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.’”
Taylor Swift leaves her NYC hotel on on Tuesday morning (September 15) and heads to The View.
On the show, the 19-year-old country cutie revealed that Kanye West still hadn’t reached out to personally apology for disrupting her best female video award acceptance speech at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. (Kanye did blog an apology and said sorry on Leno last night.)
“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.”
After the show aired, Kanye did ring up Taylor to apologize. She told ABC News Radio, “Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology.”
Oh you know you’ve done wrong when the land of Twitter starts knocking you down and all your peers start ganging up on you! Eeek!

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.”

Kanye West talks Taylor Swift on The Jay Leno Show
Taylor Swift looks stunning as she arrives at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday (September 13).
The 19-year-old country singer had a ‘Cinderella’ entrance when she arrived riding an ornate horse and carriage.
“I have a castle complex,” Taylor said to MTV. “I really like fairy tales.”
At the show, Taylor is expected to sing “You Belong With Me” which is nominated for Best Female Video.
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 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 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.
Katy Perry sits in a director’s chair in New York City’s Times Square in this pic promoting the 2009 MTV VMAs, which will air live on Sunday, September 13, 2009 @ 9PM ET/PT.
Leighton Meester, Cobra Starship, and Taylor Swift all taped their own renditions of West Side Story’s “Tonight” to hype up the VMAs. Each artist collaborated with Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights) to rework the lyrics to make them more VMA-specific.
