For a girl like Taylor Swift, we imagine her worst VMA nightmare would be tripping in her Zanotti's or spilling cranberry juice on her dress.
Too bad she didn't anticipate Kanye West ruining her winning moment for Best Female Video.
The outspoken rapper stormed the stage when Taylor's name was announced (for her first Moonman) and grabbed the mic. He imparted that he was happy over her winning the trophy, "but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!"
