West gives Swift personal apology
Wednesday 16 September 2009
West mounted the stage during Swift's acceptance speech for her Best Female Video award to tell the crowd that Beyoncé Knowles' video should have won.
He has since apologised twice on his blog, though in his first post he continued to hint that Beyonce should have won, and also went on Jay Leno's new talkshow to talk about his regret.
Swift appeared on US TV show 'The View' - the series upon which ITV's 'Loose Women' is based - on Tuesday morning and revealed that West had yet to personally contact her. The rapper and producer called her immediately to offer a personal apology .
Afterwards, she told ABC News: "Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology."
West apologised to Swift's mother immediately after the VMAs and in one of his blog apologies, he admitted: "I feel like Ben Stiller in 'Meet the Parents' when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave."
