Such is the significance of the cultural moment that Billboardhas published an oral history of the event from the points of view of the producers and MTV staff plus reporters who witnessed the scene unfolding before their very eyes. He grabbed the mic from the country music singer and proclaimed that because Beyoncé had one of the 'best videos of all time' with 'Single Ladies' she should have won instead.

It's been almost 10 years since Kanye West stormed Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs, to claim that Beyoncé should have been awarded the Moon Man figurine instead.
