Kanye West has phoned Taylor Swift and personally apologized for dissing her at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards — and she has accepted, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.
A rep for The View tells Us that West, 32, called Swift, 19, Tuesday afternoon after she appeared on the ABC show and said the rapper hadn't yet "personally reached out" to her."
Swift later told ABC News Radio: "Kanye did call me, and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology."

West also apologized live on Monday's premiere of The Jay Leno Show.
"I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt — and I don't try to justify it because I was just in the wrong," he said.

He added, "I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve. Because I am a celebrity, and that's something I have to deal with."

147I don't think Kanye West can possibly apologize for all the BS he has delivered throughout the years. He is chemically imbalanced and belongs in a straight-jacket. His public apology was planned almost as well as his outburst and his apologies to any other public figure he has offended(VERY MANY!) and I can easily see that; he stated he was ashamed that his 'hurt' caused someone else's 'hurt'. That someone else's hurt would never have happened if he hadn't jumped on staged and acted like a mentally-slow child(as he usually does in public) who derives joy in stealing the spotlight. Personally, I don't understand why Kanye West is even recognized to this day as a public figure of any repute, whether it be in politics or music. This is one instance in which I would prefer the 1900's over today; at least back then they would have sent the white-jackets after him with the butterfly nets. Kanye deserves the nuthouse, as much as he deserves a good-old lobotomy.
He was wrong from calling her out like dat. Point is he was wrong.
O_o.... deary me.... I'm agreed than Kanye was an asshole to do that... but the comments here are seriously worrying. You racists might want to have a think about Hitler, Stalin, and all those white people who have done things that are a just a little bit worse than this. (Of course, we could also mention Bin Laden and his Al Qaida friends, world war 2 Japan, quite a few South American and African dictators, ....) really, why does one attention seeking idiot's behavior have to turn into a load of 'black people are so stupid/unpleasant' crap? Seriously - shut up and engage your brains.... skin color has nothing at all to do with this (besides, it's all the white kids buying into hip-hop culture who fuel people like Kanye's egos, you know... )
..what and the hell does he think he is ....
kanye is crazy i believe he did that just for fame so people can start knmowing him with all these new artist out here he got tired of being in the dark. that was very fukin immature i hate him for that ughh..
digg up his momms and piss on that dead bitch.
digg up his momms and piss on that dead bitch.
DIDD UP HIS "MOMMS" AND PISS ON HER.
wow such hate. im just as upset about kanye's behavior as anyone but he would have acted that way even if he was white, mexican, asian, martian, or the fukkin flyin purple people eater. BTW im white. But seriously - you guys need to grow the eff up and see that he obviously feels remorse for his actions, and taylor (THE VICTIM) is FINE!!!!! so lets all just say "kanye has issues but what can ya do" and leave it... all this name calling and finger pointin is SOOOOO stupid. Jesus loves us all.

So the man apologized. He's still stealing her thunder. She won and it's all about him. We need to ignore tantrums and stop rewarding bad behaviour by giving him press. I am done talking about that little jerk.
Good. He apologized. Maybe now this girl and the people who coddle her (mostly on here) will allow everyone to get back to their normal lives without hearing her whine about it another day. It wasn't even a big deal, but everyone needs something to cry about it. Get used to it, Taylor. You're music isn't great. Nobody cares to hear your sappy country songs about the ugly teenage boy in the Jonas Bros. who dumped you.
i personally think everyone needs to get over this whole situation. Yes what kanye did was un-called-for, but he has apologized and lets just focused on the future to see if he makes that change. I dont think he's a bad person he just made a personal comment at the wrong time. Bill Clinton lied to the country about infedelity, Kobe Bryant cheated on his wife and got caught for it. Chris Brown allegedly beat up rihanna. Yet we were able to forgive all of these people, because we realized they are human. I know every body that was watching the VMA's were thinking "how did Taylor win against beyonce, pink....."So how does that make us any different from kanye. He just did it in front of the camera. Once again he's apologized, so lets move on. Theres alot worse going on in the world. MOVE ON PEOPLE...
