Kanye and Taylor Swift

By now everyone knows how Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech at the VMA the other night to say that he thought Beyonce should have won. I’m not into music at all, so I had never even seen the videos in question. I watched both of them — Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and Swift’s “You [...]

Totally clueless
