Being at the VMA's this year was an experience I will probably NEVER forget in my life. But even being on the red carpet, I'm always curious about what really happens behind the scenes at these outrageous award shows. Well an MTV exec is spilling deets about the going's on. Check out what he says happened after that infamous VMA moment with Yeezy and Taylor Swift!
Kanye Storms the Stage and Interrupts Taylor Swift (2009)
Toffler: “There’s no way any of us could have predicted
that — we didn’t orchestrate it. He came with a bottle of alcohol, so
he was in a festive mood to begin with. But we all were in shock in the
[production] truck when he walked up on stage and took the mic from
Taylor. I remember turning to one of the producers and going, ‘Do we not
have security?’ [But] we don’t put those big bulky guys on camera in
front of the talent. Maybe this guy thought Kanye belonged on the stage.
I said to our line producer, ‘You need to go talk to Kanye and
probably have him exit the building, and I will go deal with Taylor.’
And she was about to perform right after that break! She was a champ. I
would be lying if I said she and her mom weren’t crying when I saw them,
but she pulled it together. This was one of the most absurd VMA moments
for me, having to talk to her and her mom, and they’re crying and
upset, and this was her first time on the VMAs, and she had been used to
working on country shows with polite artists. This was a little bit
more chaotic than she was used to. And then I walked back behind the
stage to find Beyoncé crying about the incident. Ultimately I talked to
her and her dad and then went back to Taylor after her performance, and
an hour later Beyoncé brought Taylor back out so she could have her
moment.
