Gay Fish is trying to take down Squinty again. Kanye West accused singer Taylor Swift of riding the waves of fame caused by his infamous stagecrashing of her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. West stormed the stage during Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, jerked the microphone from her hand and declared that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” promo should have won. Yeezy has extended numerous public olive branches to Taylor in the almost 18 months since the incident, but the rapper says he’s frustrated that Swift has failed to defend him to critics. In fact, the “Flashing Lights” star believes the platinum-selling sweetie, 20, used him to bolster her profile. “Taylor never came to my defense at any interview,” West told the crowd during his concert at Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday night. “And (she) rode the waves and rode it and rode it,” he added of the “Speak Now” singer. We assume Kanye wasn’t very touched by Taylor’s lyrical attempt to make amends at this year’s VMAs. The prolific singer/songwriter appeared to reach out to West through the lyrics of her song “Innocent” – which she performed at the 2010 ceremony. “Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did,” Swift sang. “Lost your balance on the tight rope, it’s never too late to get it back . today is never too late to be brand new,” the song continued. Never one for quiet entrances or exits, Kanye also lit into his foe of the hour: The TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer. West still insists that Lauer tried to “villainize” (His word, not ours.) him for calling former President George Bush a racist during the height of the Hurrican Katrina relief efforts (or lack thereof). “Because [of] the popularity of me, they exploited that.That’s not what he fucking said!” West railed. “That’s not what he said! He said it was one of his lowest moments. But it shows you-the way they try to villainize, the way they tried to do that.”

Katy Perry and Taylor Swift were just two of the big names that took to the stage at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in London today. The awards show honors normal and celebrity teens  who are making a difference.

Ending the week with her all-important promotional matters, Taylor Swift was spotted out on Hollywood Boulevard on Friday afternoon.

The country cutie warmly greeted her fans as she rode atop a bus while trying to boost interest in her recently released album "Speak Now".

Stopping the double-decker along the way, the "Mine" singer and her bandmates treated fans to a free mini-concert before continuing along on their way.

Taylor said, “But let’s say I’m 30 and still touring: I wouldn’t want to have a family, because I couldn’t balance it. But I really have no idea about the future. It’s so unexpected. Trust me!”

Taylor Swift wrote an explosive song about how John Mayer broke her heart. Well, word on the street is that Swift‘s ‘Dear John’ song is about none other then notorious Hollywood playboy, John Mayer.

Remember last year when everyone suspected there was something going on between John and Taylor? Well, looks like it ended pretty badly. Taylor’s song lyrics:

“Dear John/I see it all now that you’re gone/Don’t you think I was too young/To be messed with/The girl in the dress/ Cried the whole way home/I should’ve known/It was wrong/Don’t you think nineteen’s too young/To be played/By your dark, twisted games/When I loved you so.

Awww. First Kanye West and now John Mayer. Taylor Swift‘s heart is being broken over and over again. Do you think John will respond to the lyrics?

Ringing in another five months of on the field action, Taylor Swift helped kick off the 2010 NFL season in New Orleans on Thursday.

The country cutie treated the crowd to a few tunes including her new hit "Mine" while playing at a French Quarter pre-game show with Dave Matthews Band.

The stage efforts preceded the first game of the year – as the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints took on the Brett Favre led Minnesota Vikings.

Meanwhile, Miss Swift’s performance comes as she gears up to release her third studio album, "Speak Now," on October 25.

It’s been almost a year since Kanye West famously stole the spotlight, and mic, from Taylor Swift as she accepted her MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. And, the rap star is apparently still trying to make amends. He tweeted a stream of messages about her this morning, and divulged that he’s written a "beautiful" song for her!

Still situated in the Big Apple, Taylor Swift was spotted venturing out in New York City on Thursday afternoon (September 17).

Joined by her mother, Andrea Swift, the country cutie strolled out of her Manhattan hotel to find a pack of paparazzi awaiting her exit.

The outing comes following the much talked about fiasco this past weekend at the MTV VMAs, during which time Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

Ready to move on with her career endeavors, a source close to Miss Swift told FOX Pop Tarts, “Taylor doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. She’s was a bit overwhelmed by all the attention and trying to move past it.”

Voicing similar sentiment, Taylor’s rep told Pop Tarts, “Kanye called and Taylor is fine now, but they are done talking about it.”
