Representatives from "The View" say West called Swift after her appearance on Tuesday's show. During the broadcast, the 19-year-old singing sensation said West had yet to contact her to apologize for hijacking her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech on Sunday.

The incident caused an uproar and led West to give an emotional apology on Monday's premiere of "The Jay Leno Show."

"The View" says Swift has accepted the apology.

West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards and apologized via a blog and on "The Jay Leno Show" before personally reaching out to Swift.

Swift says a lot of things were going through her mind when West jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone from her. She says she thought, "oh, Kanye West is here. Cool haircut. What are you doing there?"

Swift says she was "rattled" for a moment, but had to pull herself back together to perform five minutes later.

Swift has been swamped with support from fans and other stars. She says she had no idea so many people were looking out for her.
