VMA Awards
Where were you if you weren’t watching the 2009 Video Music Awards? This particular VMA night has a permanent place in pop culture history because it’s the time that Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech so he could praise Beyoncé. “Imma let you finish…” will forever live on.
He argued that Beyoncé was a more deserving recipient of the award than anyone else who was up for consideration. There is no way to refute the fact that the phrase “Imma let you finish…” has irrevocably etched itself into the lexicon of popular culture.
2018 Olympics
17 year old Red Gerard was at the 2018 Olympics for snowboarding when he overslept, lost his coat, WON gold, and said “Holy sh*t” on live TV. Gerard was actually the first American to win gold at the PyeongChang Olympics. What a hero.
As a result of the fact that he was the first athlete from the United States to win a gold medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics, he will forever be remembered as an important figure in Olympic history. What a fascinating and eventful past there is!
