UPDATE: Taylor Swift Boots Out Jessica Hart From Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – Report [VIDEO]
Taylor Swift has reportedly got Australian model Jessica Hart booted out from the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. According to a report, the U.S. songstress wasn’t over the catwalk beauty’s diss after her performance at the 2013 show.
Swift didn’t just sing, she sort of walked the runway as well when she appeared at the 2013 fashion show of the famous lingerie brand. While her performance was widely praised, there were a few remarks received that weren’t entirely positive. One of those remarks came from Hart, who walked the runway in the show.
“God bless her heart,” the 28-year-old model said to Women’s Wear Daily. “I think she’s great. But I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit. I don’t know if I should say that.”
She explained to Vogue Australia later on that her words were taken out of context. There were reports that Hart was fired after her candid comments, but VS denied that her words affected her relationship with the company in any way.
That was a year ago, but apparently, Swift hasn’t forgotten Hart’s perceived dig yet. New York Daily News reports that the 24-year-old “Blank Space” hitmaker has specifically requested Hart’s absence in the 2014 show.
Swift returned to the runway for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show at Earl’s Court in London on Tuesday. Her comeback didn’t come without a price, though.
“It’s not been announced that Jessica is not walking, but it was a direct request from Taylor that his be the case if she were to go,” an insider told Confidenti@l. “No one can know that Taylor requested Ms Hart not be in the show. They want to keep that under wraps, but that’s the facts.”
It’s unknown what the real reason behind Hart’s absence in the show was. She did, however, wished her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels good luck ahead of the big night.
“Throwback to this time last year.. Good luck to all the girlies tonight! Can’t wait to see all your amazing outfits,” Hart captioned her VS photo on Instagram. “have so much fun .. Love you ALL! #vsfashionshow2014”
UPDATE: There’s a more plausible reason why Hart wasn’t in the most famous fashion show on Tuesday. As the Herald Sun surmised, it’s likely that the Melbourne beauty didn’t walk the glittery runway of Victoria’s Secret because she has suffered serious burns on her foot and ankle.
In October, she appeared at her Luma skincare event at Myer in Melbourne, showing off the not fully healed burn scars on her right foot. Although the Swift fury story appeared possible, the burn foot angle appears just as likely the reason why Hart didn’t show up in the fashion show.
