Taylor Swift talks collaboration with Kanye West: 'He's got a lot of amazing ideas'

LOS ANGELES, May 1 (UPI) -- Taylor Swift and Kanye West have both entertained the idea of working together now that 2009 is long gone.

The "Blank Space" singer, 25, told Entertainment Tonight that she is open to hitting the studio with West, who infamously stole her thunder at the MTV Music Awards six years ago. "He's got a lot of amazing ideas," she said.

In February, Kanye, 37, alluded to a potential collaboration between the two artists, telling Ryan Seacrest in a radio interview, "she wants to get in the studio and we're definitely going to go in. Any artist with an amazing point of view, perspective, fan base, I'm down to get in the studio and work."

"He's one of those people that's just like idea, idea, idea," Swift told ET in response. "He's very creative and...I think we've talked about it but we've also talked about so many other things...I completely respect him as a producer. So, that's all I know now."

A new single from the unlikely duo may still be in its primitive stages but West and Swift have at least made amends. At this year's Grammys, they were caught shaking hands and chatting -- eventually posing for a photo together. Baby steps!
