Taylor Swift Shares Fears In 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' [Watch Video]
In an interview with Ellen Degeneres, Taylor Swift shared how terrified she is of things ordinary people do not usually think of. But the band Fun's Jack Antonoff, who worked with Swift on her 1989 album, could not agree any less. For him, Taylor Swift is relentless and unafraid.
In Swift's interview with Ellen Degeneres (video below), which will be shown on Oct. 27, the "Shake It Off" singer said she cannot shake off the feeling she could get framed for murder anytime in her life, what with all the made-up lies about her on headlines every day. She said if that happens, she's not going to last in jail. Whether she's serious or joking, she's deadpan about the probability of getting framed because people are fond of spreading rumours about her.
"I think the dream and the nightmare of being framed comes from I could do nothing wrong, I could sit in my house with the cats all day and somehow there could be an article about me buying a house in a place I've never been or dating a guy I've never met. But then you take it a step further and in nightmare world it's being framed for murder," explains the "Red" singer to Ellen DeGeneres, who could not believe what she's hearing.
The singer also shared that she's very afraid of sea urchins, especially if she imagines all the scenarios that could take place once sea urchins approach her, which she describes as "a grenade," waiting to injure anyone. She firmly believes a sea urchin can wound people with its barbs, and as a result, the person can lose a foot or a hand.
Ellen DeGeneres told her the best one could get from a sea urchin wound would be swelling and redness. Taylor said this is hardly comforting as no one wants redness and swelling anyway.
Still, even if the singer can share about being afraid, none of these jitteriness can be observed in her new album,1989. In this album, she also collaborated with Fun's Jack Antonoff, who also praised her being a risk-taker. Antonoff, who worked with Swift on the songs, "Out of the Woods "and "I Wish You Would," said everything in the new album was about "new territory, taking chances, being unafraid." Antonoff continues by saying Swift is "relentlessly pushing herself to be unafraid of taking chances." Being brave is paying off too, with "Shake It Off" doing well in the charts and downloads as well as the recent newcomers, "Out of the Woods" and "Welcome to New York."
