Taylor Swift Can Call Kanye West A 'Friend' Now, Says The Rapper Respects What She Does As A Musician

Taylor Swift has confessed in her recent interview that she can finally call rapper Kanye West her “friend.” The “Yeezus” rapper famously interrupted Taylor's Video Music Awards winning speech in 2009 as he thought that Beyonce deserved the award. But the rapper was seen talking to Taylor at another recent award ceremony.

"We actually, I guess, could be called friends now!" the 25-year-old singer is quoted as saying in an exclusive interview with Glamour Magazine UK. After the incident Taylor thought that she “needed to continue to prove” herself in her career and get into a place where Kanye “realised he respected what I do as a musician,” she added. The country singer-turned pop star also talked about how her record company was not confident about her doing a pop album “1989,” even after she had proved her worth by winning several Grammy Awards.

"That was very surprising to me," said Taylor about her recording company's hesitation to allow her to do a pop album. She told the magazine that her company was “very scared that we wouldn't be able to maintain the level of success we had with “Red.”” But she took the risk and went ahead with her decision as she could not “let fans get comfortable with what you make.” The songstress believes that it is her job to entertain people and by repeating her same style “over and over again is not entertaining."

While other singers of her age are indulging in songs about sex to sell their albums, Taylor says she is not a part of that group. The singer explains that every artist has some set of priorities and hers is different. The singer also believes that every woman has some or the other thing that makes them feel “strong and powerful.”

“For me, I don't have any need or urge to write about overt sexuality,” said the actress adding that it just “never occurs” to her. However, she also gave a diplomatic statement in a very Taylor Swift-style. The singer said that she “appreciate girls who sing about whatever they want, because that's what they want to sing about."
