WEST PROTEST LEFT SHAKIRA FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE

KANYE WEST's rude onstage protest at the MTV Video Music Awards in September (09) was lost in translation for SHAKIRA - she only realised the rapper was not onstage to pay tribute to TAYLOR SWIFT when she saw the horror on the faces of the audience.
The Colombian pop star had just presented the Female Video of the Year award to Swift when West staged his protest, grabbing the microphone and insisting the prize should have gone to Beyonce.
But Shakira had no idea what was going on.
She explains, "At first I was kind of spaced out. I wasn't really paying attention. I noticed he'd jumped onstage and I thought he was something actually nice, so I kept smiling.
"Then I noticed that the faces in the crowd started changing. They started to cringe. I realised what he was saying, and it was terribly uncomfortable. We all left the stage and everyone was so p**sed backstage."
