AceShowbiz - Will Kanye West record a duet with Taylor Swift? In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, the rapper said, "yeah," when asked if he would collaborate with the country/pop singer. "She wants to get in the studio and we're definitely going to go in," he said.
"Any artist with an amazing point of view, perspective, fan base, I'm down to get in the studio and work," he added. "I don't discriminate, I don't have an elitism of music because of like how many Grammys or you know, the amount of ratings you get on an album."
"I that think everyone loves music whether they love hip-hop, alternative, country, and if I could be involved in giving people any type of energy, advice in the studio, whether you're Beyonce, whether you're Taylor Swift, whether you're Jay-Z, whether you're Beck, whoever, and they can be reciprocal with that, I'd like to be involved with that."
When asked about his stunt in which he almost crashed Beck's Album of the Year speech, he blamed it on the voices inside his head. He claimed, "So the voices in my head told me go and then I just walked up like halfway up the stage."
"You know, what I really wanted to do is just joke around about what had happened before, but I just really didn't want to take away from Beck's moment or the time he's having to talk because you know the Grammys, they play music really quick no matter who you are and everything. So I didn't want anything to take away from his screen time. So I just walked back down because you know, it was kind of a joke like the Grammys themselves."
He said Taylor came to him at the Grammys after his almost interruption. "Taylor Swift came up to me right afterwards, like literally afterwards and tells me I should have went on stage," he said. "This is the irony in my life."
Kanye and Taylor history dated way back in 2009 when he interrupted her Best Female Video of the Year win at the MTV Video Music Awards and ranted that Beyonce Knowles should have won. At the Grammys over the weekend, the two were all smiles as they crossed paths and posed for a picture together.
