of taylor swift sings forgiveness to kanye west at vma 2010 + vma 2010 winners list

Taylor Swift sings forgiveness to Kanye: In her 'Innocent' performance at the Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift sang "who you are is not what you did. You’re still an innocent."

Taylor Swift seemed to forgive Kanye West for his stage invasion at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) last night (12.09.10).

The 20-year-old country singer performed new track ‘Innocent’ at the ceremony, which was held at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre, and seemed to reach out to the rapper in the lyrics. She sang: “Everyone of us has messed up, too. I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new.” The track also included the lyrics: “Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did. You’re still an innocent.”

At the 2009 VMAs, Kanye interrupted Taylor in the middle of her acceptance speech for the Best Female Video prize to tell the audience Beyonce Knowles should have won which resulted in an avalanche of criticism directed at him.

Kanye also appeared to reference last year’s incident during his performance when he rapped the lines: “I always find something wrong; you’ve been putting up with my **** for too long.” During the chorus, he also chanted: “Let’s have a toast to scumbags.”

After coming off stage, Kanye dedicated his performance to his late mother Donda, who died from complications caused by cosmetic surgery in 2007.

Lady Gaga was a big winner at the awards, winning 8 awards.

Lady Gaga was the big winner of the night, taking the awards for best pop video, best female video and best video of the year (for “Bad Romance”), among others.

The last one was presented by another dubious fashion icon, Cher, who tried to turn back time in her vintage 1990s leather jacket and fishnet costume. “I’m the oldest chick with the biggest hair and the littlest costume,” she cracked.

Gaga, who was accompanied for the evening by servicemen and servicewomen discharged under the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, announced the title of her upcoming album - “Born This Way” - and sang a verse from the cover.
