So at the 2015 Grammy Awards, when Beck’s _Morning Phase_ surprisingly won Album of the Year over Beyoncé and others, West stormed the stage once again, as captured in the Vine above. Beyoncé and Jay Z’s reactions to the stunt were priceless: Let’s give West the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a tongue-in-cheek nod to the bad behavior he’s since sworn off, not genuine outrage. Either way, he fortunately thought better of it before reaching the mic. Somewhere, Taylor Swift’s heart is only _just_ starting to beat at a regular pace. ### Grammys 2015: Red Carpet Photos  Taylor Swift attends the 57th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on Feb. 8, 2015 in Los Angeles, Calif.
