Kanye vs. Taylor Swift: Dumbest beef of all time

first they came for the white hipsters

i'd never heard of Taylor Swift until this incident, and informal polling around the office this morning has confirmed I'm not the only one.

Yeah, both of her albums have gone quadruple platinum in the US, and she's had two recent top five songs.

upon reflection i think the whole Lil Mama thing may be more embarrassing than all this

now she's a household name.

Are you joking?

what a disaster for Lil Mama

I mean, what did she do?

i'd never heard of this kanye west before this incident, and now he's a household name

lil mama dressed as a baby last year, so either those photos are from then or she reprised it this year too. unfortunate either way.

the whole night was obviously a promotional thing, i mean, i'd never heard of MTV before yesterday

[sheepish]I really do wonder about the blindspot - I try to keep at least a cursory knowledge of mainstream radio - but man it looks like i missed the boat on this one. (wondering to self what else have i missed?) She's not all bad, in fact. I kinda like her song a lot. [/sheepsish]

Ah well, will blame it on the internet. But whatever.

ok i didn't look at ned's link, lex is right that site somehow got last year confused with this year: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621423/20090914/lil_mama__2_.jhtml

Ha, I was wondering. Dangers of googling 'lil mama vma 2009' too quickly!

ahahaha, lil mama!

always the bridesmaid

i was like "how'd she even get invited?...oh OK apparently she's an employee of MTV"

I kinda love lil' mama but that is some sad shit right there.
lil mama = "I AM NEW YORK"
alicia = "um, wtf"
jay = "ye put you up to this didn't he?"

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.

yes u can wale(sic), yes u can

I'll stop stop posting these when they cease to amuse me so (or if you guys grow sick of them, they're still making me giggle):

hopefully my knowing who taylor swift is will excuse this question: who is "je" and why did he put lil mama up to it? Did she just sort of jump up on stage while jay was performing? Must youtube at lunch..

looooool at the CSI one

Quick, lets come up with a catchy name for the inevitable series of "Ye Interruptin" comics! How about that?

the look on her face was classic. also fuck her for acting like she deserved some big Oscar-style ovation at the end, she should have just walked out and waved and thanked Beyonce. almost as self-absorbed as Kanye but not anywhere near as funny or classic. what a boring lame this taylor swift is

That last CSI one may be my favorite. When he pushes the dude aside...oh man.

Katy Perry's "stepping on a kitten" comment is OTM but unfortunately makes me giggle at this whole thing even more.

When are Kanye and Lil Mama going into the studio together?

Haha Yeah that is the highlight.

...As a response to Cunga

also, this was probably mentioned waaaaaay upthread, but massive LOL @ 'Ye thinking the VMAs has EVER actually been about how "good" the videos are

this whole thing is really unenjoyable.

like, i don't want to know anything about this and i'm already dreading every single word of commentary about it.

kanye/taylor beef, please break up.

I'm so upset about this that I'm going to blithely flip my bangs about for all you hotties & cuties out there.
