Kanye West Apologizes To Swift
2009-09-14 by Gregory Kearns | 119 Replies | 2886 Views

Kanye West has reportedly apologized for interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV WMA. Aparently he talked to Taylor's mother after the interuption,


"I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom," he wrote. "I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!"

He continues as he tries to explain his reasoning,

"Beyoncé's video was the best of this decade!!!! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!!! I'm sorry to my friends at MTV. I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw," West continued on his blog. "Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture!!! No disrespect but we watchin' the show at the crib right now cause...well you know!!!! I'm still happy for Taylor!!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!! You are very very talented!!! I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me...That's what it is!!!!!!! I'm not crazy y'all, i'm just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!!!"

09.14.2009'


bro.....so deep....

edit: dont worry guys kelly clarkson owned him for us

"Dear Kanye," she said.

"what happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh*t.

"I mean, I've seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a***** ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my a****** ex that cheated on me over you...which is pretty odd since I don't even personally know you.

"The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

"I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor Swift won and I was excited for her...so why can't you be?? I'm not even mad at you for being an a**hole...I just pity you because you're a sad human being.

"On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

"Taylor Swift, you outsell him ....that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!"
