"Twenty three is still growing up. Who you are is not who you've been; you're still an innocent", Taylor Swift sang at this year's 2010 VMA's. The words "Kanye West" never exited the 20 year old songstress's mouth during the song, however the topic was obvious. This was Swift's way of saying, I forgive you, to West for interrupting her acceptance speech during last years 2009 VMA'S. After crashing the stage last year, ranting about Beyonce and leaving a mortified Taylor speechless, West was rumored to fall into a deep depression. Rumor blogs wrote that West was on suicide watch, commentators questioned his sanity, and the news reported the dramatic scene more than the war. During the months after Swift took a very mature stance, never even whispering a word of slander about West, and saying very little regarding the incident. One of the few times Taylor did spoke out about it was on Oprah. While hosting SNL she sang "You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye, and how he ran up on stage and ruined my VMA monologue. But there's nothing to say because everything's OK". Kanye was quoted saying "She's just a little girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone. I'm ready to go out of my way."

Before performing her song, off of her upcoming album Speak Now, a T.V. flashed scenes from the dramatic interruption last year. Then appearing elegant and angelic, a very mature Swift proceeded to sing a song of understanding an forgiveness. One that was without a doubt directed to Kanye West.
