Kanye Offers Taylor Swift Personal Apology

After Taylor Swift told the ladies on "The View" that Kanye West had "not personally reached out" to apologize for the VMAs incident, the rapper called and offered Taylor a personal apology.

Taylor had told the ladies of "The View" of the incident, "I think my overall thought process was something like, 'Wow I can't believe I won. This is awesome. Don't trip and fall. I'm going to get to thank the fans, this is so cool -- oh, Kanye West is here, cool haircut, what are you doing there? And then ouch, and then I guess I'm not going to get to thank the fans."

Last night, West told Jay Leno that he wanted to apologize to Taylor in person -- and while the starlet revealed that she would meet with him, she admitted that he had not yet "personally reached out or anything." After "The View" aired this morning, Kanye called Taylor to offer his personal apology.

Swift admitted that Kanye's hijacking of the mic left her "rattled," but she remained composed and returned to the stage shortly after to sing. "I had to perform live five minutes later, so I had to get myself back to the place where I could perform."

Since Kanye's interruption, Swift said she's received an outpouring of support from fans, which has helped. "I never imagined that there were that many people looking out for me," she said. "It was really wonderful to see there were people out there defending me so I didn't have to."

Taylor Swift has handled the situation really well. That was not cool what Kanye did to her. That was a big moment for Taylor and now when she looks back at it,it will be a messed up memory of Kanye doing that to her. He has lost a lot of respect from a lot of people and his fans. He also didn’t have a right to do that, the people choose not him.

I don’t care what his excuse is, he was just rude. U just don’t do that to a 17 year old girl.

I don’t believe Kanye’ apology was at all sincere. He’s just another idiot that’s let fame get to his head. I don’t think people should buy any more of his albums.

He only apologized personally to Taylor after her appearance on the View. This makes me think that his apology is insincere. That apology changes nothing…still a jerk.

Kanya was not sincere at all with his apology. Had Leno not brought up the question about his mom he would have never gone there. He needs to think about his actions and really should have been escourted out!

that guy — and I use that term loosely — needs to grow up. it’s just more proof he is an idiot and socially inept. give me a break…how sad he has to use the death of his mom as an excuse. he acted like that before he died..he has no clue how to act any other way. it’s just sad. maybe everyone should boycott his music & it might help him gain some maturity!

Kanye took the 1 thing from a 19 year old girl that can never be replaced…..her 1st moment to shine as the best of something. No matter how many times he says I’m sorry it doesn’t bring back that moment where he had Montezuma’s revenge of the mouth
