“I was standing on the stage and I was really excited because I had just won the award,” Swift said after Sunday’s show at Radio City Music Hall.

Berks County native Taylor Swift won her first MTV Video Music Award on Sunday, taking the night’s first statue for Best Female Video for her song ”You Belong With Me,” but had her big moment ruined when Kanye West jumped onstage to protest Beyonce ’s ”Single Ladies” not winning.

NEW YORK — The MTV Video Music Awards kicked off Sunday with a poignant, tender tribute to fallen icon Michael Jackson, but soon got back into raucous character thanks to Kanye West, who delivered yet another awards show outburst at the expense of country and pop sweetheart Taylor Swift.

“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo.
