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.
None of you are capable are capable of achieving as much as Bey has, so all you can do is critisize. She can sing(unless you are tone death) She can dance. And all at the same time. She is a great performer. None of you are striving to achieve that. So be quiet.
beyonce is working on being the best artist of all times , i can't wait to see how it will end . because as things stand right now they have her as the top in all fields of the entertainment world and theres no one her fans clain can ever catch her, but yet she can catch and pass others something is wrong with that. beyonce can gain new ground but no one else can move up .gtho
None of yaw know these celebs to sit there and say Beyonce was humble who knows what she does behind the scenes!!!
Beyonce cosigned what Kanye did as she knew his intentions but did nothing to stop him. She is just as guilty as him in this mess. She does not get a pass by allowing Taylor to make her speech. Ignorant heffa got the nerve to say she knew what he was going to do. No education can get your azz in trouble when you do not know the definition of the words you are using.
God Girl B! Do exactly what Jay told you to do! The sad part about it is you used to be an artist, respectable and your music had meaning. Now you got your husband pimping you out wearing a bathing suit in every video. Thats not art ! Thats the oldest profession!
Oh yes beyonce, I agree your stupid music video is true art. Who else could cram themselves into a leatard and dance the way you do. lulz
you all can read the article right above you and see beyounce says when kanye walked on stage she said no no no how did she know he was going to do that?did she suddenly have intuition that kanye was going to do wrong.read what the lady is sayin and to me it doesnt matter if your rich or poor you should know wrong from right there is nothing for us to argue about on this blog beyounce is basically admitting to knowing what kanye was going to do before he did it.its simple no groupy love from me shes wrong
every time i get to thinking that bey has it going on she pops up with some lame azz mess . west standing up for art my butt. he should have never ever had his bucket head drunk butt on the stage, and why is bey bringing it up again , laud i hope she is not really findinf west funny, that was not funny at all. taylor should have cold kunked his head with her mic. then we would really see what bey finds funny about west actions.bey had better shut her mouth up because a lot of her fans has in some ways been trying to say that west was right and they had better leave that along. because the blow back on this could rear its ugly head and cause proplems for bey and west is going through. bey gave taylor her moment and that what she was suppoed to do because i know that bey do not want the fans feeling about her like they are about kwest. i think bey needs to find something else to laugh about because theres not a darn thing funny about what happen.
i think this is more than just the issue of being neutral. Beyonce being neutral? You don't know that. The problem with people here is that they are so affected. We tend to monstracized something even if somethings is not really a monster. So defensive and so scared and judging. Beyonce is just not a hater, she truly saw what Kanye was standing up for and that she knows deep that Kanye wasn't really after Taylor being hurt but he was just really wrong in voicing his opinion. "BEING NEUTRAL" what a bulls***. Pussies
Beyonce takes things in stride. When Etta James said that she wanted to kick her butt for singing At Last. Even though Beyonce produced and starred in a movie about Etta and had sung the song several times before. Beyonce laughed it off and said that Etta was a funny lady. But she still referred to James as a legend and influence for her. So even when people come after Beyonce, she doesn't have negative words for them. So I think that she's just not wanting to lay on the attacks against Kanye anymore. Plus, Beyonce did let Taylor finish her speech on stage. Like somebody said, she's just trying to be pretty neutral in the situation towards everyone.
Beyonce is just trying to be neutral about the situation. She let Taylor finish her speech, and she doesn't want to bash Kanye any further. Beyonce is a very sweet woman and does a lot of great things. She just tries to not be mean to anyone. But she doesn't like to be part of controversy, so I know that she didn't want Kanye to do what he did. She tried to make the best out of the situation as possible and like I said tried to be neutral towards everyone. The big statement, though, was letting Taylor come back onstage to finish her speech.
Beyonce would've not given her moment up to Taylor if she wanted to be selfish. She might've only spoken on it afterwards. She didn't have any obligation to let Taylor come on the stage with her. The crowd was booing Kanye for interrupting Taylor, not Beyonce. When Beyonce came out to perform, the crowd cheered her and gave her standing ovation. That was before Beyonce let Taylor have her moment. She never said that Taylor wasn't an artist. She's basically just repeating what Kanye said was the reason why he interrupted Taylor. But Beyonce obviously didn't want him to do it. She's very supportive of all artists and never has a bad word for anybody.
Beyonce is such an arrogant airhead. I don't know why the media builds this woman up like she is something special.
Doug, Samanhta & Heffto, you guys are very narrow minded. You don't know kanye or beyonce personally. Kanye was only voicing his opinion but in a very wrong way & in the wrong place. What kanye did was wrong but the problem is we are not in the position to assume that he wanted to hurt taylor to begin with. Yes we get it, he was wrong, but this isn't about you guys. Taylor is already cool with it and she accepted his apology. It was a mistake. Kanye is already moving on to improve on his life. So what do you want to happen? kill kanye? Next thing you know you are behaving just like what he did. HATERS!! You hate yourselves!!
i always knew beyounce was just as much a part of this as kanye.she didnt expect the crowd to boo her beyounce you know what it is like to be a star no one is interested in hearing if it wasnt for jayz teaching you to shake your ass and take your clothes off you would still be singing songs like i dont think ur ready for this jelly.taylor is an real artist .your a grown ass woman who can do nothing but show her ass jirating all over the place like a dog in heat.get ready foxy #2 carma is a b****
Beyonce is one of the most humble artists out there. I believe she's explaining what Kanye's intentions were.
What kind of person who cannot sing or play a musical instrument and is called a musician and wins music awards. Kanya West. A good reason why the music recording industry is loosing big bucks. People are too smart to buy garbage especially from talentless jerks. Art, really Beyonce, what do you know about art?
standing up for art? so what is taylor? is beyonce excusing kanye because she thinks she represents art....she is rude too she did give taylor a chance to say her speech, and she gave her her moment so is beyonce applauding herself...she did it too look good this b*tch is fake...i thought beyonce spoke her mind and wasnt afraid to say what is right and wrong apparently she isnt the strong woman i thought she was....
west was standin up for art? Whats that supposed to mean. How would Beyonce like it if Justin timberlake walked on stage and yanked the mic from her hand? It's to bad Beyone doesn't have the guts to call west a rude innappropriate jackass
