NEW YORK – It looks like Kanye West has finally given a personal apology to Taylor Swift. Representatives from “The View” say West called the country sensation after her appearance on Tuesday’s show. During the broadcast, the 19-year-old singer said West had yet to contact her to apologize for hijacking her acceptance speech on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
“He has not personally reached out or anything but if he wanted to say hi (I would),” said Swift.
After Swift’s comments, West called her and the two spoke, according to a statement from “The View.”
“After the show he spoke personally to the country music superstar via telephone and has apologized to the 19-year-old singer. She has accepted Mr. West’s apology. The contents of the phone call are to remain private,” it read.
Afterward, Swift told ABC News Radio: “He was very sincere in his apology and I accepted that apology.”

Kayne West delivered an outburst in the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards at the expense of country and pop sweethear, Taylor Swift.
If you can recall, West flipped out after losing the VMAs, the Grammy, the American Music Awards and more from way back. This time, his complain was on Beyonce’s behalf because the wrong person had been awarded a trophy.
Beyonce was nominated for best female video for “Single Ladies” but was bested by Swift. The 19-year-old best selling artist of year outside of Michael Jackson was giddy when she won for her clip, “You Belong With Me”. She said, “I always wondered what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but never actually thought it would happen.”
But West ruined her moment when he jumped on stage.
“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,” he said, as a shocked Beyonce looked on and the crowd began to boo West.
