Oh, Kanye, what were you thinking? That's the Minnesota Nice way to sum up the collective reaction Monday to singer Kanye West's outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
But West's fellow celebs were not so nice about West ruining Taylor Swift's moment onstage for winning best female video of the year for "You Belong With Me." West grabbed the mic away from the 19-year-old country sensation to say Beyoncé should have won instead.
Celebs weren't going to let West have the last word.
On Twitter, Katy Perry used a choice epithet for West followed by: "It's like u stepped on a kitten."
Pink's tweet was perhaps the most blunt: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of [expletive] on earth. Quote me."
Country singer Kellie Pickler tweeted to Swift, "Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace," and, after something unprintable, told West: "don't mess w/my lil sis!!"
John Mayer also tweeted his support to Swift: "Big love to my girl @taylorswift13. A class act."
Kelly Clarkson went to her blog to lash out at West: "What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like [expletive]."
