Cher says that Kanye West personally thanked her for her pioneering use of the vocal effect auto-tune on her track "Believe." Cher met Ye and his wife Kim Kardashian at the NYC Met Ball on Monday.
On Twitter, Cher told her fans she enjoyed meeting KimYe, describing Kim as "very gracious" and stating that West "thanked me for Autotune."
