Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 208: Microphone grabbing incident

Link has been thinking about this issue since before the award ceremony. It was Taylor who originally won the award.

She is also the first country music singer to win the MTV Video Music Awards since its inception.

 When she won the award and gave her speech, the "Kanye grabbing the microphone" incident that shocked the music industry occurred. This incident also deeply affected the careers of Taylor and Kanye.

 Around 2017, Taylor was attacked by black fans and had a spat with Kanye and the Kardashians, which was also related to this incident.

Now that he is here, will Taylor still win the award? Will Kanye still run up to grab the microphone?

Link clasped his fingers and looked curiously at Taylor Lautner who opened the card on the stage. This guy seemed to be Taylor's ex-boyfriend.

　　“The winner for Best Female Video is Taylor Swift!”

Wow!

There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

 Taylor in the front row stood up excitedly, hugged Carrie Underwood and Lady Gaga next to her, and extended her arms to Link to hug him.

Link pumped his fist and stood up to applaud.

Taylor blew him a kiss and walked up to the podium with her skirt in hand amidst the warm applause of the crowd.

 “Falke! Why did she win? Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” is the best.”

 “Unfair! There is a shady story! This award should go to Beyoncé.”

Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake were arguing.

 “Stop arguing, your words don’t count.”

Link glanced at a few people and looked at Kanye next to T.I., and saw Kanye standing up from his seat and walking towards the podium in front.

Link shook his head. Some things that should happen will still happen. The butterfly effect is not as big as he thought.

 After Kanye left, he thought for a while, left the audience, and walked to the podium.

 “Hey, what are you all doing up here?”

On the stage, Taylor took the "Astronaut" sculpture trophy from Shakira's hand and just said something while holding the microphone.

Kanye came up, snatched the microphone from Taylor's hand, and said: "Hey, Taylor Swift, I'll let you finish your acceptance speech, but I want to say something first, Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" That’s the best.”

Wow!

The auditorium erupted into cheers.

 The audience looked at Kanye in disbelief.

 The MTV Video Awards is one of the three major awards in the American music industry. It contains a lot of gold and has attracted the attention of many people.

 The winners of the MTV Video Awards are also voted by the voting committee and fans. The whole process is relatively fair and impartial.

Kanye, a senior in the music scene who has been in the music industry for many years and the new king of the rap industry, rashly went on stage and snatched the microphone of a new singer and made inappropriate remarks.

This is not only a way of suppressing younger generations, but also a sign of ignoring the rules of the entertainment industry.

If everyone was like him, taking advantage of his fame and high status to question the fairness of the award and accuse the singer of not deserving of the award when the award winner gave a speech, all award ceremonies in the entertainment industry would be ruined.

 But now Kanye does it.

Link thought of many ways to deal with it when he saw Kanye take the stage.

 The first was to catch him back and pin him down on his seat, the second was to knock him unconscious and drag him away to prevent him from disturbing Taylor, and the third was to let things develop.

 After thinking about it, he felt that the third option was more appropriate.

Kanye did something wrong and would be criticized by public opinion afterwards. It would be better than teaching him a lesson himself.

Taylor was stimulated by this incident and was able to write more songs.

If you choose the first two, you will be helping Kanye fill a hole. Responding to violence with violence in front of the public will also bring some negative effects to yourself, and you may even be banned by the New York Sports Commission.

 “Hey, idiot, give the phone back to Taylor!”

Link walked up to the podium and waved to Kanye.

Wow!

 The audience cheered again, and the melon-eaters in front of the TV also widened their eyes.

Tonight's awards ceremony was too off-putting. First, Taylor unexpectedly won the award, and then the hip-hop king Kanye West came on stage to grab the microphone.

 Now Taylor’s boyfriend, the boxing champion Link, comes on stage to ask for the microphone for Taylor. This is more exciting than the plot in the movie.

 "Link, beat him! Beat him hard!"

Selena looked at the TV, pumped her fist and shouted.

 “Link won’t really go up to fight, right?”

 In front of the TV, Nora Duva said in surprise.

 “It’s impossible, Link is not that impulsive.”

While helping his daughter Vera blow dry her hair, Franco took a moment to watch TV.

 “Dad, can Brother Link beat that guy?”

Vera asked, staring at the TV with wide eyes.

“Haha, you should ask if you can knock Kanye off, my answer is yes.” Franco said with a smile.

 “Brother Link, hit him!”

Vera also shouted, waving her little fist.

 On the podium at the MTV Awards, Link waved at Kanye, who glared at him.

Link shook his head, reached for the microphone, pushed Kanye away and said to the audience: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I didn't expect to come up at this time, but I have to say, Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" "Although it's great, Taylor's "You Belong With Me" is the best of the show, and she deserves this award."

 “Yes! Link, we support you!”

 “Tyler is the best!”

 “Come on Taylor!”

 “Kanye, get out of here!”

The audience in the audience cheered lively, and many people gave Kanye a thumbs up on the stage and booed.

Kanye snorted coldly and walked off the podium with a dark face.

 “Hi Taylor, congratulations, how are you feeling now?”

Link asked, holding the microphone.

Taylor covered his mouth and looked at him in surprise, smiling: "It's not bad, I'm not affected."

“You are so brave! You said before that if you win and I don’t win, you will make dessert to compensate me. Are you going to lie?”

"of course not!"

Tyler rolled his eyes at him.

 “Very good, please continue your acceptance speech!”

Link smiled lightly, hugged Taylor, and turned to leave the stage.

 “Let’s fight, why don’t we fight?”

 “Oh! I thought the next one was an action movie, why would it be a romance movie? It’s so sweet.”

“I can’t stand it anymore, why do I still eat dog food while watching the award ceremony? Can you give us singles a way to survive?”

 “Link is so handsome, his boyfriend power is explosive!”

 “God, I really want to have a boyfriend like Link.”

 “Hey, man, wake up, you’re a boy.”

 “Taylor Swift gathers and besieges Kanye!”

When the MTV awards ceremony was held, Twitter was also live broadcasting it simultaneously.

Twitter's technical department will determine which celebrity is more popular based on the number and frequency of mentions of "celebrity names" in users' tweets during each period of time.

During the opening performance, Link's name was mentioned 380,000 times by Twitter users, and he deserved to be the first. His popularity slowly declined after Madonna came on stage to deliver her eulogy.

Just now when Taylor won the award and Kanye came on stage to grab the microphone, online public opinion exploded and the activity of Twitter users suddenly increased.

 Taylor and Kanye’s names were mentioned 450,000 times and 520,000 times.

When Link came to power, online public opinion exploded, and Twitter user activity quadrupled.

 ‘The 26th MTV Awards’ has become a hot word on major social platforms. Link’s name instantly rushed to the first place, exceeding 1.5 million times, and Taylor’s name also rushed to more than 1 million times, and remains at the top.

Link returned to his seat, Lil Wayne and the others glared at him, wanting to eat him.

 “The cameras are coming.”

Eminem reminded.

A few people snorted angrily and sat down with calm expressions. Kanye also sat in his seat with a gloomy face, looking at Link with angry eyes from time to time.

Link ignored them and continued to watch the performance on the stage.

After Taylor got the microphone back, he left the stage without saying anything and went to perform at the Sixth Avenue subway station.

According to the rules of the MTV Awards, every winning singer will perform on or offsite after winning the award, and everyone can watch it on the live screen.

Taylor sang the award-winning single "YouBelongWithMe".

The incident of Kanye grabbing the microphone had little impact on her, and her performance in the outfield was very stable.

 After Taylor’s performance, other awards continued to be presented.

Lady Gaga won the Best Newcomer Award for "PokerFace", but Link missed this award.

Beyoncé won the Video of the Year award for "Single Ladies".

 The two tied with 1:1.

Eminem won the Best Hip-Hop Video of the Year award for his single "WeMadeYou".

 The best male singer award came next, and Link immediately became serious.
