Did Kanye West make Taylor Swift super famous?

Kanye West appears to be giving himself a little bit of credit for Taylor Swift’s mega fame.

Kanye invaded the stage at the MTV VMAs when Taylor was accepting an award, to say that Beyonce should have won.

“I feel like when Taylor was getting all those magazine covers, she was all good then,” he said.

“I feel completely empathetic and sympathize with that moment of her feeling bad, that spawned her to have one million magazine covers and be the most popular artist in the world, but in that moment of her feeling bad, I do feel bad about being the cause of that.”

“When I talked to Taylor,” Kanye recalled, “I asked her, ‘What do you feel?’…and I said we know I was rude, I’m sorry, I cut you off. Awards shows play music…they cut people off all the time.’”

“Personally, I’m better than I’ve ever been,” he said. “I’m patching up my public image and where I am as an artist and where people perceive me.”
