Taylor Swift And Kanye West Finally Speak After His Outburst

VIA THE GRIO:

NEW YORK — It looks like Kanye West has finally given a personal apology to Taylor Swift.

Representatives from “The View” say West called the country sensation after her appearance on Tuesday’s show. During the broadcast, the 19-year-old singer said West had yet to contact her to apologize for hijacking her acceptance speech on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.

“He has not personally reached out or anything but if he wanted to say hi (I would),” said Swift.

After Swift’s comments, West called her and the two spoke, according to a statement from “The View.”

“After the show he spoke personally to the country music superstar via telephone and has apologized to the 19-year-old singer. She has accepted Mr. West’s apology. The contents of the phone call are to remain private,” it read.

It’s the latest in the saga that has caused a national uproar. The drama began after Swift beat out Beyonce and other acts to win best female video at the VMAs for her hit “You Belong With Me.”

Swift, the first country act to win at the VMAs, was exuberant after her win, but that moment didn’t last long as West — known for his awards-show meltdowns — grabbed the microphone and declared that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was one of the “best videos of all time.”

A shaken Swift did not finish her speech at that moment, but when Beyonce later won for video of the year, she brought Swift out so that she could have her moment.
