Country singer Taylor Swift admitted being rattled by Kanye West’s outburst during her MTV Video Music Award acceptance speech, but says she has already moved on.
Taylor Swift speaking publicly about the incident for the first time on ABC’s “The View” Tuesday, Taylor Swift, the pretty blonde also agreed to meet the rapper face-to-face if he makes contact – but she has yet to hear from him.
“I’m not going to say I wasn’t rattled by it, but I had to perform live five minutes later so I had to get myself back to the place where I could perform,” the 19-year-old said.
“Sure,” Taylor Swift added when asked if she would agree to see Kanye again.
“I mean, he has not personally reached out or anything but, if he wanted to say hi.”
Kanye jumped onto the Radio City Music Hall stage as Swift was midway through accepting her award for Best Music Video on Sunday night.
The hip-hop star snatched the microphone from her hand and told the audience he thought Beyonce should have won instead.
“I think my overall thought process was ‘Wow, I can’t believe I won, this is awesome … don’t trip and fall, Oh, Kayne West is here … cool haircut, what are you doing here?’” Swift said. “And then, ‘Ouch’, and then ‘I guess I’m not going to get to thank fans.’”
Kanye’s outburst was met with widespread condemnation, with President Obama even inadvertently weighing in and calling the singer a “jackass.” Obama’s comment was said in an off-the-record portion of an MSNBC interview that was tweeted – and later deleted – by ABC news reporter Terry Moran.
To try to salvage his reputation, Kanye made a public apology on the premiere of Jay Leno’s primetime show Monday night, where he appeared to almost break down when asked what his deceased mother would have made of his antics.
“I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt,” he told Leno. “I don’t try to justify it because I was just in the wrong, period.”
“It was rude,” he added. “I’d like to be able to apologize to her in person.”
Swift, wearing a shiny blue and gold strapless dress and gold stiletto heels, told “The View” ladies she did learn one thing from the whole ordeal.
“I just never imagined that there were that many people out there looking out for me,” she said, and also revealed she has just bought her first condo.
