When Kanye West phoned Taylor Swift Sept. 15 to apologize for interrupting her at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, it was heartfelt, the singer says.

"I've been alive for 19-and-a-half years, and I've experienced a few different kinds of apologies, and that one was sincere," she said on SIRIUS XM's Morning Mash Up radio show Friday.
In addition to issuing two apologies on his blog, West, 32, also told Jay Leno he was planning to "take some time off" to try to understand why he made his latest outburst.

Said the rapper, "I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt."
Tell Us What You Think
158to all yal who comment about this how about u shut the fu** up ok the man said sorry it aint like the lil girl is real good her song and everythin suck 4 real and anontmous u can reall shut the fu** 4 real cuz if a white person did do that 2 a BLACK person we just look at yal like yal FU** stupid so shut and talk what u know holla
Where is the racist come in at I didn't recall his say that the best r&b singer was her, so I don't think that it was race because some people are bringing Obama in to this, If Bush was in office then what we have said it's because a white man is in office no. We are all one nation no matter the color so I don't think it was a racist that he was thinking because when the white men won the award no one or he said Jay z should have won, I think West & Mrs Beyonce think she can win everything like when Jennifer. H for best female actor if I recall the was so suprised that she didn't win, so like everyone said she can't win every damn thing because she is not the best at everything, and if West didn't was being racist then he should have known that white peolpe was going to be at the VMA to win and he should have stayed at home. There are other actors out there may be if he thinks Beyonce should win everything then he should host a Beyonce Award day.I am a black women think she is good but not that good to win everything, and when I see her as a nomanie and she doesn't win the I know I'm watch some awards because others have a chance to win and be noticed. Thanks but raicism has to stop.
pfffft it's not racist for a black person to do to a white person but if a white person did it to a black person then it's racist, what dumb shit is that
Smitty get a life!!! Talk about being a racist. That must be your middle name. I don't like your music, but I would never insult anyone like you did. I think everyone should stop listening to your music (if you can call it music). You are a rude jerk. And I agree with the other person, your hair looks like a grease ball. I think you are just jealous of a talented and pretty young white women.
Someone should have went up there and bitch slapped his ass.
At least white ppl have the since to know when to keep there mouth shut, and not act STUPID in public. Quote from Forest Gump "Stupid is as Stupid does"
Ok now white people arent any better than blacks or vice versa WOULD YOU PEOPLE GET OVER IT ITS 2009 for cryin out loud
I thot it was too funny lmao but obviously people liked taylor swifts video better sooooooo ....... Who knows
Oh and holla at Beyonce when you get up to her status devils are haters!!! She got money,power and respect. Oh and that goes for Oprah,Obama,Jay Z,Denzel,shit the damn list is too long for me to carry on lolzz!!! Get over it whiteys blacks are here forever
Kanye, you made a total ass out of yourself that night. Boy i know if your mama was still living she would smacked you upside your head. PS your hair cut looks so horrible
Would you white ppl get over it already! Who cares about that poor little white trailer trash LMAO!!!
OMG! If he was white and did that to a black female entertainer, he'd be ruined. It'd be a racial issue all over the place. I can't believe Beyonce took up for him, that doesn't say much about her.
Funny he has apologized to everyone, everywhere ... except to Taylor Swift. He's an idiot.
Kanyes i no longer have any respect for you as a person or an artist
Kanye you are a talentless big mouth...and if I remember correctly aren't you a gay fish???
Kanye is too full of himself and he needs to learn some humility! His constant whinning abou being ignored at award shows and now this childish outburst shows his true colors. He just doesn't like a white country star winning over a black woman. Racist/ Childish/ POMPOUS!
I agree it was racist. he makes it known how black people are better.
So..now Beyonce actually condones his behavior??? Claiming he was just standing up for art!!! She is just as shallow and conceited as he is.
I didn't vote for Pres. Obama( did U notice his 1st name )and He hasn't been in office long enough for me to give an opinion on how I think his job performance is! But like He says( The President ) off the record it sounds like a MULE !
he isn't any less racist that most black performers today, it has become their "brotherhood" battle cry to hate. I know his momma didn't raise him that way, he needs to talk to Jesus more often.
