He should have stuck to speaking only on the red carpet

Kanye West emerged as the biggest loser at this year’s Grammy Awards, despite the fact that he was included in two of the most talked about moments of the night. He did that by trying to hijack all attention from Beck when he won Album of the Year, walking up on stage and then badmouthing him to reporters.

Still, Kanye’s night wasn’t as bad as you might think. In fact, had he stuck to talking only during the red carpet ceremony, he might have had a stellar night.

For once in a very long time, Kanye was actually witty and pleasant on the red carpet, as his interview with Ryan Seacrest confirms. He was also a bit snarky when he didn’t appreciate Ryan’s joke, which made the interview even better.

The two Vines below are from said red carpet chat: in one, Kanye makes fun of his own public image, explaining his decision not to smile for photos anymore. The lengthier explanation is that he doesn’t think he looks “regal” when he does it, as he noticed that various figures in 19th century paintings didn’t do it.

Smiling is simply not cool.

The second one is with the snarky comment to Ryan. However, before you get to either, the GIF is proof that Kanye really had a blast on the red carpet, because he mocked his no-smiling policy in an interview with Entertainment Tonight as well.
