Before each of their talked-about performances, Kanye West and Taylor Swift secretly met backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, a source tells UsMagazine.com.

"Kanye got word she was going to do the song about him and wanted to talk it out," the insider explains. The duo -- West infamously ambushed Swift onstage at last year's VMAs -- met privately in Swift's dressing room.

"Taylor felt bad. They talked and everything is good between them now," the source continues of their backstage chat. "But they promised to keep what they spoke about between them." No word on whether they hugged it out.

Later that night, a muted Swift referenced their infamous 2009 VMA encounter in her song "Innocent," singing, "You are not what you did."
West closed out the show with "Runaway," rapping, "Let's have a toast for the douchebags."
Tell Us What You Think
16I think he's racist myself, he makes alot of racist remarks and did so before loosing his mother...and he has the nerve to sing about douchbags in one of his own songs...douchbag!!
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Do you know the tress a person go through after loosing a prarent? It's not something that will go away over night. It takes time to heal. I lost my brother since 1999, and it still hard for me every time a saw a funeral.You, with your bad comments against Kanye. Put him in your shoes if you had just lost of of your parent.
If he's a real man ad not a sisy, he should apologize to her publicly, and should never show his face again on TV.
I really think kanye got drunk coz he's pissed about not getting a pice of that white american pie Taylor. LOL. Actually in this world, bad is made to look good, and good is made to look bad. I won't be surprised if Kanye become more famous after this, and Taylor becomes affected and goes down. Kanye should be a man and apologize to the girl in public. I hate show-offs like him. He's a coward.
If she wanted to move on so bad she wouldn't have made a song about him an entire year after it happened
hhhh
Good 4 them.
Finally its over!!!
I loved how everyone chanted his name after his performance, when everyone claims they hate Kanye -.-
I would have kicked him in his monkey balls!!!!
There wasnt a "Kanye-Taylor war". Taylor and kanye wanted to move on the media wouldnt drop it. So the issue dragged on for a year. Its good that they worked it out but it wasnt a war.
I agree Christopher! He is VERY low class!
She's Still A Loser
She's Still A Loser
Great Move Kanye Now Just Focus On Your Music Forget About Swift You was Drunk And Made One Mistake It Happens
Taylor had done nothing tho be ashamed of. It is "himself that is totally no class.
