If you haven’t heard yet, apparently “the drama” was on high at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. After winning the award for Best Female Video, 19 year-old country singer Taylor Swift had the microphone stolen from her by rapper and Chicago-native Kanye West who came on stage to proclaim to the crowd how Beyonce should have won.

Kanye has since gone on to apologize on Jay Leno’s debut show last night and the country has backed up Swift on every appearance she’s had since the Sunday night award shows.  Swift has even said she would agree to meet with Kanye so he could apologize for his rude act in person, but he hasn’t reached out as of yet.

Which begs the question, why should anyone care about this?
