This meme come into life at the MTV awards in September 13, 2009, when country artist Taylor Swift won the award for best female video and as she was on stage telling her acceptance speech, Kayne West, got on the stage, took the mic from Taylor and said this: "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time". Then he stormed off the stage only to get kicked out of the show. Since all the time dedicated to Taylor Swift was taken away from her, the commercial brake started and she could not finish her speech. Later in the music awards when Beyonce won the price for best video of the year, she invited Taylor Swift on stage with her, so that she could finish her speech. Later that same night Kanye West posted an apology on his blog(See picture under). This apology was later removed from his blog. This outrageous act of Kayne West became the number one news being covered all over the US. It is all clear why this meme became so rapidly popular, it was an outrageous outburst live on national TV. Kayne West deserved all the public shame he got, later on he apologized publicly, but it was just after Taylor Swift had stated on a TV show on the 15th that he had not apologized personally, after this he called her and apologized, which she accepted. For their part the incident was over, but the meme continued to spread all over the internet. Because, once it's out there, it will never end. This event spread across the internet at a fast rate. On Twitter Kayne was the #1 topic for the following two days, and for the following week he stayed on top five. A quick Google insights search (below) shows that this meme became rapidly popular and that it dropped down quick but the meme continues to be popular for quite some time. Several other meme's emerged out of this scandal. E.g. Kayne's apology message on his blog became a song.
