The dust has settled on Kanye West‘s now infamous interruption of Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech for her MTV Video Award for Best Female Video. And celebrities continue to react to the incident.
Host of the evening, Russell Brand, said in a radio interview this morning, “Because in the past I’ve made mistakes and done things a little bit daft…I know Kanye, and I know he’s a nice bloke. We all make mistakes in life.”
As for Taylor, she told MTV News backstage, “Well, you know, I was up there and I was standing there and I saw Kanye up on the stage. I was really excited…and I kind of wasn’t excited anymore.”
However, she had nothing but good things to say about Beyonce, who brought her on stage to finish her speech. Swift added, “She’s just been my hero and one of my idols ever since I was little. She’s a great person.”
Kanye has taken to his blog to apologize to Taylor by writing, “That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.”
Got that folks? The voice of a generation.
