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)
