Beyonce has finally broken her silence regarding Kanye West’s “interruption” at the Video Music Awards in September.
Beyonce Knowles lost to Taylor Swift for Best Female Video which prompted Kanye to storm the stage and grab the microphone from Swift as she accepted her award. Beyonce now says that she understands West’s motivation.
“Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award,’” she told O: The Oprah Magazine editor-at-large Gayle King.
“When they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked,” Knowles, 28, added. “And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’ ”
Later in the evening Beyonce won Video of the Year and she graciously called Swift back on stage to let the Best Female video award winner finish her speech.
“In the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment – and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech,” Knowles added with a laugh.

Beyonce really had the best reaction to what Kanye did.
Like the classy individual she is, she took the high road and put the spotlight back on Taylor.
You can tell a lot about a person by the way they react in certain situations – so it’s obvious what kind of character Beyonce has – as well as show exactly who Kanye is!

Looks like Taylor has had the last word. She pretty much cleaned up at the CMA rewards. Good for her she deserved it!
