kanye west interrupts taylor swift on stage at the 2009 VMAs <\/em><\/h5>\n

it’s been ten years since kanye west<\/strong> interrupted taylor swif<\/strong>t on stage at the mtv video music awards<\/strong> and spoke these memorable words:<\/p>\n

yo, taylor, i’m really happy for you, ima<\/em> let you finish. but beyonc\u00e9 had one of the best videos of all time!<\/h4>\n

ima<\/a><\/strong><\/em> is a reduction of i’m gonna<\/em>.<\/p>\n

in an effort to establish a more complete record of everything that happened, gil kaufman<\/strong> compiled an oral history<\/a> on billboard.com<\/strong> of what went down<\/em><\/strong> (happened) from people who were there.<\/p>\n

kanye and amber rose on the red carpet before the 2009 VMAs (michael loccisano\/getty images)<\/em><\/h5>\n

i was like<\/em>, “what’s up with u?” and he was like<\/em>, “i’m here living my best life<\/em>.”<\/h4>\n

like<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is used here to introduce dialogue. living my best life<\/strong><\/em> is a fashionable phrase used to show success. it’s the second part of the title of this big hit from last year by duval<\/strong>, snoop dogg<\/strong>, ball greazy<\/strong> and midnight star<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
