Taylor Swift cried her heart out today when she appeared in CBS's The Talk where she was interviewed by veteran talk show host Lara Gilbert.

Swift agreed to be on the show to talk about her concert last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where she did some pretty "strange" things, including stripping and showing her armpits to the crowd.
“First, let me tell everyone that I am truly sorry,” Taylor said. She was trying to hold back her tears. “I didn’t mean to disappoint everyone. It’s just that…that…” Taylor at this point softly cried. Lara Gilbert had to console her.
After a few seconds, Taylor was able to continue.

"Right before I began to sing my song, I saw something flash somewhere in the crowd. I thought it was just a fan taking a picture of me," Taylor said. "But I was wrong..so wrong…" Taylor Swift was starting to cry again. Lara Gilbert once more had to console her.
"It was something else," Taylor continued. "What I saw flashing was actually a….an accessory, a bling bling!" Taylor said. "It was an enormous silver cross, the signature bling of…of……….of" - tears were falling from Taylor's pretty eyes again. Of course, Lara still had to console her.
“It was the signature bling of my arch-enemy, Kanye West!!!” Taylor finally blurted out. Lara got ready to console her again, but Taylor didn’t cry this time.
"I got so nervous when I saw him among the crowd, and I thought he might go up the stage again and ruin my show! That's when I started to lose my focus. But I knew I had to continue singing. The show must go on!" Lara was relieved because it looks like Taylor wasn't going to cry anymore.

"Before I even knew it, I was singing the wrong lyrics to my song! I wasn't thinking straight anymore. I tried to continue but I couldn't.. I wasn't singing right!" Taylor said.

"Then I thought, I cannot just stop, I have to entertain my fans! They paid a lot of money just to be entertained that night, and I can't disappoint them," Taylor stopped. She hesitated and looked at Lara.

Lara Gilbert nodded at her to encourage her to go on.
"Since I couldn't continue singing anymore, I decided to raise up my arms to show them my armpits. I used to get a kick seeing my dad's armpits that's why I thought maybe they'd be happy seeing my armpits. When they didn't react very much, I thought what the heck, I'll just strip. So I stripped…" Lara got ready because Taylor was showing signs that she was going to cry again.

"After stripping, I showed them my butt, and then I showed them my flower. Finally, I've had enough. I just decided to walk away…." Taylor was softly crying again.

"I'm so sorry, to my fans, to everyone…I'm so sorry I couldn't finish the concert…." Taylor was uncontrollably sobbing by this time.
“I didn’t mean to disappoint everyone…I felt so helpless, so weak..so AFRAID!!!” Taylor was crying so hard that her mascara was running off.
At this point Lara Gilbert decided to cut the interview. She just urged everyone to buy Taylor Swift's latest album, FEARLESS. That's it. End of interview.
