Kanye West sends big slab of roses to Taylor Swift

Kanye West’s ongoing apology to Taylor Swift reached lavish new proportions over the weekend when the Chicago rapper graced her with a big cube of white roses.

“Awwww Kanye sent me the coolest flowers!!” Swift enthused next an Instagram photo of the delivery.

It’s all apparently part of West’s attempt to make nice six years after he interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA’s. Yeezy apologized days later and kept apologizing, this year even expressing a determination to record with Swift.

At last Sunday’s ceremony Swift introduced West when he received an honorary award, and he began his lengthy response by hugging her and thanking her “for being so gracious and giving me this award this evening.”

But that might not be enough for Swift, who alluded to West’s plan to run for president with a hashtag suggesting she’ll settle for nothing less than a running-mate slot: #KanTay2020.

The brick bouquet is apparently meaningful for West, who last year marked the first Mother’s Day of wife Kim Kardashian by sending her a similar, albeit far bigger wall of roses.
