In 2009, Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video for ‘You Belong with Me’ at the MTV Video Music Awards. Resplendently in smiles, her victory speech got cut short even before its start when Kanye West snatched her mic to credit Beyoncé. However, recognizing his misstep, the rapper soon apologized within a day. Similarly, back in 2010, Tiger Woods apologized for his charge of affairs and thus, the two high-profile celebrities stood together on a list of the most talked about public A-list apologies as such.

On September 14, 2009, at the premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show, Kanye West apologized to Taylor Swift.“It was rude, period.” – This one line soon grabbed headlines. After appalling the entire music industry with his intrusion, the remarks came off as one of the most profound ones in one of the most daring misadventures in entertainment history.
