Stars React to Kanye Stealing Taylor's Thunder

The No. 1 topic on Twitter Sunday night was, of course, Kanye West's rude antics at the MTV VMA Awards. And everyone is on Team Taylor. Here are a few of our favorite "tweets" from country stars:

"Poor Kanye. so shy, so humble, such a class act. why doesn't anyone like him? I mean come on! Just kidding of course - he's a total ass." -- Brad Paisley

"Sorry y'all but we're just a little bit protective of Taylor Swift around here!! Hey Kanye.. By around here, I mean the world!! Moron...." -- Blake Shelton

"Kanye West is the classic case of a guy who never got his &#@ kicked as a kid! You give the rest of us a bad RAP!" -- David Nail

"Tator Tot, you handled yourself with grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls b----! don't mess with my lil sis!" -- Kellie Pickler, who later tweeted, "I apologize for my language, I'm just f-ing pissed."

"Pretty much would love to get redneck on Kanye's ass right now. Classless." -- Randy Houser

"Taylor Swift won me as a fan for life for her grace, as did Beyonce...humility and a humble spirit go a long way in this life and the next." -- Rissi Palmer

"Kanye when're you gonna figure out you're NOT the "voice of our generation?" No one thinks you're as awesome as you're convinced you are." -- Love and Theft's Brian Bandas

"This just in: Serena Williams is now dating Kanye West!!!" -- Oak Ridge Boys' Joe Bonsall

"Kanye West. Is anyone surprised? It's a character issue. His is deeply flawed. He's made an ass out of himself many times." -- James Otto

"I wish I would have won an MTV VMA. Kanye would be missing some teeth if he pulled that s--- on me." -- Joe Nichols

"Let's invite Kanye West to the CMAs and see how long he lasts!" -- CMT's Katie Cook

"It's not like HE could have won Female Vid. Though maybe he could have, since now we see he wears panties and they were in a wad.
" -- CMT's Lance Smith

"KanyeWest is a lowlife. He needs to have his @@@ kicked in the middle of the stage right now! What a piece of @@@@!!! Go TAYLOR SWIFT." -- John Rich

"Tell Taylor I will take a pic after I run over Kanye and leave scooter tracks on his face!!!" -- Two Foot Fred

"You can't steal Taylor Swift's thunder. He only made himself look like an a**" -- Jewel

"Kanye West should be banned from all music events. How disrespectful!" -- Diamond Rio

"I wish people knew when to keep their mouth shut! Love you T!!
" -- Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott

"Like school in the summertime -- no class." -- Michelle Branch

And from Taylor's fellow Best Female Video nominees:

"My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her." -- Pink

"F--- YOU KANYE. IT'S LIKE YOU STEPPED ON A KITTEN." -- Katy Perry

"Dear Kanye, What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? ... 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 s-. I mean, I've seen you do some pretty s-ty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a--hole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my a--hole ex that cheated on me over you ... The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up ... I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her ... so why can't you be?? I'm not even mad at you, I just pity you because you're a sad human being ... Taylor Swift, you outsell him, that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!" -- Kelly Clarkson (via her blog)

It takes a big man to pick on a teenager. I would have loved to see him try and pull that sh*t on Pink...She would've kicked his ass.

I love Taylor Swift and would never say anything to dis-respect her, but everyone is upset that he stepped all over her - justifiably so - in actuality he took away from Taylor AND Beyonce. He broke Taylor's heart so she never got to say thank you then Beyonce being as classy as she is gave HER time to Taylor so she could have her moment. He really ended up jacking BOTH of their moment's. He is still pathetic. Maybe now after catching so much flack for his action's he will think twice before he give's his unwanted opinion. Good grief I hope so.

Please just do some research on Glen Beck; he is not like Russ Limbaugh or Ann Coulter. Sometimes his sarcasm is a bit much but he is an equal opportunity accuser when it comes to blame. He loves his country. He has a lot of valuable insight on what is happening to our country, none of which has to do with race. Kayne is a racist; everybody knows he is a racist, but he cannot blame it on being a poor little underprivileged child. He has an incredible talent, but he's throwing it all away. I'm from Virginia; there are two other young gifted and talented men who also really messed up, Chris Brown and Michael Vick, neither of whom had the advantages of Kanye West, so one came possibly attribute their actions to "too much, too soon". It looks like both are being given another chance,and I am thankful for that. Kayne, I'm fed up with his crap.

I take offense at the President referring to Kanye West as a Jackass. That is certainly an insult to Jackasses everywhere and I hope they file a class action defamation of character suit against O. Kanye made Taylor Swift a bigger star than she already was.

I don't think anyone should be treated the way Kanye treated Taylor. She is a 17 year old young lady about to make her acceptance speech and this ass jumps on stage from out of nowhere grabs the mike and proves his ignorance. Why, because he wanted to score some brownie points with his mentor Jay-Z by saying Beyonce had the best video of all time. Beyonce was in shock because the look on her face was like , she could not believe he was doing this. But Beyonce being a lady of class called Taylor out so she could make her speech . I thought that was beautiful and nicely done. Kanye you are a punk and you do not deserve to be on stage with anyone.

This is what Kanye wants...whether it negative publicity or positive, all he wants is someone to be talking about his ugly ass...What he needs to do is stop treating people like he acts and make decent songs that people can relate to, try not to sing like he did on the no one remix with Alicia Keys and develop a heart, soul and mind.... Point blank KANYE WEST NEEDS JESUS IN HIS LIFE!!!!!

For that will read these comments by me: Am African American and I am not a fan of Kayne West. I feel what he did to Taylor Swift, whom am not familar with was totally wrong. Kayne never had class even though he came from a home where both of his parents are Phd's and very upper middle class. Kayne is one of those person in the music business that thinks what he doing is important. He has been rewarded too much too early just like a lot of sport stars are. But my feeling of his action at that award show was a promo for him for his upcoming appearence on Jay Leno's new show just like that Congressman Joe Wilson used that joint session of President Obama to get the donates and support to run for his seat again. Joe Wilson got a slap on the wrist for his hollering while the President of the United States was holding session instead of an escort out of the chamber. Joe Wilson is a racist regertless of what he says or those that support him says. Joe Wilson also showed that he feel he do not have to show to President Obama because he is black in part this loser would not have done that the President if he was white dem or repub. Joe Wilson is probably a secret Klan member like a lot of these people who have showed nothing but disrespect to President Obama. Now there will probably be some of you who are going to say am playing the "race card", well, you will be wrong because I as an African American can never play the "race card" because I do not have the power to determine the out come of a race of people like the whites of this country have done for many many years. Also, if the "race card" is taken out of the deck before the card are dealt it would not be played! Take it out of the deck in ways of stop judging people of color. President Obama has the right to run for the office that he won last November by the votes casted for him by the contry. Please stop letting persons like Limbaugh, Hannity, O' Reily, Beck, Coulter, and Sarah casting their racism on you. The time has come when this country should really accept people in it for the betterment. This country would be much more if it had done that years ago. Stop the hate. Kayne West is one of the a**hole that all races have, i.e., Joe Wilson and Glen Beck.

What Kanya West, did was so wrong. He wouldn't have done that, if it had been a man. I would rather think that he did this not because he is a racist, but because, she was a woman, and he is a iddiot. I am a black woman, and I love country music. I have been listening to it at a very young age. What Kanya did to Taylor Swift is unexceptible. I would never buy any of his records. He also, clames to be, the new king of pop. The kid is crazy. P.s. Don't buy his record's and he will go away. He really did Taylor a favor. I bet her sells will rise. What goes around, comes around. Joyce D. a.k.a Lady J.

Kanye is a pos I'd pay to see him at the CMA'S then pay to see his ass beating afterwards...if he makes it that long.
