Weeks after Kanye West’s outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards, claiming that Beyonce should have won an award given to Taylor Swift, the “Single Ladies” singer decided to laugh off the whole thing. Speaking at Billboard’s Women In Music Friday, Beyonce recalled watching West as he walked up the stage, later taking the mic from “Fearless” singer Taylor Swift. “When he walked on the stage I was like no, no, no,” Beyonce told the audience while laughing during an acceptance speech. “I knew his intentions and I knew he was standing up for art.” Later claiming the whole thing worked out to her benefit in the end, Beyonce told ‘Women in Music’ attendees “Taylor Swift had her moment and I didn’t have to give an acceptance speech!” As previously reported, Beyonce received Billboard’s Woman of the Year award Friday with attendees including Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child), Debra Lee (BET) and Gayle King showing support from the sideline. In other news, Beyonce has her eyes set on producing films. (Click HERE for more on that story….)
