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.
It all played out okay in the end, but there was a lot of drama in between. Beyoncé had the wisdom to bring Taylor out on stage, and Taylor stayed to have her moment instead of leaving.”
y'all know what i odnt get ... why are country radios even playing WANEGBT? they are basically playing a pop song! as much as i want it to go top 10, the fact that it reached #13 with a pop song, with no country element at all, is actually pretty damn impressive!

Tay isn't the 1st to do that but when you combine that with the listener's feedback it doesn't surprise me it isn't doing well. I still think This Kiss by Faith Hill rivals this song in the lack of country elements department but that was a really great song so it did well regardless of the lack of country sound.

right? i SO wont be surprised if this doesnt go top 10, coz its insane if a pop song goes top 10 on country .. her brand name alone has helped the song do what its doing !
might as well go top 10 on urban and alternative !
