After appear­ing on The View, Tay­lor Swift keeps in cute in Rebecca Tay­lor while arriv­ing back at her New York City hotel on Tues­day (Sep­tem­ber 15).

On the morn­ing talk show, the 19-year-old coun­try super­star was asked what was going through her mind when Kanye West jumped on the stage. Tay­lor shared, “I think my over­all thought process went some­thing like: ‘Wow, I can’t believe I won… This is awe­some… Don’t trip and fall…”

She con­tin­ued, “I’m gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool… Oh, Kanye West is here!, Cool hair­cut… What are you doing there?’ And then, Ouch. And then, I guess I’m not gonna be able to thank the fans.’”

He has not per­son­ally reached out or any­thing,” Tay­lor said, “but if he wanted to say hi…”

I’m not going to say that I wasn’t rat­tled by it,” added Tay­lor. “But I had to per­form live five min­utes later so I had get myself back to the place where I could perform.”

Kanye West Talks Taylor Swift on Jay Leno Show

Posted on 15 Sep 2009 at 5:49pm

Kanye West offers up an emo­tional apol­ogy to Tay­lor Swift dur­ing his appear­ance for the pre­miere night of The Jay Leno Show on Mon­day (Sep­tem­ber 14).

The 32-year-old enter­tainer from Atlanta, Geor­gia was extremely shaken dur­ing the inter­view while express­ing regret for inter­rupt­ing Tay­lor Swift dur­ing her accep­tance speech dur­ing yesterday’s MTV Video Music Awards.

He also talked about tak­ing a break after this con­tro­versy, say­ing, “It was rude, period. So many celebri­ties, they never take the time off. I’ve never taken the time off to really — you know, just music after music and tour after tour. I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused some­one else’s hurt. My dream of what awards shows are sup­posed to be, ’cause, and I don’t try to jus­tify it because I was just in the wrong. That’s period. But 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.”

Although Kanye was set to per­form, he asked for some air time to talk. Dur­ing the inter­view, he said it was, “extremely dif­fi­cult to deal with the fact that I hurt some­one and took some­thing away from a tal­ented artist.”

Bey­once looks red hot as she walks the car­pet at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sun­day (Sep­tem­ber 13).

The 28-year-old singer per­formed a super hot ren­di­tion of “Sin­gle Ladies.”

Kanye West inter­rupted Tay­lor Swift accept­ing her “Best Female Video” award. He said, “Yo Tay­lor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you fin­ish but Bey­once had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Kanye West apologises for interrupting Taylor Swift at VMAs

Posted on 14 Sep 2009 at 6:12pm

Kanye spoils coun­try star’s big moment by grab­bing the mic to tell crowd ‘Bey­once had one of the best videos of all time!’

Kanye West: ‘Tay­lor, I’m really happy for you, but …

Kanye West has apol­o­gised for inter­rupt­ing Tay­lor Swift’s accep­tance speech for best female video at the MTV VMA awards in New York last night. The rap­per rushed the stage while the 19-year-old coun­try singer accepted an award for her song You Belong With Me, telling the audi­ence that Bey­once should have won for her video Sin­gle Ladies (Put a Ring On It). “Tay­lor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you fin­ish, but Bey­once had one of the best videos of all time,” said West, as an embar­rassed Bey­once looked on from the audience.

I was stand­ing on the stage and I was really excited because I had just won the award,” Swift said after the awards. “And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage. And then I wasn’t so excited any­more after that.”

West offered an apol­ogy on his blog, but still wrote “Beyonce’s video was the best of this decade!!! I’m Still Happy for Tay­lor!!!!” It seems he isn’t the only one car­ry­ing this sen­ti­ment, as Bey­once actu­ally did win the video of the year for Sin­gle Ladies, and promptly invited Swift to join her on stage dur­ing her accep­tance speech. Swift said after­wards “I thought I couldn’t love Bey­once more and then tonight happened.”

It’s not the first time West has rushed the stage at an awards cer­e­mony to protest over an award’s recip­i­ent. Dur­ing the MTV Europe Music awards in 2006, the rap­per lost it after Jus­tice v Simian’s We Are Your Friends scooped best video instead of his own Touch the Sky. Just as he did last night, West grabbed the mic and said: “Oh hell no, you guys already won. This video cost a mil­lion dol­lars and Pamela Ander­son was in it.”

But the rap­per seems to have gone too far for MTV this time. While Bey­once and Tay­lor Swift put on a show of sol­i­dar­ity, West was booed off the stage and sub­se­quently asked to leave the show. Numer­ous atten­dees tweeted their dis­ap­proval dur­ing the awards: Katy Perry tweeted “F*** Kanye, it’s like you stepped on a kit­ten” while Pink wrote “Kanye West is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote Me.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Kanye’s apol­ogy — REALLY SINCERE or REALLY BOGUS?

Tay­lor Swift won “Best Female Video” dur­ing the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, beat­ing out Bey­once, Katy Perry, Kelly Clark­son,  and P!nk.

But Kanye West ruined what was sup­posed to be Tay­lor’s big night!

When Tay­lor was giv­ing her accep­tance speech on stage, Kanye ran up on stage, grabbed the micro­phone and said, “Yo Tay­lor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you fin­ish but Bey­once had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Kanye then shrugged his shoul­ders and walked off stage. Cam­eras panned for a reac­tion shot from Bey­once, who looked shocked.

Tay­lor stood there, stunned and speech­less. The audi­ence stared to boo Kanye as he left the stage and started to cheer for Tay­lor.

How rude, Kanye!!!

Taylor Swift Candid Pictures from London Photoshoot

Posted on 26 Aug 2009 at 8:03pm

Tay­lor Swift has been in Lon­don all week and the 19 year old singer is mak­ing the most of it. These pho­tos are prob­a­bly some of the best can­dids we will ever see, pri­mar­ily because they were taken while a pro­duc­tion pho­to­shoot was tak­ing place. I have to admit, I am impressed. If the can­dids look this good, then I can only imag­ine the final Tay­lor Swift pic­tures will be amaz­ing. She’s a good singer and pho­to­genic, so it’s no won­der she gets the nod for some cor­po­rate spon­sor­ship. And on that, I’m going to go grab me a Coca Cola.
