You’ve probably already heard about West’s latest stunt – upstaging Taylor Swift at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Swift, who had just received a VMA for best female video, was about to give her “thank you” speech when West walked up onstage, grabbed the mic from her and told the audience that Beyoncé should have won the honor, proving once again that he still needs to work on his public persona.
Most VMA-inspired water cooler chatter today is centered on something that could be charitably described as West’s dumbest stunt yet. That is, until his next TV appearance gives him a chance to top himself.
The Kanye West / Lady Gaga tour, which runs November through January, launches in Phoenix on Nov. 10 at the US Airways Center. The next stop is San Diego on Nov. 11 for a show at the Viejas Arena.
