Taylor Swift says that for all his public apologies for cutting off her acceptance speech, Kanye West has yet to actually speak to her directly. 

The 19-year-old told the ladies of "The View" that she hasn't received so much as a phone call or email, saying, "he has not personally reached out or anything."

She said of the incident, "I think my overall thought process went something like, wow I can't believe I won -- oh, Kanye West is here," which elicited laughs from the audience as she went on with her train of thought: "Cool haircut Kanye, what are you doing, here? And then, ouch, and then, 'I guess I'm not going to get to thank the fans.'"

"I'm not going to say that I wasn't rattled by it," she added. "But I had to perform 10 minutes later."

The young pro did her thing -- as fellow stars tweeted their dismay at Kanye. "It was really wonderful that people were out there defending me," Taylor says.

Kanye appeared on Jay Leno's show Monday night, issuing a third apology and saying, "If there's anything I can do to help Taylor in the future, to help anyone, I'd like to."

  • Kanye west is obviously so full of himself that he has lost himself in the madness. It sounds like he needs to get with his christian counselor dad and get his head on straight.

  • K-West izza walking-breathing TURD with a childish, crybaby complex. No apology ever excuses poor behavior. Hope he follows Kurt Cobain's example.
