.com brea

    Everybody talking like they know Bey on a personal level. Get out this girl head!

  • diane

    I don’t care if it was pr or not it was smart, I would not have got involved in that sh*t kanye did to his career last night either

  • Simone

    Yes someone put her up to it.

  • Simone

    Kanye is not concerned about his career. He always has been one to be ahead of the game. Believe me what he said was NOT impromtu. IT WAS 4SHO premeditated. He knew that he would get flack.

  • Simone

    For those of you who’d ask why the publicity stunt…CELEB’S of all people can become jaded by the cameras, bright lights, glitter, and noice. They too want to know the REAL…”HOW KICKIN & ALIVE IS CELEB RACISM… ….AND WOW look at the hyped responses.

    Kanye stepped out with a bias and raw opinion of R&B vs. Country and ended up being verbally noosed, dragged, and lynchned with racist comments. Fully blasted with poisoned darts on(WHITE vs. Black N**GA, C**N) issues. FROM THE HEART THE MOUTH WILL SPEAK. What Kanye said had nothing to do with race… BUT IT HAS BECOME A STEREOTYPICAL RACE ISSUE FOR MANY.

    All I can say is the more the world changes the more it stays the same no matter how much you make.

  • Denisha Viochi

    Whether it was a planned stunt or spontaneous, it seems to me that Kanye got what he wanted: a few seconds in the spotlight. And a lot of publicity for being “outspoken.” But it was an insulting thing to do, regardless of the color of who was involved. It’s one thing to stand up for what you believe, but you give up your own self-respect when you are rude and demeaning to others in the process. Lots of people on this forum will say this is preachy, but hey people, we need to figure out a way to respect one another, not tear each other down. We can choose to keep feeding racial division, or we can choose to treat others the way we want to be treated. Simple as that.

  • brooklyn kid

    OF COURSE Beyonce’s handlers advised her of what to do – that’s a PR’s job. That incident was a publicist’s nightmare. Also if Beyonce hadn’t acted quickly the rumor mill would be speculating on this whole thing. Why would Kanye care so much? ETC.
    I am NOT a Beyonce fan, HOWEVER, she handled herself with style and grace that only comes with maturity and professionalism. LOVE YOU JANET!!! MICHAEL WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART! KUDO’S TO MADONNA, EXCELLENT – HONEST SPEECH! Pink is sooo underrated, love her!

  • DominicanNegro

    Much respect to Beyonce, PR or not, Very Classy on her part in my opinion. She is an entertainer and I think there should be a mutual repsect between artists. Kanye speaking out is just something he does. As “Fans” we either support or choose not to follow these people.

    Saying that it was a “N!&&a thing” doesn’t help anyone, white, black or hispanic. He still has alot of anger to let go of and the money and fame are no cure.

    Peep Taylor’s statement to US Weekly and you do the math.

    “They told me to stand by the side of the stage, and I didn’t really know what was going to go down, she said. But I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she’s always done. She’s always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she’s always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn’t love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight.”

  • mya

    @shellboogie

    I agree with you… I thought it was rather unusual, where taylor swift, changed her outfit to a red dress, same color red as beyonce….

    How did Beyonce know enough she was going to win, and to tell Tayor swift to stand by the side of stage…

    man i don’t know… but it look kind of staed to me…

  • Tracy

    maybe all this was planned out it looked kind of stagged you know what if beyonce did not win would kayne be up there maybe but prolly not
    It looked kindy of staged

  • Truth

    I’m not buying it. Bey didn’t publicly support Jennifer Hudson during the deaths of her mom, brother, and nephew. And she and JHud ‘loved’ each other in Dreamgirls. How the hell she gonna support Taylor Swift, someone who she’s never worked with? And on a whim? Lovely gesture yes, genuine no.

  • It’s me

    See, you stans want Beyonce to be equal to someone liek Michael Jackson, but she will never be. I think Kanye ruined her career.

  • wimpy

    i think it was bey’s idea, because she is an overall nice person anyways =)

  • http://www.bossip.com Blessed & Highly Favored

    I believe Beyonce came up with the idea herself. Despite all the negative press she recieves, she really seems like a grounded woman. Anyone with common sense would have done the same thing!

  • tish

    I like beyonce,but i thought it was staged to. They probably told Beyonce to say that and it seems like she was reading from a teleprompter. Beyonce has to save image and I don’t blame her. I glad she did that for the white people,but would she have done the same for Kelly,Letoya,and many others. A nice person is nice in frontt of the camera and behind.

  • Love Life

    Beyonce is not stupid. She has been in the industy long enough to know that what Kanye did could have potentially ruined the cross over crowd she work so hard to get. I think it was her idea, she really professional!

    A little of both PR and Beyonce on her own doing. Think of the demographic that purchases both Beyonce and Taylor Swift CD’s….White….young (18-35 year olds)…suburban. Beyonce knows where her bread is buttered and I am sure Jay-Z checked this fool for raining on B’s parade!

    Among those who did offer support backstage was Beyoncé’s dad, Matthew, who comforted Taylor and her family, and arranged the moment in which Beyoncé gave Swift a second chance at the spotlight.

  • scapegoat

    REGARDLESS I think Bey showed straight CLASS, but peep the picture sometimes a picture says it all…Two red dresses; one how a 17 yr. o rocks it; the other how a 30 something grown a$$ woman rocks it! They r killin it at the in of the day it’s all POLITICS PERIOD…

    “nah run n tell dat?”

  • http://bossip Truth Teller

    I applaud Beyonce for having the class that so many of you lack.Many of you are so damn ignorant that you try to make your assumptions fact as it pertain to Beyonce!None of you know a damn thing about whether she talked with her management team before her gracious move but talk as if it’s fact.

    It doesn’t matter what Bey do,it’s damn if she do and damn if she don’t.The same mofos who say she is “an opportunist” would be calling her an opportunist if she said nothing.You would be siding with Taylor Swift if Beyonce didn’t acknowledge her,which wasn’t a requirement in the first place…….

  • Ricco

    You kanye is a good person but made a huge mistake. Huge! But beyonce did a good thing asking taylor back to the stage and shows alot of charcter.

  • Teeny

    I saw a interview where Taylor Swift was saying she was asked by people at MTV or staff to come backstage..So obviously, this was something planned before Beyonce even stepped on the stage to accept her award. Definitely a PR scheme!!!!

  • BlacKKKlan

    Too many Negros like Kanye and Serena have weak frontal lobes. This is the region of the brain responsible for self-control.

    did beyonce come to the conclusion that something should be done to rectify the situation? i don’t think so (my opinion) it seems out of the norm for her to pull something off like that without being prompted, sorry. she usually seems timid(almost inconfident, hence the alter ego to help her loosen up in front of a crowd) and she normally says very little and only when spoken to. did she agree to do it after “whomever” told her that she should? yes. it is hard to call anyone involved here gracious or classy without knowing the motive: if it was to remove beyonce from the foolishness then we can say it was just a smart move, if it was out of pure empathy for taylor then we can say it was “gracious” or “classy” but we’ll never know the reason. nonetheless, the whole thing makes her SEEM “gracious ” and “classy” so why should she clear up any misconceptions, that’s a good look for her. just seems shady:her nervous laugh (instead of look of disgust)when kanye went on stage-just didn’t seem like she was all that empathetic when it happened but empathetic enough to give taylor her “moment back” later. didn’t fool me.

    Leave Kanye, Lil Mama and Beyonce alone. Why black people always think they need approval to act the way they want. Kanye was rude, so what? so is everyone else in America. Get over it and move on.

    How comes Taylor Swift re appeared in the same colour of dress as Beyonce? Something fishy right there
