OlderKanye West Talks Taylor Swift on Jay Leno Show
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.”

Sincere?! Not. If he was going to cry…let it out. Douche.
..and to add…just admit that you were drunk! Douche.
Well than he apologized so lets all move on. I’m more shocked that Kanye has it in him to feel for anyone but himself.
Boo freaking Hoo.
can a **** say sorry? wow,that’s gross!
@Joe the PLUMBER: Some of you Americans never cease to amaze me…why is it always about race and slurs with you lot? (those with sense I respectfully exclude from that) Anyway, anybody else think that we literally watching Kanye go crazy little by little every single day (ever since his mum died)? I mean he always been a w@nker but he seems to be really losing it
kanye, you’re still an *******. but i truly hope you get some serious professional therapy for that lost soul of yours.
i went into watching this with a very open mind. i was totally willing to hear him out and consider what he said. then he spoke…
To me he sounded like pretty big jackass. didnt seem sincere, almost tried to blame it on his mothers passing away?!? wow. also at one point he said something about how he was “sorry because he had a certain vision of how awards should be” or some crap like that. so in other words, Not really sorry, except for the fact that he got into so much trouble.
This guy is a classless no talent thug. Taylor on the other hand, is a very classy young lady and she’ll take the high road her, which of course, will make Kanye look even worse. If he was really sorry, he’d of written out a sincere sounding apology, or at least had his publicist do it since he’s illiterate. The best thing we can all do with this guy is to ignore him and don’t spend another cent on anything he’s involved in.
i don’t think this phucker say sorry? he didn;t even know how to spell SORRY!
no more his albums purchased from now!
if anyone needs his so called “music”,just illegally download it!
ruin his career!ruin his life!
he has done this a couple of times now, rushing the stage and embarassing people, taking away artists moment when they win something.
how is this different from the other incidents? maybe he is just apologizing because this time, alot of people were able to witness it and are super pissed off at him right now.
and he embarrased taylor swift, who alot of people actually adore. if he embarrased just an average selling/known band, i dont think he’ll do an apology like that.
he is still a douchebag.
lol what in the world is “porch monkey”?? Sounds racist. But yeah. He needs to grow up and learn to behave like a man.
I only feel bad for him because of his mother’s passing, but other than that he’s a complete idiot and pretty late for an apology don’t ya think??
I’m pretty sure he’s sincere. Kanye’s controversial and rude, but he would never do what he did under normal circumstances. He was clearly WASTED and I’m sure he regrets that very much. People do a lot of crazy things when they’re under the influence. I blame MTV for allowing him to get on stage in the first place. Don’t they have security guards who’s main purpose is to stop that kind of thing from happening?!
I have no respect for him as a person. I don’t and will NEVER buy his music.
Douchebag’s apology was not sincere. He was making excuses for himself - blaming his behavior on his mother’s death. What a crock!!!
He acted the same way before his mother passed away. He didn’t just become a total ****. He has always been a talentless a”hole.
@ah:
How is it late when he apologized like 3 hours after it happened and the NEXT day?! He also apologized to her mother like 5 minutes after when she confronted him. It’s not like he waited 5 months.
We are able to forgive those close to us, over and over again, yet completely ruthless & unforgiving of celebrities? The man has made a claim that he will “right” the situation and work towards bettering himself. Forgive, but don’t forget - let’s see him follow through.
The whole thing was rude, but now Taylor’s win will get much more attention than it would have if Kanye hadn’t done that. And she got to finish her speech, so it’s over and done with. I thought it was kind of funny.
Damage control to not ruin his career? You F@cker Kanye. Go to hell!!!
Douche bag. Don’t apologize to Taylor on a television show. You need to be a man and apologize in person. Kanye West has forever lost my respect.
@Peach:
******* or not, I find the man’s talent hard to dispute…and so does the same award show that awarded Taylor her first VMA…
please the guy made an ass out of himself and he’s shamefully sorry ok. Now what dose race have to do with this? He made a mistake like many people do including some of the people who are speaking on the situation he’s human so what? Even Taylor admited she was a fan.
Kanye is still a douche and a racist prejudice recording artist. he can apologize till he has no more tears for all i care. Taylor can never get back her special moment which he stole from her. For Chrissake he’s a grown man dissing a young recording artist on LIVE TV is down right low. He’s done some many things in the past but this draws the line. He should be banned for life. And I love Obama for saying Kanye is a Jack@ss at a CNBC reporter.
@asha
How do you know he didn’t apologize to her personally? I think what he did was a total b$%ch move, but at this point he’s apologized 3 times. I say just let it die.
