‘The beginning of the end’: Kanye West on THAT Taylor Swift moment

When Kanye West famously interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the 2009 MTV VMAs, most of the world knew they were witnessing a moment in music history that wasn't going to be forgotten any time soon.

And now seven years on, Kanye went all out when addressing the fall-out from his decision to storm the stage and steal Tay's limelight.

While performing at the Paradise International Music Festival in the Philippines last weekend, the Life of Pablo rapper told the audience that the moment was 'the beginning of the end of my life'.

Despite this, it doesn't sound like Kim's husband is TOO regretful, saying he only said 'what everyone else was thinking' and then defended his decision to reference the Bad Blood singer on a recent track.

"If I get in trouble for saying the truth, what's being said the rest of the time? And I had to fight every day of my life, with the whole world turned against me, for saying out loud what everyone else felt."

Telling fans that a particular line in Famous which suggests the pair 'might still have sex' had been given the OK from Calvin's bae, Kanye said: "That's the job of an artist, of a true artist: not to be controlled by their finances, not to be controlled by perceptions, but only to be controlled by their truth."

"This is the song that broke the writer's block for me, because it's something I wanted to say so bad that they told me I couldn't say," he added.

Taylor's reps have strenuously denied that the singer had ever given the rapper her approval on the lyric.
