MTV is gearing up for the VMAs again. And there's talk of an onstage reunion between Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Think it'll happen?

But first, WOW. Has it really been a whole year? That is seriously scary.

It seems like just yesterday that Kanye West was storming the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift's Best Video Award acceptance speech to inform us that Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time, OF ALL TIME! And really, that's all anyone remembers about the event, right? And people haven't stopped talking about it either. If, however, you have forgotten, to refresh your memory:

By the way, here's Taylor's winning video and here's Beyonce's not winning one.

After that, the press essentially vilified Kanye and elevated poor snowflake Taylor to practically canonical status. The rapper -- already no stranger to rushing the stage and interrupting events to air his opinions -- finally realized he may have gone too far and withdrew from public life for a time. Though this Spike Jonze short did hit the internet and, while it was shot prior to the incident, it fittingly looked like Yeezy addressing his demons.
 


He has recently emerged and resumed public life WITH A VENGEANCE. He joined Twitter, is working with Jay Z and Justin Bieber and has been giving concerts in corporate offices.

He also let loose a stream of consciousness on Twitter this week, going on about the incident, apologizing and announcing that he had written a song for Taylor.

Among the many, many posted messages, Kanye wrote (of course, taking a moment to praise his own work), 'I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her...who am I to run on stage? I would never ever again in a million years do that…I'm sorry Taylor.'

Rumour has it Taylor is unimpressed and "disgusted that he has the cheek to use her name to promote his new album! Taylor has moved on from the incident and is hoping Kanye will eventually do the same."

Right. So, that brings us up to now. Here are the questions: Do you want to see a reunion? Do you think it'll happen? Are you on a side, and if so, whose?

No, I do not want to see a reunion. Now this *sshole Kanye is just plain milking the incident for his own fame and recovery. Taylor Swift should just say, "No thanks" if asked. I wouldn't give this idiot the time of day.

I think Kanye scooped low for that biatch shez not worth a second of his time, n its true Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! OF ALL TIME !!! ya digg? anywho because of
Kanye shez now famous n i think she should kiss his feet and thank him for that !

On the contrary. I never heard of Kanye West before his very rude treatment of a true,classy young lady like Taylor Swift. After he was literally thrown out of the awards show, why should allow him back now? He should banned for life from any award show period!!

i just have 2 say is Kanya is so disturbed and very annoying....i'm very happy that Talor Swift has many feeling of the heart 2 4give....gotaa say Kanya your the bad loser of all rapps!take it like it is ...not all is given 2 you assbutt!.....

I'm a guy, but I believe that in this instance, he doesnt deserve a second chance. What did Taylor do to be publicly humiliated like that? Can she get a second chance to undo that humiliation and pain?

If Kayne is suffering from any mental issues, then definitely he deserves to be in a pysho ward. Secondly and I'm bit amazed, that he is using Taylor's name to earn money!!! I'm ashamed that a brotha would do that!

Taylor is doing the mature thing, moving on from this relationship, any self respectiving individual would do that, either guy or a girl.

Kayne should learn from his mistake, show maturity and move on. This is life, there is no UNDO options here!

agreed....his apology should have been more personal...he's milking

Kanye is a jackass period. I supported Kanye and loved his music inspite of that prior to this incident last year. I have to say that what he did left a very bad taste in my mouth, and no matter how much he falls over himself apologizing - which is coming off fake anyway - I will never be a Kanye fan again.

Kanye west was an asshole for doing that to her. And beyonce did have a good vid but taylors was better. I hate Kanye for that and I am not a fan anymore!

wish someone would just hang that stupid n*gger and get it over with.

Kanye should re-spell his name to Kenya Boi, or better still...Batty Boi. He can run through the jungle and re-claim his roots like the emotional b-itch he was on the stage. What a dumb ass

To be completely honest, I feel for both parties. Taylor was an up and coming star and Kanye, every one knows what he is capable of. Why did no one stop him on stage? His outburst sent Taylor into the spotlights of fame. If she has the courage to forgive him for what he has done, she will prove to everyone that she is the better person than Kanye West...

Do remember, if it were not for Kanye West, she would not recieve all the sympathy voted at all the other awards shows leaving her with a longer road to meet fame and fortune... just a thought...

I agree BAN kanye from all award shows - period. For the second time kanye did something like this what will happen the third time he does it - BAN HIM!!! BAN HIM!!

His music sucks, he sucks, ban him, period.

Kanye has the cheek to use Taylor as a promotional tool... Please Kanye made you a household name, he already was, n that twangy, bullpuck, bubblegum music you play still insnt getting you press.. Just cause a bunch of kids parents pad your records sales.. Maybe he'll but you a trailer when you go broke.. You went from, never in a room with stars, too, Your so big a star other need you to promote your work.. (insert laugh here) Guess Kanye aint the only one with grossly self imagined worth..

Taylor swift is an annoying little twit. Her country music is lame. Good Job Kanye for going up there and making her look like an idiot. Beyonce is an amazing singer/songwrite. Her videos are wikid. There's no way someone like that little country twit should beat someone as inspiring as Beyonce.

I was never a huge fan of Kanye, but Taylor.... poor thing, she can't hit a note nor sing in key... just whatch any of her life performances and really listen.Totally manufactured.Not a trace of a talent... but then again, how many M.J's or Lady Ga-Ga callibre artists could there be??Agree with the fact, that Kanye's hostility towards Taylor was uncalled for.

Hey Lena if you think mj and gaga have talent then your more brain dead then kanye!

I do not feel bad for Taylor Swift. Kanye was absolutely correct in what he announced at the VMA last year. I love those kind that are crazy enough to say what needs to be said! Taylor swift.....a feather weight against the reining heavyweight champion....she should not have even had a chance but thank goodness Kanye was there to offer the knock out punch! Jennifer in T.O

Regardless of who's video was the best *a matter of opinion, btw*,the fact remains that Kanye had the nerve to take away somebody's special moment- you can't deny that Taylor Swift put alot of effort into mer music video. That incident at the awards was a low blow to Taylor and now Kanye is making matters worse by self-promoting, and using Taylor's name to sell records. This is just wrong, and I really do hope that you all can use whatever brain cells you possess to see that Kanye is acting pretty pathetic right now. Frankly, I think that TAylor should not accept his apology- not right away, at least.
And P.S. to "anonamous chick" ... you spelled anonymous wrong.

He should be banned from all awards shows & TV shows. I wouldn't buy or watch any shows with him appearing on it. Looser.

I think Taylor is talented...not my personal taste, but I think she is good. I love Beyonce's music, but it was not her turn. Taylor was deemed the winner last year and it was very poor judgment On kanye's part to do what he did. Even Beyonce recognized that! It is hard to compare the two singers really...country vs pop. Whatever, what happended happened, but Kanye is clearly a loose canon with no etiquette. What a loser.

hope kanye will sing i love is song not much to say about taylor she sucks

So far all I want is to puke.

kayne is a loser and always will be ,he hasnt had any publicity for a long time and now hes trying to milk this for some attention...KAYNE IS A BIG TIME LOSERRRRRRRRRRRR
