Kanye West tops Grammys Twitter chatter for storming the stage…again
Kanye West stole the show at the Grammys on Sunday (8 February) after interrupting Beck during his acceptance speech for Album of the Year for his record ‘Morning Phase’.
Yeezus topped the Twitter conversations at the 57th Grammys after replicating his infamous Taylor Swift interruption at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and Beck trumped Beyonce to the Album of the Year award.
Sam Smith, who picked up four prizes was the second most talked about star, with Beyonce being followed by Ed Sheeran and Iggy Azelea. In addition to generating the most social media discussions, West's interruption also sparked the event's most tweets-per-minute record, according to Twitter. Madonna’s risqué live performance came second with Sam Smith accepting his fourth award coming third.
