Well well well, I was talking to a professor of mine today who is a great journalist/writer and we were discussing the incident that involved Kanye West humiliating the young Taylor Swift at the VMA's. She had a most interesting theory that West hurting caused the outburst. I was thinking that since West's mother passed, he has been lost without her. Either way someone needs to talk with this young misguided star before his shine fades. His fame has completely shot to a new level of outrageous antics and stupidity since his mother, who was also his rock, passed.
It is as if he is almost a different person these days. Since she passed, West has put out an album of singing which while entertaining is not his forte. And he is obviously disturbed about where he is in life. Now what am I saying? Am I giving West an excuse from his behavior? Oh no not at all. I am saying that this most unpleasant outburst came from somewhere deeper than the bottle of liquor he drank on the red carpet before going into the event.
All in all, Taylor Swift is a gifted song writer that will be around for years to come if her fame so far is any indication. Her album "Fearless" has gone number one in fourteen different countries. The song "You Belong with Me" which she won best female video over Beyonce and Lady Gaga, shows her tremendous crossover ability by landing as high as number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Amid all of the success her first VMA win will always be tarnished by West's inappropriate actions.
