Taylor Swift says she would meet with Kanye West, who famously interrupted her during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

"Sure," she said on ABC's The View Tuesday. "I mean, he has not personally reached out or anything."

Asked about the incident, Swift, 19, said, "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 going to get to thank the fans. This is so cool. Oh, Kanye West is here! Cool haircut.'"

Then as he spoke - telling audiences that Beyonce deserved to win - Swift said she thought, "'What are you doing there? ... Ouch.' And then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans."

Added Swift, "I'm not gonna say I wasn't rattled by it."

She said she was appreciative of all the support she received.

Said Swift, "All the artists came and showed me love and all the people Tweeting about it ... all the fans ... I never imagined there were that many people out there looking out for me, defending me so I didn't have to."

As for West, 32, he told Jay Leno Monday night that he's taking "some time off" to figure out the reasons behind his behavior.

"I am a celebrity and that's just something I'm going to have to deal with," he said.

    It's perfectly fine for people to speak their mind, idiot, if they have one. It is not fine to do it during someone's acceptance speech.

    I agree. Kanye needs to be band or fine for disrupting the show in an unprofessional way. Any sports player that taunts another player is ejected from the game. He needs to take a long break. I know I'm over him. Next!!!

    Kanye You are like a little time bomb waiting to explode. Please take the time out that you spoke about so you can get it together. You have been bless with fame and fortune. With this lifestyle comes a big responsibility to the public. United we stand divided we fall. You can't put one up and take one down. The way you felt should have been kept to yourself. Being disrespectful is not nice and I believe your mom taught you better then that. I am glad you apologized. A nice bouquet of flowers and a card with your apology to Taylor would be a great start. We have to learn that the choices we make in life can make us or break us, so choose to make decisions that are positive and not negative. Somethings should not be spoken in public especially when someone gets hurt. Do your best to make up because sometimes actions do speak louder then words. Take time out to clear your mind and leave the drinking behind because it does alter your way of thinking. After the rain the sun always comes out and there will always be a better day then yesterday. God bless you my son take care and go with God.

    Did everyone see how he and a few of his friends were drinking out of a fifth of Hennessy Whiskey before entering the awards auditorium? He was freaking drunk, and trying to show off his ridiculous hair cut, he will never be forgiven for acting such a U-KNOW WHAT!!!!

    I hate how blacks treat caucasians and asians like crap. Taylor swift, A beautiful caucasian country singer, Embarresed and disrespected by a black man, Kayne. And what did Kayne do when he got the mic? He said taylor didnt deserve to win and that beyonce(a black girl) should have won! I hope kayne is happy with his racist ugly self,
