Latest: Kanye West Calls Taylor Swift to Apologize

"The Insider" has learned that moments after country music starlet Taylor Swift revealed on ABC's "The View" that Kanye West had not personally apologized to her for their tense moment at the "2009 MTV Video Music Awards" -- the rap star phoned in to the show's studio and spoke directly with Taylor.

Kanye spoke to Taylor, 19, over the phone and offered his apology for interrupting her acceptance speech on Sunday night's VMA show -- and "The Insider" has learned that she accepted his apology.

"Kanye did call me and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology," Taylor told ABC News Radio.

Taylor also opened up about what helped her ultimately forgive Kanye, saying: "The support that I got from other artists, and from the fans and so many people sticking up for me -- that’s what got me to the place that I could accept that apology. I'm just very thankful that everyone showed me so much love."

Kanye apologized for his outburst twice via his blog, and again Monday night on "The Jay Leno Show."
