Lady Gaga Defends Kanye West

The Pop Queen talks all things Yeezy following the VMAs

Lady GaGa says Kanye West still feels bad for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

MTV can exclusively reveal Lady GaGa, who was in the audience at Radio City Music Hall, admitted she was shocked by the Yeezy's reaction.

But she added: “I would say he's a good guy and everybody makes mistakes, and he feels so bad. He really does. I think that everyone can get so caught up in gossip and stuff."

The singer, who is due to join West on a co-headlining tour in November, also praised the Chicago spitter's influence on modern music.

“If you listen to the radio right now, with the exception of myself, really, and Taylor Swift, Kanye is responsible for everything we're listening to. He's changed music and he's really prolific and an incredible person."

GaGa and West's Fame Kills tour is due to kick off in Phoenix on November 10 before calling at venues across the US.
