Following the awards show, West apologized for his verbal outburst in a blog entry (which was subsequently removed). He was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst, and even by President Barack Obama in an "off the record" comment. He later posted a second apology on his blog and appeared on The Jay Leno Show one day after the incident, apologizing publicly.
On September 15, 2009, Swift talked about the matter on The View. Asked what she was thinking the moment it happened, she stated:
Well, I think my overall thought process was something like, 'Wow, I can't believe I won, this is awesome, don't trip and fall, I'm gonna get to thank the fans, this is so cool. Oh, Kanye West is here. Cool haircut. What are you doing there?' And then, 'Ouch.' And then, 'I guess I'm not gonna get to thank the fans.'
Swift said West had not spoken to her following the incident. Following her appearance on The View, West contacted her to apologize personally; Swift said she accepted his apology.
During the 2009 CMA Awards, the incident with Kanye West was lampooned on stage by Brad Paisley and Little Jimmy Dickens, with Dickens stealing the microphone during Paisley's speech to say Swift's video was better.
Swift won the 2010 People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Artist. In February 2010, she is set to bring her Fearless Tour to 5 cities in Australia. Opening acts will include Gloriana.
Swift is currently recording songs for her third album. She has the theme planned out already. The album is due to be released in late 2010.
Swift released the track "Today Was a Fairytale" as a digital download on iTunes on January 19, 2010. The song was featured on the soundtrack for the film Valentine's Day, in which she made her feature-film acting debut. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No.2 and is also Swift's sixth Top 10 singles and her 23rd Top 40 singles on the Hot 100. In January of 2010, Taylor Swift set a new download record with the song "Today Was a Fairytale" with 325,000 downloads of the song. The song also debuted at number one on the Canadian Hot 100, making it Swift's first number one hit in Canada.
At the 52nd Grammy Awards Swift won Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song for "White Horse", and Album of the Year and Best Country Album for "Fearless". While attempting to pose with all four of her Grammy trophies backstage, Swift accidentally dropped one and shattered it. At the awards ceremony, she performed a duet with Stevie Nicks.
In February, Swift was awarded "Most Digital Song Certifications - Female Solo Artist" by RIAA for 25 songs achieving gold or multi- platinum status.
