“When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE…I take responsibility for my actions,” Kanye West Tweeted, according to Washington Post

West’s apologies to Taylor Swift came after interrupting the singer during a speech at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009. 

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” Kanye West said. “One of the best videos of all time.”

In 2010, West said his interruption of Swift was “very punk rock and revolutionary and idealistic and very angry in a way.”

In August 2013, West spoke about the incident again while on Kris.

“The last thing I would want to happen to my daughter is some crazy, drunk, Black guy in a leather shirt to come up and cut her off at an awards show,” West said. “That’s the last thing I’d want…I was just a crazy Rock star.”
