KANYE WEST CALLED TAYLOR SWIFT TO APOLOGIZE . . . AFTER SHE SAID ON "THE VIEW" THAT HE HADN'T:
Wednesday September 16th, 2009
On Monday night, KANYE WEST told JAY LENO that he'd, "like to be able to apologize to [TAYLOR SWIFT] in person." And yesterday, he DID call her.
We don't know exactly what he said . . . but yesterday afternoon Taylor told ABC News, "Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology and I accepted that apology."
She added, "The support that I got from other artists and from the fans and so many people sticking up for me, that's what got me to the place that I could accept that apology. I'm just very thankful that everyone showed me so much love."
Kanye has taken a LOT of heat from the media, fans, and other celebrities since he RUDELY interrupted her acceptance speech at the "MTV Video Music Awards" . . . and has spent most of the past few days issuing various apologies.
But he didn't contact Taylor directly until AFTER her appearance on "The View" yesterday morning, where she revealed that she had not heard from him directly.
In that interview, the yentas asked her what was going through her mind when she won . . . and then found herself in the middle of Kanye's latest award show meltdown.
She responded, "I think my overall thought process went something like: 'Wow, I can't believe I won . . . this is awesome . . . don't trip and fall . . . I'm gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool . . . oh, Kanye West is here . . .
". . . cool hair cut . . . what are you doin' there?' And then, 'Ouch.' And then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.'"
When SHERRI SHEPHERD asked if she'd be willing to meet with Kanye to hear his "face-to-face" apology, Taylor said, "Sure. I mean, he has not personally reached out or anything, but if he wanted to say hi . . ."
Then, BARBARA WALTERS interrupted her . . . something that Taylor is getting used to these days . . . to ask her a question that she'd just answered: "He hasn't called or sent a message or an email or anything?" Taylor, obviously, answered in the negative.
Then she added, "I'm not gonna say I wasn't rattled by it. I had to perform live five minutes later, and I had to get myself back to the place where I was gonna perform."
