Taylor Swift's recent diss at the MTV Video Music Awards by hip-hop star Kanye West is making headlines, and it seems Swift is gaining massive amounts of support, including from one of her muses, Tim McGraw.

In a recent interview with CMT Insider, McGraw said of West, "He shows himself to be an idiot every time he does stuff like that. [My girls] were upset. But what he did do is provide a great example of how not to be, and my girls learned a big lesson."

The star then added, "when they weren't looking I said, "He needs an a -- whoopin'!"

West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech for "You Belong To Me," indicating that Beyonce should have won the best female video. 

West later apologized to Swift on his blog and over the phone.

The award was Swift's first MTV Video award; she was the first Country Music artist to be honored with such an award.

The full interview with McGraw can be seen on CMT Insider this Saturday, Sept. 19, at 1:30 p.m.
