Taylor Swift said,“My version of ‘Tonight’ was pretty theatrical, because I listened to the song and I heard the song and I’m just like, ‘There’s no way to do this and not play it up,’ ” the 19-year-old country cutie said. “When we were in the studio recording, it I just kind of went all out — all show tunes. I am obsessed with Broadway, so I was pretty excited about getting to sing this song.”

Here are some of the 2009 VMA promo pics:

Ne-Yo was performing at his concert in Manchester, UK, when he suddenly started crying, and told the crowd he could not continue but promised to return in concert soon.

Apparently, he was feeling very “sick”… but that just doesn’t sound right to me. This reminds me of when Lady Sovereign kept going onstage and crying after one song and walking off because “she didn’t feel well.”  Shady.
