Kanye West is a tool, ask Taylor Swift

Kanye West is a tool. He couldn't have picked a worse time, or worse target, to show once again just how big of one he is than interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

He didn't just interrupt an acceptance speech, he interrupted the princess of country music's "welcome to the world" moment, well, the rest of the world who didn't already know who she was.

Taylor plays the "I can't believe this is happening to me, wow, I'm so shocked" card better than anyone else (she's won almost every country music award that matters, at some point, she needs to just say "thank you," and leave the stage- and do so quickly before anyone else can interrupt her again.) She was playing it again Sunday night, but this time rightfully so. When was the last time a country artist was nominated for an award, let alone won one? Never, she's the first country artist to win a Moonman. Not only was she a nominee, winner and performer, she was the first artist to confirm her appearance at the show and headlined its marketing campaign.

These are major accomplishments for any artist, but the fact Taylor is a country artist dominating an MTV award show makes it even more amazing, though its not surprising she'd be the first to do so. She brings country music to fans who otherwise wouldn't listen to the genre. In an era where CD sales are down, she continues to sell millions of them. She headlines her own tours, dominates award shows, makes Kellie Pickler worth listening to and gets awards created just to be handed out to her. She is not only the future of country music, but the future of country music may very well rest, in part, on her shoulders.

There she was, on a stage in a city that doesn't even have a country music radio station, about to be introduced to a world not known by any country artist not named Darius Rucker, acknowledging just how rare that was. All of a sudden, she got the micaphone stolen from her hands by a hip hop artist who used it to belittle her and strongly suggest Beyonce should have won the trophy she was holding.

It doesn't matter what he, or anyone, thought of Taylor Swift's video (it's not her best, this one is), his actions were disrespectful for the forum he used to broadcast them. It was the equivalent of Shaq welcoming top overdraft pick Blake Griffin to the NBA by coming out of the stands and slamming the ball down this throat as he attempts to dunk the ball during a Clippers-Bulls game: just as unexpected as it is unwelcomed.

Not only did West manage to upset every 16-year old girl in the country in a matter of seconds, he looked look a complete jerk doing it. The end result looked very much like a grown man picking on a teenage girl on live TV during one of the highest points of her young career.

Though Taylor's introduction to the other side of the red carpet was rudely interrupted, it did not adequately reflect the rest of the music world's feelings towards Taylor. The audience booed West, he was asked to leave, fans chanted Taylor's name the rest of the night anytime his videos were nominated for an award and Beyonce invited her on stage during her win to finish her speech. The fallout there didn't stop for West, some radio stations are vocally banning his music from their airwaves.

Expect West to check himself into a rehab center in the next six days to try to save face and for Taylor Swift to make an appearance on Saturday Night Live this season. There is no stopping Taylor these days, no matter how big the tool that tries is.

Bonus Taylor Swift: girls I'd cheat on her with and why you shouldn't have bought her Beautiful Eyes CD.
