Be warned, Kanye: Taylor Swift has written a song about you, and she’s singing it at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. The country superstar’s win for best female video last year was marred when Kanye West got on stage and said it should have gone to Beyoncé. Swift wrote a song about the experience earlier this year, and a source familiar with the show said Saturday the 20-year-old will sing the new song at the VMAs, which will be aired live on MTV. The source did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
A year after infamously interrupting Taylor Swift on stage, Kanye West is set to return to the MTV Video Music Awards, UsMagazine.com has learned. A source tells Us West, 33, is performing on the show, airing Sept. 12. (A rep for the rapper and MTV had no comment.)

Kanye West has slowly been making his way back to the MC we all know; the MC who is his own biggest fan. It was nearly a year ago that Kanye became sort of a pariah in the world of pop culture. After interrupting country superstar Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Awards, during her acceptance speech for her win for Best Female Video, Kanye was literally dismembered by his peers and the media alike. He was even called a jackass, albeit off the record, by President Obama. Since that time, Kanye has stayed relatively quiet–most likely reflecting on the latter part of his musical career and how he plans to shape his legacy.
It’s as if ‘Ye has been a different person since he lost his mom, Dr. Donda West, in 2007. The lost of his mentor, best friend and biggest supporter deeply affected him, as it would anyone. His emotionally-drenched album, “808s and Heartbreak,” and the outburst at the 2009 MTV awards seem to be part of the never-ending grieving process that Kanye continues to go through.
After performing his new single, “Power,” on the 2010 BET Awards, the resurfacing of Kanye has everyone abuzz. He’s been debuting songs from his new album, “Good Ass Job,” in special showcases; for the offices of Twitter, Facebook and Rolling Stone. He even created an account on Twitter, and gained 200,000 followers on his first day. This new album looks to put Kanye back in rare form as the ego-driven musical genius who puts out classic after classic–at least to his own ears. And through his music, the spirit of the special bond he shared with his mother will live on forever. So, God Willing, when February rolls around, let’s hope that Kanye is leaving the Grammy’s with a Michael Jackson-type handful of trophies. We don’t want any more acceptance speech interruptions.
