Minutes after Kanye West stormed the stage as she accepted her Video Music
Award, a teary-eyed Taylor Swift pulled herself together
to perform her award-winning song, "You Belong With Me," atop a cab parked in front of Radio City Music Hall.
But West only continued the drama by angering the entire Swift family. After Swift's mother, Andrea, asked to speak to the rapper and, a
source tells PEOPLE, "tore into him," the rapper continued to maintain that Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" should have won
Best Female Video instead and made no formal apology.
Later on his Web site, West confirmed that Swift's mother "said the same thing my mother would have said," but didn't offer a full apology until
Monday afternoon, when he said, "That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
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.
A spokeswoman for Taylor says she's been overwhelmed by her fellow musicians' "kindness, support and generosity."
-------------------
Million stories about this jackass moment of Kanye West and his taking Taylor's deserved moment away. I posted this one as it was my favorite...I totally
respect her Mom's reaction and wish I knew what she said as that was my first thought was her mother must have been crazy with anger. IF that was my
daughter I would have wanted to knock him out.
A little too late, an apology on his blog,.. he's a media hog as we've seen before, but this was unnecessary and even cruel to any artist.
Poor Beyonce was mortified in the audience and always appears to be a real class act.
Unfortunately, Kanye has his supporters.....he doesn't care that I am not one of them.
